CL's Advice: The Bora-Bora Shirt-Jac is true-to-size. I opted for a medium, my usual size in mfsc top garments. The shirt length is purposely on the short side, typical of period Shirt-Jak garments, a bit accentuated visually by the body/armband wrap graphic. CARE Machine wash on delicate, cold water, minimal eco-friendly detergent. Turn inside-out. Line dry only. STORY The style of the our Bora-Bora Shirt-jac is inspired by 1950’s-60’s tropical island garb and vintage Shirt-Jac type garments. Casual hybrids between shirts and jackets, these are known in the tropics as the visitor’s attire of choice for luau, clambake and other beach BBQ festivities. A bit about our shirt’s graphic… The printing technique of the old-school monstera leaf wrapping body and arms is not your average silkscreening type method. An actual indigo-dyeing process was used to have the blue colors applied. Technically, the fabric is ‘indigo-printed’. This MF® garment is designed in California by Mister Freedom® and manufactured in Japan by Sugar Cane Co.
