Field Notes

Inspired by the classic work shirts of the 1930s, Freewheelers 'Birner' Mechanic Shirt is the perfect piece for year-round layering. Cut from a 100% cotton, this lightweight 8.5 oz. denim has been woven on an old-fashioned power loom, with a slub yarn, indigo dyed warp and natural-coloured slub yarn weft, this fabric will fade beautifully over time. Two asymmetrical chest pockets have been added, a hallmark of the period it was inspired by, and a buttoned chin strap adds nice detail to the collar. Featuring a Union Made tag on the inner placket and chain stitch run off on the hem, this shirt has all the period correct details we know and love.

Garment Care

How to Wash
Step 1

When you’re ready to wash your jeans, button the fly and turn them inside out. Doing up the fly ensures the jeans maintain their shape, and turning them inside out avoids unwanted marks from the washing machine drum on the indigo.

Step 2

Place the jeans in your washing machine with neutral detergent, and set them on a non/low-spin wash at cold–20 degrees for raw, or up to 30 degrees for pre-washed. High spin may cause unwanted 'lightning fades', and washing too hot can cause excess shrinkage, so it’s important to follow these steps carefully!

Step 3

Once your jeans are done washing, hang them somewhere safe and allow them to air dry. Putting your jeans in a tumble dryer has a high chance of degrading the fabric and misshaping your jeans. Make sure wherever you hang them has proper drainage, as you’ll be expecting some indigo runoff.
