Mister Freedom × Sugar Cane Men's Buckaroos Waist Overalls, Vintage-Inspired Regular Straight-Leg Jeans, 13.75 oz. 100% Cotton NOS Selvedge Denim, Western Flap Pockets, Back Cinch, Button Fly, One-Wash, Made in USA (SC42694, 421 A.NAVY One-Wash)
Mister Freedom
Sugar Cane
These men's Buckaroos Waist Overalls are made in the USA as part of the SPORTSMAN line within MFSC, the collaboration between Mister Freedom and Sugar Cane, Toyo Enterprises' workwear label. Designed at the Mister Freedom atelier, this original cowboy-jean design brings together details drawn from Western slacks and early denim work pants. The 13.75 oz. 100% cotton NOS selvedge denim combines indigo-dyed warp yarns with natural-colored weft yarns, giving the dark navy surface subtle tonal variation, fine surface fibers, and an irregular woven texture. Convertible Western front pockets, an adjustable back cinch integrated into the rear yoke, NOS indigo-striped pocket bags, and signature M stitching on the rear pockets distinguish the construction. A five-button fly, six belt loops, concealed rear-pocket rivets, and chainstitched hems complete the design. The one-wash finish softens the denim's initial feel while retaining moderate body. A somewhat higher rise and regular straight legs balance the rugged character of vintage-inspired jeans with proportions suited to everyday casual wear.
Size and Fit Guide:
Gender: Men.
Our model is wearing a tagged size 30. He stands approximately 5'9" (175 cm) tall, weighs approximately 130 lbs (59 kg), and has a chest measurement of approximately 36 inches (91 cm). His usual size in U.S. denim is W29.
Fit: These jeans have a regular straight fit with a somewhat higher rise that leans toward a high-rise silhouette. They provide moderate room through the hips and thighs without feeling particularly slim or loose, and the legs fall naturally in a straight line from the knees to the hems. The front uses a button fly. The one-wash denim retains moderate firmness and body while offering a more supple initial feel than unwashed denim.
The deeper rise tends to position the waistband somewhat higher on the body than it would sit on typical mid-rise pants, closer to the relatively narrower waist area above the hip bones. Even if the actual waist measurement is smaller than that of mid-rise pants with the same tagged size, the resulting fit will depend on your body proportions and where you wear the waistband.
Waist measurement alone does not determine the fit. The depth of the rise, the shape of the crotch and seat, the room through the hips, and the pattern shaping between the hips and waistband also affect how the jeans sit on your body. Choosing your usual tagged size may therefore result in a different waistband position, and the waist may feel more closely fitted than it does in a pair of mid-rise pants.
Available sizes: Tagged sizes 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, and 38.
Before selecting your size, please measure a similar pair of jeans that fits you well, preferably with a comparable rise, and compare its measurements with the actual garment measurements below. Please consider the waist, front rise, thigh width, inseam, and leg opening together rather than relying on the tagged size alone.
As a general guide, your usual jeans size may be a helpful starting point when considering this model, with your final choice guided by the actual garment measurements and your preferred fit.
[Actual Garment Measurements]
The following measurements are taken from the garment itself, not from the wearer's body. The waist measurement is calculated by doubling the width measured straight across the top of the waistband with the jeans laid flat. Thigh and leg-opening measurements are the flat widths of one leg and are not doubled.
In inches
In centimeters
[How We Measure the Actual Garment]
The garment is laid flat and measured by hand with a measuring tape.
Waist: Measure straight across the top of the waistband from side to side, then double that measurement to obtain the full waist measurement.
Total Length: Measure straight from the top edge of the waistband to the bottom edge of the hem.
Inseam: Measure straight from the crotch seam to the bottom edge of the hem on the inside-seam side of the leg.
Front Rise: Measure straight from the crotch seam, where the inseams meet, up to the top edge of the front waistband.
Thigh: Measure the width of one leg approximately 3 cm (1.2 inches) below the crotch seam, straight across from one side to the other.
Leg Opening: Measure straight across the bottom hem of one leg, from one side to the other. This measurement represents the flat width of the leg opening.
The actual measurements, including the waist, may vary slightly between individual garments because of the fabric's characteristics, the one-wash finishing process, and differences in measuring methods. The depth of the rise and the position of the waistband when worn can also affect how the waist feels.
Made in USA.

Mister Freedom × Sugar Cane: The MFSC Collaboration
Established in 2003, Mister Freedom developed its approach to clothing design alongside its work with vintage garments. Research into historical clothing, including its construction, materials, and functional details, became a foundation for the brand's original designs.
Mister Freedom began collaborating with Sugar Cane in 2007. Sugar Cane is the workwear label of Toyo Enterprises, and their joint MFSC collection combines historical garment references with original interpretations. These jeans are part of that collaboration, bringing together details associated with Western slacks and early denim work pants in a contemporary garment.
Original Buckaroos Cowboy-Jean Design
The Buckaroos were designed at the Mister Freedom atelier as an original interpretation of cowboy jeans. Their distinguishing features include Western front pockets with repositionable flaps and a back cinch incorporated into the rear yoke. Together, the pocket arrangement and rear-waist construction give the design a character distinct from conventional five-pocket jeans.
"Waist overalls" is a historical term used for work pants covering the body from the waist down. This version combines the Buckaroos pattern with 13.75 oz. NOS selvedge denim. It belongs to the SPORTSMAN, Made in USA line and is manufactured in the United States for the Japanese market.
Regular Straight Legs with a Somewhat Higher Rise
The cut combines a somewhat higher rise with a regular straight fit. Moderate room through the hips and thighs creates a balanced silhouette that is neither particularly slim nor excessively loose. From the knees to the hems, the legs fall in a natural straight line.
These proportions retain the rugged appearance associated with vintage-inspired jeans while remaining suitable for everyday casual wear. The button fly and distinctive pocket and cinch details add traditional construction elements without changing the overall regular straight-leg shape.
13.75 oz. 100% Cotton NOS Selvedge Denim
The main fabric is 13.75 oz. selvedge denim made from 100% cotton. NOS stands for "New Old Stock," referring here to fabric that was produced previously and stored unused before being made into these jeans. The term describes the fabric stock, while the finished jeans are a new garment.
The denim combines moderate crispness and body with a degree of suppleness. It retains enough structure to show the shape of the straight legs, pocket flaps, and cinch straps, while the finished fabric does not have an excessively rigid feel.
Indigo Warp, Natural-Colored Weft, and an Irregular Surface
Indigo-dyed lengthwise warp yarns are woven with natural-colored crosswise weft yarns. Small portions of the lighter weft show between the dark indigo warp, creating fine tonal differences within the deep indigo and navy color identified as 421 A.NAVY.
Natural yarn irregularities, fine surface fibers, and subtle unevenness in the weave create small variations in the fabric's surface. These details give the denim visual depth and a textured hand rather than a uniformly smooth appearance. The combination of dark indigo, pale weft, and gently uneven texture contributes to the rustic character associated with vintage workwear.
Selvedge Edges Along the Outseams
The selvedge edges are visible inside the outer seam of each leg. They form part of the seam allowances running down the outside of the jeans and can be seen by turning up the hems.
This placement makes the fabric edge a visible detail when the jeans are worn with rolled cuffs. At the bottom of each leg, the vertical selvedge seam allowances meet the horizontal stitching of the hem.
One-Wash Finish
The completed jeans have been washed once as part of the finishing process. This treatment softens the denim's initial crispness while retaining moderate body, giving the garment a more settled feel from the first wear.
Compared with an unwashed garment, the one-wash finish reduces the likelihood of substantial shrinkage during subsequent laundering. However, minor additional shrinkage or other dimensional changes may still occur depending on washing methods, drying conditions, and individual garment variation.
With repeated wear and washing, the fabric gradually becomes more supple and adapts to the wearer's movements. The indigo also develops natural tonal variation and fading, changing the appearance of the denim over time.
Five-Button Front Closure
The front closure consists of one top button attached to the waistband and four additional buttons arranged vertically along the fly, for a total of five buttons.
The top button secures the waistband, while the four buttons below it fasten the front opening. This arrangement provides the traditional button-fly construction associated with early denim work pants and vintage-inspired jeans.
Convertible Western Front Pockets
A Western-style pocket is positioned on each side of the front. Each pocket opening has a fold-back flap with a buttonhole, allowing the flap to be secured in either a lowered or raised position.
When the flap is folded downward and fastened to the lower button on the body of the jeans, the angled pocket opening is exposed for easier hand access. When the flap is raised and fastened to the upper button, it covers the opening and helps reduce the chance of the contents slipping out.
Using the upper and lower buttons changes both the position of the flap and the accessibility of the pocket. The flap is therefore a movable part of the pocket construction, serving a practical purpose as well as defining the appearance of the front of the jeans.
Western Pocket Inspiration and Rivet Reinforcement
The fold-back pocket arrangement draws on Western clothing designed to help keep pocket contents in place while riding a horse or sitting in the bouncing seat of an older truck. The Buckaroos incorporate that practical idea into their distinctive front-pocket design.
Rivets reinforce the ends of the pocket openings, where repeated hand access and the weight of stored items can place stress on the fabric and stitching. The rivets work together with the sewn pocket construction to reinforce these points.
Antiqued Mister Freedom Metal Buttons
All buttons are made from metal with an antiqued finish and are stamped with the MISTER FREEDOM name. The same style of branded hardware is used at the front closure and on the Western pockets.
This consistent treatment ties together the metal details around the waist and front pockets, complementing the dark indigo denim and the garment's vintage-inspired construction.
NOS Indigo-Striped Front Pocket Bags
The front pocket bags are made from NOS indigo-striped fabric. Broad stripes alternate between indigo and a pale, natural-colored tone, giving the pocket interiors a distinct woven pattern.
This fabric forms the internal pocket bags behind the denim front-pocket construction. Its striped appearance adds a material detail that becomes visible when the pocket interiors or the inside of the jeans are examined.
Pentagonal Rear Patch Pockets
Two rear patch pockets are positioned over the hips, one on each side. Each is cut from the same denim as the main body and laid over the outside of the rear panel. Stitching along the sides and bottom attaches the pocket, leaving a storage compartment between the pocket fabric and the body of the jeans.
The lower corners are cut on an angle so that the center of the bottom sits lower, creating a five-sided outline. A gently curved upper opening contrasts with the angular lower section. The top edge is folded and secured with stitching to finish the pocket opening.
Concealed Rivets at the Rear Pocket Openings
Both ends of each rear pocket opening are reinforced with concealed rivets. The rivet heads are covered on the outside rather than exposed on the visible pocket surface.
This construction reinforces the upper attachment points while preserving the uninterrupted denim appearance around the pocket corners.
Signature M Stitching
Both rear pockets carry an M-shaped stitched design associated with Mister Freedom. The stitched lines rise from near the lower portion of the pocket into two tall peaks, then descend deeply toward the center to form the letter.
The height of the two peaks and the low central dip create a distinctive pattern within the pentagonal pocket outline. Together, the pocket shape and M stitching give the back of the jeans a recognizable appearance.
Matching Denim Waistband
A band of matching denim forms the waistband at the top of the jeans. It provides the upper edge of the garment and carries the top front button and belt loops.
Using the same fabric keeps the waistband visually consistent with the body, while its horizontal shape defines the top of the jeans above the rear yoke and back-cinch construction.
Shallow V-Shaped Rear Yoke
The rear yoke connects the waistband to the back panels of the jeans. Its lower joining seam slopes downward from each side toward the center back, forming a shallow V.
The back-cinch straps are incorporated into this yoke construction. Their attachment points are set into the yoke joins and secured with stitching and rivets, integrating the adjustment system into the structure of the rear waist.
Adjustable Back Cinch Integrated into the Yoke
Matching denim straps extend inward from the left and right sides of the yoke and meet at a metal buckle near the center back. The straps curve gently upward, pass beneath the belt loops, and continue toward the central fastening.
Changing the length of strap fed through the buckle adjusts how closely the rear waist is drawn in. Tightening the cinch pulls the straps toward the center, gathering the fabric between their attachment points.
The buckle has a dark-toned metal finish that sits quietly against the deep indigo denim. The curved straps, their riveted attachment points, and the central buckle make the cinch a prominent part of the Buckaroos' rear construction.
Six Belt Loops
Six belt loops are arranged around the waistband, allowing the jeans to be worn with a belt. They provide a conventional belt option in addition to the adjustment available through the rear cinch.
At the back, the relationship between the loops and the straps remains visible, with the cinch straps passing underneath the loops on their way toward the central buckle.
Printed MFSC Cloth Label Behind the Cinch
A cloth brand label is sewn near the center-back belt loop. It is printed with the names Mister Freedom and Sugar Cane, together with the MFSC designation.
The label sits behind the back-cinch straps. In their normal position, the straps conceal the middle portion of the label, leaving parts of the print visible above and below. This layered placement makes the label part of the rear-waist construction.
Interior Size and Country-of-Origin Label
A small label inside the waist carries the tagged size and the wording "MADE IN U.S. of A."
Examining the inside of the jeans also reveals the waistband stitching, yoke joins, reverse sides of the rivets, and indigo-striped pocket bags. These interior details show how the fabric panels, hardware, and pocket components are assembled beneath the exterior surface.
Narrow Folded Hems with Chainstitching
The hems are finished by turning the fabric edges inward in a narrow fold and securing them with chainstitching. A clean, single line of stitching appears on the outside, while linked thread loops form the characteristic chain pattern on the inside.
At each outseam, the horizontal hem stitching crosses the selvedge seam allowances running down the outer leg. Turning up the hem reveals both the chainstitched finish and the selvedge construction in the same area.
Wear and Fading Around the Construction Details
As the jeans are worn and washed, changes develop in the indigo color, surface fibers, seams, pocket openings, cinch straps, and hems. Areas where fabric overlaps, particularly the pocket flaps and cinch straps, can develop wear marks along their edges and folds.
These localized changes gradually emphasize the shape of the Buckaroos' distinctive construction. Their appearance will vary according to how often the jeans are worn, the wearer's movements, and the washing methods used.
Made in USA
Made in the United States, these jeans bring together convertible Western pockets, a back cinch integrated into the yoke, NOS indigo-striped pocket bags, signature M stitching, and 13.75 oz. NOS selvedge denim.
The design draws on the practical details of historical Western clothing and denim work pants, combining them through the pattern, materials, stitching, and hardware of the Mister Freedom × Sugar Cane collaboration. The regular straight silhouette and one-wash finish carry that construction into an everyday casual garment.
Care Instructions
Machine wash on a very gentle cycle at a maximum water temperature of 30°C (86°F).
Do not bleach.
Do not tumble dry.
Hang to dry in the shade.
Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the garment.
Professional dry cleaning with petroleum-based solvents is permitted using a mild process.

Handling Indigo-Dyed Denim
This product contains indigo dye. Friction during wear and washing may release color, which can transfer to other clothing, bags, shoes, belts, chairs, sofas, vehicle seats, and other surfaces.
The possibility of color transfer increases when the denim is damp from perspiration, rain, or other moisture. Please take particular care when the jeans come into contact with white or light-colored clothing, accessories, or furniture.
Separate Washing and Prompt Drying
Wash the jeans separately to help prevent released dye from transferring to other garments. Do not leave the wet jeans stacked with or resting against other clothing or objects.
After washing, promptly reshape the garment and hang it to dry in the shade. Although the jeans have already been one-washed, further shrinkage or dimensional changes may occur depending on the washing and drying conditions.
Always follow the care instructions attached to the actual product.

[How We Measure the Actual Garment]
The garment is laid flat and measured by hand with a measuring tape.
Waist: Measure straight across the top of the waistband from side to side, then double that measurement to obtain the full waist measurement.
Total Length: Measure straight from the top edge of the waistband to the bottom edge of the hem.
Inseam: Measure straight from the crotch seam to the bottom edge of the hem on the inside-seam side of the leg.
Front Rise: Measure straight from the crotch seam, where the inseams meet, up to the top edge of the front waistband.
Thigh: Measure the width of one leg approximately 3 cm (1.2 inches) below the crotch seam, straight across from one side to the other.
Leg Opening: Measure straight across the bottom hem of one leg, from one side to the other. This measurement represents the flat width of the leg opening.
The actual measurements, including the waist, may vary slightly between individual garments because of the fabric's characteristics, the one-wash finishing process, and differences in measuring methods. The depth of the rise and the position of the waistband when worn can also affect how the waist feels.

Mister Freedom × Sugar Cane: The MFSC Collaboration
Established in 2003, Mister Freedom developed its approach to clothing design alongside its work with vintage garments. Research into historical clothing, including its construction, materials, and functional details, became a foundation for the brand's original designs.
Mister Freedom began collaborating with Sugar Cane in 2007. Sugar Cane is the workwear label of Toyo Enterprises, and their joint MFSC collection combines historical garment references with original interpretations. These jeans are part of that collaboration, bringing together details associated with Western slacks and early denim work pants in a contemporary garment.
Original Buckaroos Cowboy-Jean Design
The Buckaroos were designed at the Mister Freedom atelier as an original interpretation of cowboy jeans. Their distinguishing features include Western front pockets with repositionable flaps and a back cinch incorporated into the rear yoke. Together, the pocket arrangement and rear-waist construction give the design a character distinct from conventional five-pocket jeans.
"Waist overalls" is a historical term used for work pants covering the body from the waist down. This version combines the Buckaroos pattern with 13.75 oz. NOS selvedge denim. It belongs to the SPORTSMAN, Made in USA line and is manufactured in the United States for the Japanese market.
Regular Straight Legs with a Somewhat Higher Rise
The cut combines a somewhat higher rise with a regular straight fit. Moderate room through the hips and thighs creates a balanced silhouette that is neither particularly slim nor excessively loose. From the knees to the hems, the legs fall in a natural straight line.
These proportions retain the rugged appearance associated with vintage-inspired jeans while remaining suitable for everyday casual wear. The button fly and distinctive pocket and cinch details add traditional construction elements without changing the overall regular straight-leg shape.
13.75 oz. 100% Cotton NOS Selvedge Denim
The main fabric is 13.75 oz. selvedge denim made from 100% cotton. NOS stands for "New Old Stock," referring here to fabric that was produced previously and stored unused before being made into these jeans. The term describes the fabric stock, while the finished jeans are a new garment.
The denim combines moderate crispness and body with a degree of suppleness. It retains enough structure to show the shape of the straight legs, pocket flaps, and cinch straps, while the finished fabric does not have an excessively rigid feel.
Indigo Warp, Natural-Colored Weft, and an Irregular Surface
Indigo-dyed lengthwise warp yarns are woven with natural-colored crosswise weft yarns. Small portions of the lighter weft show between the dark indigo warp, creating fine tonal differences within the deep indigo and navy color identified as 421 A.NAVY.
Natural yarn irregularities, fine surface fibers, and subtle unevenness in the weave create small variations in the fabric's surface. These details give the denim visual depth and a textured hand rather than a uniformly smooth appearance. The combination of dark indigo, pale weft, and gently uneven texture contributes to the rustic character associated with vintage workwear.
Selvedge Edges Along the Outseams
The selvedge edges are visible inside the outer seam of each leg. They form part of the seam allowances running down the outside of the jeans and can be seen by turning up the hems.
This placement makes the fabric edge a visible detail when the jeans are worn with rolled cuffs. At the bottom of each leg, the vertical selvedge seam allowances meet the horizontal stitching of the hem.
One-Wash Finish
The completed jeans have been washed once as part of the finishing process. This treatment softens the denim's initial crispness while retaining moderate body, giving the garment a more settled feel from the first wear.
Compared with an unwashed garment, the one-wash finish reduces the likelihood of substantial shrinkage during subsequent laundering. However, minor additional shrinkage or other dimensional changes may still occur depending on washing methods, drying conditions, and individual garment variation.
With repeated wear and washing, the fabric gradually becomes more supple and adapts to the wearer's movements. The indigo also develops natural tonal variation and fading, changing the appearance of the denim over time.
Five-Button Front Closure
The front closure consists of one top button attached to the waistband and four additional buttons arranged vertically along the fly, for a total of five buttons.
The top button secures the waistband, while the four buttons below it fasten the front opening. This arrangement provides the traditional button-fly construction associated with early denim work pants and vintage-inspired jeans.
Convertible Western Front Pockets
A Western-style pocket is positioned on each side of the front. Each pocket opening has a fold-back flap with a buttonhole, allowing the flap to be secured in either a lowered or raised position.
When the flap is folded downward and fastened to the lower button on the body of the jeans, the angled pocket opening is exposed for easier hand access. When the flap is raised and fastened to the upper button, it covers the opening and helps reduce the chance of the contents slipping out.
Using the upper and lower buttons changes both the position of the flap and the accessibility of the pocket. The flap is therefore a movable part of the pocket construction, serving a practical purpose as well as defining the appearance of the front of the jeans.
Western Pocket Inspiration and Rivet Reinforcement
The fold-back pocket arrangement draws on Western clothing designed to help keep pocket contents in place while riding a horse or sitting in the bouncing seat of an older truck. The Buckaroos incorporate that practical idea into their distinctive front-pocket design.
Rivets reinforce the ends of the pocket openings, where repeated hand access and the weight of stored items can place stress on the fabric and stitching. The rivets work together with the sewn pocket construction to reinforce these points.
Antiqued Mister Freedom Metal Buttons
All buttons are made from metal with an antiqued finish and are stamped with the MISTER FREEDOM name. The same style of branded hardware is used at the front closure and on the Western pockets.
This consistent treatment ties together the metal details around the waist and front pockets, complementing the dark indigo denim and the garment's vintage-inspired construction.
NOS Indigo-Striped Front Pocket Bags
The front pocket bags are made from NOS indigo-striped fabric. Broad stripes alternate between indigo and a pale, natural-colored tone, giving the pocket interiors a distinct woven pattern.
This fabric forms the internal pocket bags behind the denim front-pocket construction. Its striped appearance adds a material detail that becomes visible when the pocket interiors or the inside of the jeans are examined.
Pentagonal Rear Patch Pockets
Two rear patch pockets are positioned over the hips, one on each side. Each is cut from the same denim as the main body and laid over the outside of the rear panel. Stitching along the sides and bottom attaches the pocket, leaving a storage compartment between the pocket fabric and the body of the jeans.
The lower corners are cut on an angle so that the center of the bottom sits lower, creating a five-sided outline. A gently curved upper opening contrasts with the angular lower section. The top edge is folded and secured with stitching to finish the pocket opening.
Concealed Rivets at the Rear Pocket Openings
Both ends of each rear pocket opening are reinforced with concealed rivets. The rivet heads are covered on the outside rather than exposed on the visible pocket surface.
This construction reinforces the upper attachment points while preserving the uninterrupted denim appearance around the pocket corners.
Signature M Stitching
Both rear pockets carry an M-shaped stitched design associated with Mister Freedom. The stitched lines rise from near the lower portion of the pocket into two tall peaks, then descend deeply toward the center to form the letter.
The height of the two peaks and the low central dip create a distinctive pattern within the pentagonal pocket outline. Together, the pocket shape and M stitching give the back of the jeans a recognizable appearance.
Matching Denim Waistband
A band of matching denim forms the waistband at the top of the jeans. It provides the upper edge of the garment and carries the top front button and belt loops.
Using the same fabric keeps the waistband visually consistent with the body, while its horizontal shape defines the top of the jeans above the rear yoke and back-cinch construction.
Shallow V-Shaped Rear Yoke
The rear yoke connects the waistband to the back panels of the jeans. Its lower joining seam slopes downward from each side toward the center back, forming a shallow V.
The back-cinch straps are incorporated into this yoke construction. Their attachment points are set into the yoke joins and secured with stitching and rivets, integrating the adjustment system into the structure of the rear waist.
Adjustable Back Cinch Integrated into the Yoke
Matching denim straps extend inward from the left and right sides of the yoke and meet at a metal buckle near the center back. The straps curve gently upward, pass beneath the belt loops, and continue toward the central fastening.
Changing the length of strap fed through the buckle adjusts how closely the rear waist is drawn in. Tightening the cinch pulls the straps toward the center, gathering the fabric between their attachment points.
The buckle has a dark-toned metal finish that sits quietly against the deep indigo denim. The curved straps, their riveted attachment points, and the central buckle make the cinch a prominent part of the Buckaroos' rear construction.
Six Belt Loops
Six belt loops are arranged around the waistband, allowing the jeans to be worn with a belt. They provide a conventional belt option in addition to the adjustment available through the rear cinch.
At the back, the relationship between the loops and the straps remains visible, with the cinch straps passing underneath the loops on their way toward the central buckle.
Printed MFSC Cloth Label Behind the Cinch
A cloth brand label is sewn near the center-back belt loop. It is printed with the names Mister Freedom and Sugar Cane, together with the MFSC designation.
The label sits behind the back-cinch straps. In their normal position, the straps conceal the middle portion of the label, leaving parts of the print visible above and below. This layered placement makes the label part of the rear-waist construction.
Interior Size and Country-of-Origin Label
A small label inside the waist carries the tagged size and the wording "MADE IN U.S. of A."
Examining the inside of the jeans also reveals the waistband stitching, yoke joins, reverse sides of the rivets, and indigo-striped pocket bags. These interior details show how the fabric panels, hardware, and pocket components are assembled beneath the exterior surface.
Narrow Folded Hems with Chainstitching
The hems are finished by turning the fabric edges inward in a narrow fold and securing them with chainstitching. A clean, single line of stitching appears on the outside, while linked thread loops form the characteristic chain pattern on the inside.
At each outseam, the horizontal hem stitching crosses the selvedge seam allowances running down the outer leg. Turning up the hem reveals both the chainstitched finish and the selvedge construction in the same area.
Wear and Fading Around the Construction Details
As the jeans are worn and washed, changes develop in the indigo color, surface fibers, seams, pocket openings, cinch straps, and hems. Areas where fabric overlaps, particularly the pocket flaps and cinch straps, can develop wear marks along their edges and folds.
These localized changes gradually emphasize the shape of the Buckaroos' distinctive construction. Their appearance will vary according to how often the jeans are worn, the wearer's movements, and the washing methods used.
Made in USA
Made in the United States, these jeans bring together convertible Western pockets, a back cinch integrated into the yoke, NOS indigo-striped pocket bags, signature M stitching, and 13.75 oz. NOS selvedge denim.
The design draws on the practical details of historical Western clothing and denim work pants, combining them through the pattern, materials, stitching, and hardware of the Mister Freedom × Sugar Cane collaboration. The regular straight silhouette and one-wash finish carry that construction into an everyday casual garment.

Handling Indigo-Dyed Denim
This product contains indigo dye. Friction during wear and washing may release color, which can transfer to other clothing, bags, shoes, belts, chairs, sofas, vehicle seats, and other surfaces.
The possibility of color transfer increases when the denim is damp from perspiration, rain, or other moisture. Please take particular care when the jeans come into contact with white or light-colored clothing, accessories, or furniture.
Separate Washing and Prompt Drying
Wash the jeans separately to help prevent released dye from transferring to other garments. Do not leave the wet jeans stacked with or resting against other clothing or objects.
After washing, promptly reshape the garment and hang it to dry in the shade. Although the jeans have already been one-washed, further shrinkage or dimensional changes may occur depending on the washing and drying conditions.
Always follow the care instructions attached to the actual product.
