I know some of you out there have been SUPER DUPER patient, waiting for the Shampoo Bar to make a comeback! Others are like, whaaa, Shampoo Bar, what even IS that?

To both camps, I can say, Yes! Welcome to the new Shampoo Bar...not soap-based like our old bar, but a much gentler version and the equivalent to 16oz of liquid shampoo! This latest bar is surfactant-based, yet with our fave parts of our old version, like rhassoul clay which imparts lift to the locks, and rosemary for a happy scalp. Surfactants provide the context for the forbidden love between two substances, oil and water. With Surfactants, the Romeo and Juliet affair between oil and water doesn’t end in tragedy, but rather, a bomb ass hair day. 

The Shampoo Bar is gentle on the hair and scalp, making it for use on the daily. Because it is concentrated, be sure to remember a little goes a long way!

ESSENTIAL OIL FINE FRAGRANCE

BASIL - EUCALYPTUS - LAVENDER ESSENTIAL OILS

**A relaxing and uplifting scent meant to conjure the essence of California dreaming. 

“Standing on the coast I feel the mist on my face. I’ve been here before, the scent helps retrace. A life of solitude on the ocean is ideal. If you listen, Big Sur’s secrets will reveal. Continue to feel revived as nature embraces, close your eyes and let it take you places. Just south of Monterey you will find, a home for you of solitude & peace of mind.”  -Blake Hays

South of Monterey is inspired by the coast of California, specifically Big Sur, Monterey & the Eucalyptus trees that have claimed the land as their own. The combination of these three scents is meant to conjure the essence of California dreaming.

Our 10ml essential oil fragrances continue our belief in an all natural products. They are a blend of Golden Jojoba oil & 100% natural essential oils. Roller baller applicator. ** 

Our Products are each unique and original to Village Common. Our scents are inspired by the American landscape and hand-crafted in small batches in the USA. Each scent is named for locations held near to our hearts - childhood homes, inspiring travels, our rich history - and is accompanied with an original poem, penned by owner Blake Hays, that is meant to capture the ephemeral essence of each scents namesake.

ESSENTIAL OIL FINE FRAGRANCE

BERGAMOT - VETIVER - PARSLEY SEED ESSENTIAL OILS

**A heavy, earthy scent with the depths and mystery of the Chihuahuan Desert. 

“Chisos remain a ghost or spirit. The presence is evident as you near it. The scent carries through rock and dust. It’s here you surrender and learn to trust. The Chisos Mountains, land of beauty and grace. A trail leads to your heart oh holy and spiritual place.”  -Blake Hays

Chisos (7825) is inspired by a 3 day, 20 mile, life changing hike through the Chisos Mountain range of South West Texas. Alongside great friends we hiked to the highest point in the Chisos Mountains, Emory Peak, topping out at 7825 feet above sea level. This scent is meant to capture the beauty & inspiration we found in the desert landscape.

ESSENTIAL OIL FINE FRAGRANCE

PINE - CEDAR - BIRCH TAR ESSENTIAL OILS

**A woodsy and smokey scent that lingers like a night around the camp fire or a hike through the Blue Ridge Mountains. 

“I smell it coming from Virginia down. I’ve finally made it to my home town. Appalachia is part of who I am today. She’s stretched her fingers wide to conjure such display. Of peaks and wood we feel her beat. To the Blue Ridge Mountains forever, retreat."  -Blake Hays

The Appalachian Mountains, particularly the Blue Ridge Mountains & the Smoky Mountains, have been a family retreat for the Hays’ for many generations. They hold such a special place now in both our hearts. With breathtaking peaks & rich history, you can’t help but feel connected to & restored by these beautiful mountains.

Ingredients: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Nut Oil, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Cera Alba (Natural Beeswax), Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil

PATTERN:

An original mfsc pattern, inspired by vintage European waistcoats, notably an original 1950’s-60’s tailor-made British specimen.

FABRIC:
Slate Grey twill: New Old Stock, 60% cotton – 40% linen, 8 Oz. denim twill, also with a probable Italian origin.

Lining: Two similar types of fancy New Old Stock 100% cotton fabrics, natural white with woven blue stripe.

The Continental Vest is designed in California by Mister Freedom® and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom® in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.

SPECS

* Six-button front.
* Two slanted box-pleat patch pockets with buttoned flaps.
* Full matching back with cinch strap, European-style metal buckle.
* Fancy corozo wood buttons.
* Full lining, woven stripe suit-lining fabric, no open seams.
* Made in USA!

FIT

The Continental Vest comes raw/unwashed. We recommend the usual initial 30mn cold soak/occasional hand agitation/spin dry/hang dry process. For the three fabric options, the tagged size reflects the size of the garment after going through this process. All fabric options will shrink to roughly the same measurements.

Please note that it is the nature of cotton-linen blend textiles to wrinkle and slightly stretch back and forth with each laundry/wear cycle. For example, freshly laundered linen garments fit tighter in the morning than at the end of the day. If you prefer a clean, pressed look following the initial soaking process, the Continental Vest can be steamed or professionally pressed.

I opted for a Size 38 in all options of the Continental Vest. This is my usual size in mfsc top garments. However, I have done a full rinse cycle with the Vests, and used a heat dryer for about five minutes to get the shrinkage that fitted my tastes.

CARE

Please refer to sizing chart for approximate raw/soaked measurements. Soaked = 30mn cold soak, spin dry and line dry. Further shrinkage and creasing will be achieved with full wash cycle (on delicate) and a heat dryer cycle.

Hand wash or machine wash unbuttoned on delicate, cold water with minimal environmentally friendly detergent. Line dry.

NOTE: Full washing cycle and machine dry will result in maximum shrinkage, to be experimented with care and at owner’s risk.

Available RAW/unwashed

PATTERN:

An original mfsc pattern, inspired by cotton work coats and other unstructured blazers, notably a 1950’s French postal uniform jacket.

FABRIC:
Slate Grey twill: New Old Stock, 60% cotton – 40% linen, 8 Oz. denim twill, also with a probable Italian origin. 

Lining: New Old Stock, 100% cotton, natural white with woven blue stripe.

The Continental Sportcoat is designed in California by Mister Freedom® and manufactured in California by Mister Freedom® in collaboration with Sugar Cane Co.

* High button front.
* Corrozo wood butons.
* Half shoulder floating lining.

The Continental Sportcoat is quite broad-shouldered and is not designed to fit like a bespoke Savile Row coat, but rather like a casual ‘unstructured blazer’. I am wearing a Size 38 in both charcoal and slate grey Continental Sportcoat. This is my usual size in mfsc jackets, although I have done a full rinse cycle with the Sportcoat, and used a heat dryer for about five minutes.
