WTW

Vintage Carter's Watch the Wear apron out of Lebanon New Hampshire, courtesy of the bay. Fact of the day- my art school room mate is/was from Lebenon- Hey J.Y!

Powr House jacket from Montgomery Ward picked up from the Rose Bowl. Everything is in good order except for the removal of the top front pockets. Nicely worked in, soft with good stitching. I had two new pockets added to the interior with Boro scraps and ghosted the exterior pockets in remembrance. Should be good for the colder wood shed days...

1960's Open Road Stetson picked up at the Rose Bowl.

is/was projects

Soft launch of a new Arm endeavor, is/was projects. A glimpse: 

Is/was projects is a small independent venture in handmade neckties. Fabrics range from Japanese textile remnants and dead stock cotton kimono fabrics to batik. All materials are vintage leftovers from larger garments, blankets and decorative pieces, allowing the textile to find new form and purpose. Each tie is unique, hand cut and sewn in San Francisco. Is/was projects is a chance to not only wear a necktie, but an antique textile with both a past and a future in the present.

more to come soon
