This is often how I feel in the studio these days. Surrounded by clothes, socializing with a cat.
DM if anything strikes your fancy.

We got some good snow yesterday, so I figured I’d spend the day in the studio, listening to the audiobook The Bohemians by Norman Ohler, dressing fake people, and making attractive looking piles of stuff.

Just listed these three beauties on the website, starting the year off right.

First up is a Soviet overdyed telogreika, similar to the one I had awhile back… good size, from approximately the 1960s.

Second one is serious, 1930s Boss of the Road carpenter’s overalls. Uncommon color, with some gorgeous details.

Third is a simple and beautiful French staple, a pleated cotton pullover shirt, formerly from the Marseille costume manufacturer where my costumes come from.

All available now on the site. Happy New Year! 🎆

It’s been a weird and wild year, and the cross country transition has been… well, it’s been difficult, but beautiful.

I just want to thank anyone and everyone that’s been a part, and supported this business in whatever way they did. I appreciate you. I hope you’re happy with what I’ve provided, I’m very grateful to be able to do this.

Take care of the people around you, and don’t forget to take care of yourself and make some time for reading and art.

To be on your own, with no direction home

Like a rolling pin
