Some people see it as craziness! I see it as a protest. Some people just don’t care. Finally I got my buttonholes made into my C2 Denim Jacket! Yes! They were made by hand of course.
So what’s the difference in machine vs. man? And why do I do it? And finally, what’s the protest all about? Well, let’s break it down, and I’ll try to give you some answers.
The Ice-Wash Jacket C2, my new favorite! How was that done? Here are some highlights below! Enjoy! (Remember that all these clothes can be ordered in your size, or, learned how to make yourself. Please contact Alexander@StenMartin.com for more info.)
New items in! Adding the Ice-Wash Denim Jacket and the Basic White T-shirt to the Thousand Days Of Hope And Glory project. I call them C2 and A5.
Both just made, this t-shirt has a relaxed fit, short sleeves an a rather old-school neckline. A kind-of anachronistic look, mixing 1980’s a bit naive clean-cut fresh look (neckline, fresh white, properly made and oversized) with a mid 2010’s deconstructed relaxed feel (narrow shoulders, small sleeves, drape over torso).
I always wanted to make things kind of right. You know, the proper way – effective, resilient and good – even starting from an early age. But back then, it could be difficult to find proper info on how to make things that was just slightly out of the ordinary, growing up in a small Swedish village back in the good old 1970’s. Today, you’d think that finding such information would have become much easier with all the info floating around. But no. Not really.
Deadlines! Having a slight fever. A bit tired. Lagging behind. Feeling a little blue… what to do?
Maybe if I add one of the other ingredients, the cake will bake much better? If I head over in one of the other categories I could possibly save myself some time due to the combination possibilities? Let’s try that!
