Coming soon

Keep an eye out for my wristbands/bracelets to be released in the coming month or so. Each is handmade by me out of a variety of fabric combinations in any size you could possibly want. The idea is to combine the aesthetics and utilitarian aspects of traditional shirting and workwear in a portable form - think denim, canvas, oxford cloth, and some beautiful Japanese indigo-dyed cotton that I somehow managed to get my hands on.

Using the best fabrics that I can find, each is made to be worn as much as possible. Let it fade in the sun, wear it into the ocean, or go climb a mountain. They'll only get better with age, and will serve as a physical reminder of all of the shenanigans that you engaged in. I'll be selling them through an online store, or just find me around campus.

Put it on. Break it in. Wear it out.

Bracelets and Buttonholes

I've had a recent obsession with making a sturdy, comfortable, good-looking bracelet. Or wristband, if wearing a bracelet would offend your masculinity. After some dreadful attempts at going about this task, I've finally reached a basic design that I can live with.

Left: The old version. Right: The new, less-shitty version.

Other than the leather accent being improperly sized and the stitching being a little bit shoddy (the machine's fault, not mine. I swear), this one turned out significantly better.

I've added a lining to the bottom so that it feels softer on the wrist, and it also gives me the opportunity to mess with different patterns and colors to complement the actual body of the wristband.

Buttonholes have also been a fun thing to learn to do. I don't have a fancy machine that does it automatically for me, so I had to learn to do it the old-fashioned way.

Notice the failtastic one on the right, and how they clean up as time went on. Yay! Improvement!

I've been getting a surprising number of requests for these things, so once I really figure out what I'm doing, I believe that I'll be selling these in a variety of designs, colors, fabrics, and patterns. Keep an eye out.
