hand-striped Tshirts are the result of an experiment to paint dye by hand directly onto a finished garment. Each one is individually painted and is unique. This Tshirt has been painted in black and purple stripes with logwood.
The Tshirt itself is made out of cotton interlock (thicker and more robust than single jersey), cut in one piece with no shoulder seam. This follows research into early Twentieth Century underwear and sportswear. By cutting in one piece there is no shoulder seam to rub against the skin, or stretch or fray. Also, as the folded shoulder line is horizontal, this cut gives slightly more room for the arm to move than a standard slope-shouldered cut.
To achieve a folded shoulder, the tube of fabric which is originally knitted first needs to be cut and spread out flat (as opposed to tubular Ts, a vintage staple). An advantage of cutting flat rather than tubular is that shape can be put in at the armpit, reducing the tension on the fabric under the arms, which can tear on tubular-cut Ts.
For the past several years the brother and sister partnership that is Jed & Marne™ has been collaborating with Mayan master weavers throughout the highlands of Guatemala. Raised by a mother and father who are themselves craftspeople, the siblings inherited an eye for handmade goods. Their perpetual hunt for quality and craft led them to the weaving of Guatemala, an artform that is truly brilliant in its construction and its composition. All of the fabrics Jed & Marne uses have been carefully curated, dyed by hand and woven on foot looms.

It’s the final prototype of the Schofield Blacklamp EDC 500 lumens torch. The Blacklamp watch will have one of these as its companion, sitting side by side in the mahogany box.
I have always loved perforated leather. These would make the best smart summer shoes.
The production of this exclusive product was inspired by William Gibson’s best selling novel - PATTERN RECOGNITION. A Black Buzz Rickson’s MA-1 Flying Jacket is the main character’s garment of choice. Although MA-1s were never actually produced in black by the US Military, the fictionalised version in this book was picked up by Buzz Rickson’s and a collaboration between themselves and Gibson made the garment a reality.
