Tweed
Some stills from the first of a three part BBC documentary on the history and current status of the Harris Tweed industry.
Thornproofed
After soaking up as many tips I could from blogs, videos, and printed material from Thornproof I decided I was ready to take on the job of reproofing my Bedale. The jacket had gotten pretty dry and there were only a few noticeably ‘slick’ spots left so I decided it was about time to revive it.

Liberty Vintage
Liberty Vintage has been getting a lot of attention after Etsy released their beautifully filmed mini-doc last week. I spent a good deal of time there while I was helping run extra extra in it’s former home which was located in the same building as Liberty. First Friday openings generally coincided with vintage bike meets which made for a pretty unique experience. From the looks of it he’s been using the gallery as a video studio.

True Prep
My copy of True Prep that I was able to get signed by Chip Kidd last fall when he visited Philly to talk with Charles Burns. Bonus for you: I was able to make a tile image out of the excellent loafer end-paper which makes for great desktop wallpaper.
