DIY: Chevron Studded Jacket

It’s kind of funny how some projects work out. The alternating dome and pyramid studs on this jacket wasn’t my original plan — but I’m so glad it became a plan. I actually didn’t have enough of either style to make 5 rows on both sleeves. But then I thought, why not combine the two? I think …

Stetson DIY: Leather Trim Denim Shirt

A couple weeks ago, I stopped by the Stetson showroom on 38th in NYC. I absolutely loved how much vintage Stetson pieces were used as a decor, and in the archives. Everything from notes from past meetings to preserved hats to matchbooks. Thanks to the rad Daryl at Stetson, I was able to create a …

DIY: Dip-Dyed Flannel Shirt

Quick, easy, and can be done in an afternoon. I used a thrifted mens’ flannel (by Gap and purchased from Goodwill for a few bucks) and teal dye. Of course, you can use any color you’d like. This would work better with a plaid shirt that has white incorporated into the print, in order to …
