A few months ago, I reached out on here looking for recommendations for a custom chain stitched jacket for my husband‘s birthday. isthefruitstillgood recommended Tattoo’d Cloth to me, and I am now passing along the recommendation!
He was super easy to work with and did this in a short amount of time. USPS lost the package for a month and it just now got to us, which I am very grateful for and it is perfect timing with the changing of the weather. He is located in Brooklyn, so if you are in the area, check him out! He’s always doing an events and stuff.

Sometimes you’re lucky enough to stumble upon something great entirely by accident and at exactly the right time. This is how I feel about Tony Shirtmakers. Tony is a one man powerhouse who designs and makes (mostly custom) shirts & shirt jackets out of his home / studio in Maine. I am impatiently awaiting a beautiful brown-olive shirt jacket I commissioned a few weeks ago that should arrive right around the time this newsletter drops. Tony also just launched a small collection ready-to-wear at No Man Walks Alone — grab a top before they’re all gone!

With no shadow of a doubt, my favorite place to shop for vintage online. Ian Reid is an excellent curator and ever since one of my best friends recommended Handbook to me a couple years ago, my closet is now home to a good amount of awesome vintage tees, button-ups, and knits. Still waiting on the right pairs of pants!
My only complaints are that pricing can be a little bit on the higher end for vintage depending on the item, but I wouldn't call it unreasonable. I could also just have brain worms from being into fashion.... Oh and Handbook does take a while to ship. Besides that, I'm always keeping an eye out for what they find!
Look out for new drops every Thursday 4PM PST. You can also follow their insta and check out previews for what will be available that week. If you see something really cool though, you'll have to act fast once the sale is live as it can be a mad dash for everyone looking to cop what they want

This has become the norm and every day I grow more disturbed. I understand if somebody is behaving in a harmful way, that is good to document and put out there. But as a whole, it seems, we have become so comfortable with recording people just living their lives. I saw a video of a guy working and the caption of the video was that he was so hot, we needed to find him!!! Why are you providing the Internet with his face and location instead of just going up to talk to him? I saw another of two people on the subway, seemingly a couple, having a very emotional moment. How would you feel if you open up an app and saw a video like that of yourself? I don’t like this level of sibling society surveillance. Why are you videoing an elderly person with sad music dubbed over it to gain likes? It is WEIRD. Don’t even get me started on videos of children. It is WEIRD to use a stranger without their consent to get some kind of fake validation. Get a life.
I don’t mean to come on here and share something so negative, I just don’t have anywhere else to put it and it’s gnawing at me.
