I wanted to see how the Utili-Pant would look after a cold soak soooooooo I went ahead and did just that and wadded them up for good measure.

So I made myself a pair of Stantons about 3 months ago.  I’ve been wearing them about 5 days a week since then.  These pics were taken about 2 months in. The denim is super dark so I took outdoor and indoor shots to try and capture the actual color and fading contrasts.

Here’s some specs -
Denim- 15oz Raw Japanese Selvage
Hand silk screened 8oz twill pocket bags
Pen pocket – hidden label in left back pocket

OUTDOOR SHOTS





INDOOR SHOTS

I came across this post on all plaidout and was really inspired by Alya’s story. It’s artisans like her that really drive me.

RT Pocket Square

Tuesday March 2, 2010 at 11:33 pm

I hemmed a pair of old-ass washed chambray pants today. With the excess fabric I thought I’d give a go at a chambray pocket square…this is what I came up with. I think the next one I’ll use off-white thread.

Inspired by Styka

Tuesday March 2, 2010 at 2:32 am

Adam Styka, born in Poland in 1890. He completed his formal education at the French Academy of Fine Arts, Academie de Beau Arts, and painted closely under the tutelage of his father, Jan Styka. Known as “the master of sunlight”. To me he is the master of the American West.
Ever since I can remember the Styka family’s art has been in my life. My great Grandmother was a patron of theirs commissioning two portraits and purchasing to my knowledge at least two original pieces of Adam Styka’s all of which my parents inherited. My parents were also big fans of the Syka’s work, they purchased four prints from Adam’s American Wild West collection. These are the pieces that I fell in love with. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent staring at those prints throughout the years. To a certain extent that collection inspired the name and feel of Rogue Territory. They all really resonated with me for some reason, especially his piece of an American Indian chief titled – Indian Chief / Wódz Indiański, Oraibi, Arizona, 1949.
My parents knew how much I loved those prints so they gave them to me to hang in my shop.

Here are a few pieces from his American Wild West collection. I apologize for the size of the images.
