We were always hunting for treasures—at auctions, estate sales, or rummaging through old, abandoned farmhouses along the Missouri River bottoms. I caught the trash-to-treasure bug before I even turned 10, and by 13, I had an extensive quilt collection. My love for old fabric and textiles started early and has only grown deeper over the years. These days, vintage fabric makes up the bulk of the junk I collect. They say you either have an eye for it or you don’t—and I can spot good junk from a mile away.

The shirts released here are incredibly special, made from real vintage fabric I’ve been lucky enough to find throughout the years. The quality of vintage materials far surpasses most modern fabric and printing techniques. Printing fabric was expensive—especially with multiple colors—and all of it was done by hand, long before computers, Photoshop, or iPads. Each print was carefully designed, with every color requiring its own screen. The result is rich, detailed, and truly reflective of another era. I hope you love these pieces and appreciate the quality and craftsmanship as much as I do.
