JOHN SHEEP ago filo e ingegno
Ago, filo e ingegno da sopravvivenza tutto Italiano nel trans-vintage che John Sheep riversa nella sua ultima creazione: la giacca felpa in cotone rigorosamente con taschino a destra, anche in omaggio a un indossato bisex, vezzoso quanto ambito.Miracolo a Londra di un pugliese, sempre lì a frugare nei cassettoni della nonna. Lì dentro ha trovato la cosa, la naftalinata giacca del nonno che la sua Carmela gli aveva rimesso a nuovo semplicemente "rivoltandogliela": il rovescio meno consumato del tessuto interno, fuori, la strapazzata e lisa faccia esterna, retrocessa all'interno. E il taschino, nato sul cuore, cucito su quel quarto di giacca rivoltato, sloggiato a destra.Amore e necessità possono tutto, farsi addirittura look Terzo Millennio.

Stewart
Il marchio Stewart è prodotto da Scettro srl, azienda industriale fondata nel 1975 in Val d’Arno zona ove la lavorazione della pelle ha tradizioni molto antiche.
Per la realizzazione dei capi Stewart sono impegnati una serie di professionisti di diversi settori (stile, scelta, selezione, trattamenti…).
Dette persone hanno come punto di riferimento un archivio aziendale di circa 10.000 pezzi selezionati in oltre 30 anni di ricerca e che rappresenta una sintesi molto importante dello stile dei giubbotti in pelle dal 1900 ad oggi.
Grazie a ciò una piccola parte del campionario è dedicata alla riproduzione fedele delle giacche usate dai piloti americani, inglesi, motociclisti tedeschi durante la II° guerra mondiale.
La scelta della materia prima e la realizzazione dei capi avvengono con le stesse tecniche e gli stessi criteri di 50 anni fa.
Le lavorazioni dei giubbotti sono eseguite in maniera artigianale (made in italy) con i più diversi materiali (dal cuoio di cavallo alla pelle da guanteria, nonché bufali, capre ecc….)
Indian Trading Blanket History
To a native Oregonian, there are few company names that inspire as much confidence and pride as Pendleton Woolen Mills. For six generations, the Bishop family has owned and operated a company that consistently produces woolens of incredible beauty and quality.
From the 1909 purchase of a scouring mill at the railhead along the Oregon Trail in Pendleton, Oregon, through lean years during the Great Depression and the war years when the company produced blankets for the military, to the present time, the Bishop family has produced Indian blankets, robes and shawls which are highly prized by much of the Native American population.
One of the reasons for the popularity of these products is the care taken by the pattern designers to learn about the native mythologies and design preferences of their customers. In the earliest years, Joe Rawnsley, who was considered a gifted talent on the jacquard loom, spent time with the local natives of northeastern Oregon to develop preferences of color and design (we now call this "market research"). He would then interpret the ideas gleaned from the native peoples into blanket designs using modern technologies that could express pattern ideas in much greater detail and in more vivid coloration's than could be expressed by traditional weaving methods.
With the success of these first designs, Mr. Rawnsley spent six months in the native Southwest developing ideas for designs which might specifically appeal to the tribes of this region. He returned with hundreds of designs to be interpreted into his weaving processes.
In pre-Columbus North America, blankets were made from hides or pelts of smaller animals which had been sewn together or woven from wool, feathers, down, bark and cotton and, in some areas, shredded cedar bark. When the Europeans came to this country and bartered with the native peoples, wool blankets had great value in trading and the brighter the better. Most of the earlier trading blankets were plaids and block designs like the traditional Hudson's Bay blankets. Jacquard loomed Pendleton Indian blankets with their brilliant colors and sharp details became very popular after their introduction into what was known as the "Indian trade".
Car loads of blankets traveled from Pendleton, Oregon to the Southwest tribes to be exchanged for silver jewelry, wool or other items of value. The colorful blankets were integrated into everyday and ceremonial uses; part of a dowry, weddings, gift giving, pow wows, dance prizes, naming ceremonies, funerals and memorials (sometimes blankets are packed in a coffin or a coffin is lined with a blanket to keep the loved one warm on his journey).
The value of the blanket is practical from an economic standpoint. For a time, there were two things acquired by young people for security in case of economic hardship; a Bulova watch for a man and a good blanket for a woman; either one of which could be pawned for a fair amount of money to tide them over to better times. Rarely did the owner not return to reclaim the blanket as soon as possible.
During the past 25 years, Pendleton Woolen Mills has developed a series of Legendary blankets which are based on the beliefs and traditions of their original and most valued customers.

Filson Travelling Bag
The manufacturer states that if the carrier is strong enough to carry something, so is the bag. It's made of the same sturdy, water-resistant material and tough leather as the notebook- and brief-case you can see in the illustration alongside . The roomy interior, without compartments, holds plenty of luggage, and there are two smaller pockets, one at each end, to hold smaller things. There are ten different positions for the shoulder strap. Width 60 cm, height 35 cm, depth 31 cm. Weight 1.9 kg.
Might as well have the best
C.C Filson Co – since 1897.
Clinton C. Filson, based in Seattle, used the great Klondike gold rush as an opportunity to provide equipment for the gold-diggers streaming up north. The latter is history, but Filsons are still going strong – in addition to sturdy all-weather and leisure clothing, they also make these bags – which are not only good-looking, but will put up with the roughest treatment. The body is made of extra-dense cotton of heavy industrial quality (weight 623 g/sq.m.).The cloth is soaked in a special wax with paraffin base to make it water-resistant. The tough leather is cut from the strongest cow-hide and naturally tanned to enable it to stand up to hard treatment. The bags are still made in Seattle with American cotton and leather.
