Been away too long from updating the blog page. We’ve gone from bandanas, to tees, to all sorts of accessories, and a button up camp shirt. But a jacket has always been something I’ve wanted to do. Being a small one person brand with a limited budget, it takes a lot money and additional steps to making apparel. Having 15 years of experience in the fashion industry does help with sourcing, pattern making and knowing exactly what I want to create. The Uprock Coach Jacket is a collection of all that experience that I look forward to share with you. Here’s a few photos of the process to making the Uprock Coach Jacket. More about the inspiration behind it on...
Launching today 9/6 the Rhythm & Cycles Ring and Bandana Holder. It's an idea I had since last year but that didn't really manifest itself until around New Years Eve 2017 to early Jan 2018. I had seen a lot of other woggles (that's the legit bandana holder term FYI) but wanted something to go with the bandana that doubled as a ring I could wear without it too. I drew the design with the idea of a wrapped around paisley because when I think of bandanas I think paisleys naturally. And from there I started to dig deeper into the history of the design. The design spans it's inspiration from as far east as India, to the Middle East (Where's it's called a Boteh meaning a...
Sorry for the dust bowl silence between launch and the second blog post. It's been hard trying to manage a full time gig and trying to create something I feel that's missing in the market currently. Good news though Plinth & Scratch logo pins are i̶n̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶d̶u̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶w̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶c̶o̶m̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶2̶-̶3̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶e̶ ̶w̶e̶e̶k̶s̶ now actually available on the website. (Got delayed on this post too :/) But let's get down to what Plinth & Scratch is really about as promised in the first blog post...deep breath...exhale.... Plinth & Scratch is the amalgamation of all my experience in the fashion industry and music (on the listening, standing, seated, dancing, jamming out at the 9-5 and collecting records level.)...
It's finally open! Thank you to all of you that have helped, supported early, and waited patiently as I fumbled my way through starting this new journey. It's been a learning curve developing the product and getting it to a platform to showcase and sell it. But I'm glad whoever is still here to buy a bandana and rock it to bare thread. So a little story about Plinth & Scratch is in order, since people have been probably seeing all those epic photos on Instagram. (If you haven't...well you should @plinthandscratch.) It all started with music...well specially vinyl records, vintage hi-fi, and dance. I also had a big year of going to concerts throughout 2014 to now. All those experiences along with...
