Jacket weather is sneaking up on us. I know y’all feel it too. I’m not happy about it, trust me (I shiver like a chihuahua in winter), but our jackets need love too and their time has almost come🙌 #jacketappreciation . . . . . #patch #vintagejacket #vintage #streetwear #wearableart #repurposed #repurposedtextiles #sun #sunworship #gratitude #instafashion #instastyle #dremcleod #toolegittoquilt https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm3n1_SHgvf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wouevkihazm0

I’ve talked a little about pollution and waste produced by the clothing industry, and I just want to touch on the people who make those clothes. . . When buying new clothes, consider where they are produced. In places like Uzbekistan and India, child labor is prevalent, especially in the cotton industry. In countries like Cambodia and Bangladesh, workers are exposed to dangerous conditions, made to work long hours with no breaks, and must participate in forced overtime, all while earning wages that can barely feed themselves and their families. Women make up most of the workforce in the clothing industry overseas and many are subject to sexual harassment and violence. These women need to work to support their families, and it is up to the brands who choose to have their clothing produced in these factories to hold them accountable for how the workers are treated. I encourage you to consider your favorite brands and do some research on where they have their clothes made. Ask them “who made my clothes”? Some brands are very transparent about which factories produce their garments. There are many hands involved in creating a garment, and they all deserve respect and a safe workplace just like the rest of us! . . . . #whomademyclothes #slowfashion #fashionrevolution https://www.instagram.com/p/BmvlZU0HR1D/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d5gu06fpid3y

The Abhaya Mudra, a Mudra of fearlessness. The fabrics on this one are drool-worthy and allude to a special collection I’ve been marinating on for a while. Hopefully I will have time to work on it soon, I just don’t want to push myself too hard...I want it to come to life when it’s ready to! . . . . #abhaya #mudra #fearless #fearlessness #boom #hand #eye #patch #repurposed #repurposedtextiles #streetwear #wearableart #wearyourpower #slowfashion #fashionrevolution https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmlg47EHiYO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1x09yi1a3u12e

Style is a form of expression. We show the world who we are with what we choose to wear. Express yourself🙌🏾. . . 📷:::: @_bangi . . . #expressyourself #wearyourpower #wearableart #streetwear #repurposedtextiles #vintagedenim #venusflytrap #carnivorousplants #instastyle #instafashion #dremcleod #toolegittoquilt https://www.instagram.com/p/BmgiOEZn2w7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uaj8xz6v5rvj

One of my favorite Percy details is his mullet. His nasty mouth is pretty special, but I just really love that mullet. . . . . #demon #patch #patchgame #repurposedtextiles #slowfashion #fashionrevolution #streetwear #wearyourpower #wearableart #instafashion #vintage #devil #demons #dremcleod #toolegittoquilt

For me the Eye is a symbol of self, and of vision and direction (something I have been reflecting on a lot lately). I think it’s important to check in with ourselves frequently...to re-evaluate our intentions, ideas, and direction. I keep a journal with notes upon notes, clarifying my vision, and focusing in on what I’m working towards, who I want to be, and what I want to manifest. How do you guys check in with yourselves? . . . . #Eye #patch #patchgame #allseeingeye #vision #direction #streetwear #wearableart #wearyourpower #manifest #repurposedtextiles #slowfashion #fashionrevolution
