Edition 001

4 pieces

Most of Edition 001 is still in prototype. The Manners Destroyed Dickies OG is ready now. Ask about anything. We write back within a couple of days.

Every piece starts as a garment someone else made: Dickies work pants, a Regalia ringer, a heavyweight crewneck, a snapback. We wash it, fade it and work it over by hand. The original is named under each piece.

Everyone left. The table stayed.

No two come out the same, so each piece page lists exactly what was done to that one. The field notes are where the ideas come from.
