SAMUEL ZELIG - ANTIQUE HOODIE

Within the imagined world combines elements that aren’t the most obvious combination, but that work together even in their strange contrast. A perfect example of this is an antique store. Filled with miscellaneous objects of people's memories and past lives, soon to be discovered and collected by someone they will never know. Each item is different from the next, yet they all seamlessly exist in this space. This group sourced from varieties of antiques - and then illustrated and embroidered. They follow a cohesive color scheme, but each object is distinctly different. To give this collection another focal point and tie it all together, a series of machine automated repairs were created that give the garments a more lived in feel.  The repairs feature tonal stitching on organic shaped patches, commonly found on vintage workwear. They all follow placement where distressing on a garment would naturally occur over time.

Featuring: 15 oz loopback heavyweight cotton french terry, standard set-in sleeves, bar tacks at kangaroo pocket, flatlock seam construction, and jersey applique repairs.

This garment has undergone a vintage wash and dye to remove all shrinkage and give it a unique sun-faded look.

Model wears a large, measuring 6’1" and 140 lbs.
