Free & Easy - Indigo Dyeing
While packing for New York, I stumbled upon an old pair of vintage white bucks in my closet that had been buried away after spilling red wine on them at a party, (it was a late night.) As a natural born hoarder, I couldn't stand to toss 'em out, so in the midsts of brainstorming some way to reuse them I remembered this clipping from Free & Easy I had seen on Mister Crew a while back.
This morning I brought them into work and set them in a dye bath of Rit Denim Blue. I've never dyed shoes before so I'm pretty interested to see how they turn out once they dry. I'll try to post some pics when they're done.

Engineered Garments FW10
Sorry this is becoming somewhat of an RSS feed, but time has been against me as of late. Im sure you've probably seen this by now but this is one of my favorite images from EG's FW lookbook (I am so excited to see their more focused direction now that Suzuki has left Woolrich.)
Im really digging the single pocket detail on the waxed cotton shorts, and I can't get over the mechanics inspired jacket. I've been dreaming of one ever since Billy Reid put out a women's waxed leather mechanics jacket last fall.
