Wallace & Barnes

Couple weeks ago while browsing through J.Crew, I found this Wallace & Barnes collection, and i really dig the Arrow Shirt & the Wayland Denim Tote Bag. Read the details below.


"A new collection of old favorites, built using the foundations of traditional workwear, vintage military uniforms and classic outdoor gear as our guide. We borrowed this print from a vintage bandana our menswear designer scored during a trip to a Montana dude ranch, then recast it in Big Sky-inspired indigo-like blues. To achieve maximum softness and bring out its workhorse roots, each shirt is subjected to two hours of stonewashing, then topped off with hardy Corozo buttons (derived from a palm plant and renowned for their durability and ivory-like look)."


"Using the same design as the Wayland canvas tote, we thought why not make one using our ultra-sturdy Japanese selvedge denim. A bit more nautically inspired than the canvas tote, it calls to mind seamen's ditty bags from the '40s. With contrast stitching and plenty of room for a day's leave, this carryall is handmade in L.A. one at a time with obsessive attention to detail and craftsmanship. A truly heirloom-quality bag you'll only find at Wallace & Barnes. Japanese selvedge denim with exposed selvedge along top interior band. Heavy canvas drop handles. Tactical black Scovill snap closure. Tiered interior wall patch pocket. Exterior Scovill snap closure pockets on side panels. Leather reinforcement at hardware. Twill taped interior seams. USA. 9 1/2" handle drop."
