Field Notes

From the shop

Short notes on the artwork, the blanks and the run. No filler — we write when there's something worth saying.

Artwork

Drawing the marsh circle

The circle print started as a single pen study of still water at legal light — cattails first, then the flight line, then the ring of lettering that holds it all together. It took eleven passes before the ducks sat right on the water instead of floating above it.

Production

Why heavyweight blanks

Thin cotton curls at the hem and lets the print crack. We picked 260 GSM tees and 450–500 GSM fleece so the graphic sits flat, the shoulder holds shape, and the piece is still worth wearing three seasons in.

The run

What a founding drop actually means

One hundred pieces, four designs, printed once. We take requests first so we print what people actually want in the sizes they actually wear — instead of guessing and burying the leftovers in a storage unit.

One email when a drop opens or a new piece hits the table. Nothing else.
