LAWLESS COLLECTION PART II








We live in desperate times once again my friends.
Like before, the bankers have screwed us over and left us to fend for ourselves. Soup kitchens are full to the brim, unemployment and crime high. 

Survive is all we can do. We weather the storms. We stay strong.

Sometimes we fight to survive and break the rules to make a buck. We are The Lawless

This collection is about survival, resourcefulness, and the sometimes hard ways in which we live. 

*Uppity linen waistcoat with handmade leather button.

*Loner oversize linen jacket with handmade leather buttons.

*Slinger vintage L-shaped leather belt.

*Military pup-tent pants.

*Stingray muscle T-shirt.

*Contraband 3-pocket vintage leather bag.

* Chinese packing-cloth scarf.

*Vintage fedora hat.

*Asylum leather cuff from vintage medical restraints.

*Boots by Fly London.
