The Anthology Knit Tee
A knit tee that looks like it came straight from the 1940’s but is totally wearable today. And all the proceeds even go to charity! What’s better than that?

As I continue to be more intentional in my buying (instead of buying random thrifts for the sake of tailoring), I’ve decided that my money could be better used on obtaining grails, both for wear and use in a bespoke reproduction. One of the first ones was the 1930’s brown SB patch pocket suit (with gorgeous lapels). This jacket was the next one.
