THE BEST IS YET TO COME...

For the past few months, I've been picking the French countryside, trying to find one of a kind garments, old and dusty workwear and survivor indigo goods.

I've found some amazing pieces but the mission wasn't that easy as good antique clothing and workwear become really hard to find.

I hope you will enjoy the barn fresh result in the next coming days...

Best,

Tom
