About

I'm Justin, a clothing maker based in Northampton MA. I make durable, carefully constructed clothing inspired by vintage workwear. I sew on antique, foot-powered treadle sewing machines and use techniques available to domestic seamstresses in post-war America. I'm driven by the idea that my grandmother, April, and greatgrandmother, Valdah, would've had access to the same machines and techniques I use.

I'm able to recreate anything you see on the website to your measurements. For questions on price, lead time, or current available fabrics, send a message through the Contact tab. Both pants and jackets start at 400, including lifetime repairs. I welcome visits to my studio in Northampton, MA. Please reach out with any additional questions!
