I'm Justin, a jeansmaker based in Northampton MA. I make durable, carefully constructed clothing inspired by vintage workwear. Sewn exclusively on antique, foot-powered treadle sewing machines, the clothes I make mirror examples from the early 1900s. 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.
Many of the clothes I make are available on a made-to-order basis through direct message or the Shop tab. To place an order or for questions on price, lead time, or current available fabrics, send a message through the Contact tab. All garments and bags offered include lifetime repairs. I welcome visits to my studio in Northampton, MA. Please reach out with any additional questions!
