lucky lady
A very handsome boy I know took one look at this jacket and asked me to make a custom backpack for his girlfriend for Christmas. This jacket was given to me by a gentleman who acquired it in the ’60′s. His son has informed me that he was quite the stylish guy in his day, and that he happens to have been a good friend of Johnny Cash. I hope I’ve done him proud by reincarnating his jacket as a backpack. I threw in a few extra internal pockets and a custom laptop pocket in the organic cotton lining. I hope she loves it.
