Restock - Chester Wallace Totes

Our friend Patrick Long designed his Chester Wallace tote with all the features of a great bag: a six-pack fits in the bottom, you can carry it with the removable shoulder strap or by the tote handles, and there are enough pockets of all sizes to keep everyone happy.

Our current, custom Chester Wallace Tote offerings come in two fabrics: dry finish cotton duck and waxed cotton canvas. Quality materials ensure that your bag is bound to last a lifetime.  Features include a waterproof bottom, nylon webbing, and nickel hardware.

Current colorways include natural/camo, evergreen/navy and gray/brow

Archival Restock: Chester Wallace Totes

For December, we're adding a new Chester Wallace tote the AC web shop. The colorway is evergreen and navy with a flash of yellow. Body and base are made from #10, vat dyed, government spec'd waxed cotton. While I had originally requested a green and black combination, Patrick, the bag's designer, suggested olive with a navy base. In his words, "the green was more with the navy than with black in an Albers way".

We're also adding replacement Chester Wallace straps to the AC web shop so you can mix and match colorways at home.

Portland Field Trip

I (Tom) took a quick solo trip up to Portland yesterday to run some Archival errands. All is well with our suppliers. I was thrilled to catch the hat machine at Columbiaknit spinning merrily away.

We're working on quite a few new projects with Columbiaknit, including a classic Rugby shirt.

Another delightful lunch with friend Patrick of Chester Wallace

A quick stop at one of our retailers, Woodlands

I picked up some inventory from the former Winn Perry, including these great Cooperstown Cap Company Portland Beavers and Seattle Rainers hats, coming soon to our store.

A far-away project....
