Black Hoodie with Cowboy Shirt Yoke and hand stitched patches
 
‘Stars and Stripes’ (incredible cowboy/country brand very popular in Germany) from a German ‘Amerikan Style’ store spliced together with a charity shop hoodie in country-crust style. Graphics form the hoodie were removed and replaced with a sweatshirt fabric patchwork to keep the colours consistent, the shirt was crusted up and stitched down by the zip and at the yoke, with added bits of flair through many hand stitched patches and machine stitched ones too - including a digitally printed ‘hooligan patch’. Smiley pockets common in cowboy shirts turned into smiley faces by blasting some smily faces eyes on with the industrial machine. Hood has the embroidery copied roughly on one side in freehand machine embroidery, on the other in appliquéd deadstock poplin. Perfect for a real rockabilly rodeo!

Materials - cotton cowboy shirt with polyester embroidery, cotton/poly mix hoodie, cotton herringbone tape, deadstock poplin and polyester thread 
 
Machine wash 40/cotton with like colours. I would generally avoid higher temperatures unless removing stains. Tumble drying will cause fabric to fray more, which I personally like but it can be a faf.
