Smiley Caps by Jaime Wong.
Our friend Jaime Wong, owner of bicoastal vintage shop Raggedy Threads, has been teaching herself chainstitch embroidery over the past year or so. Last winter, she made a few watch caps with hand-embroidered smiley faces sewn in and gave them out to friends and we loved how they turned out. As we all have a bit more time on our hands these days, we asked Jaime to embellish a few of our herringbone twill 6-panel caps with different smiley arrangements. She's spent the past two weeks working on 24 caps and putting a distinct design onto each one and we'll be releasing them tomorrow. Each one is unique: half of the caps have one large smiley face in the front and center, and the other half feature a few smaller smileys on the side. You can choose the flavor you prefer on checkout. (By the way - if you haven't yet had a chance to read our feature interview with Jaime on our editorial site, Singularities, now is a great time to do it.)
Hand-embroidered Smiley Caps will retail for $65 and will release at noon EDT on Friday, May 22nd on 3sixteen.com.
