Treasures from the Fashion Collection at The Willing Mind. By exclusive arrangement with The Grand Review.
Print size 14 x 24, and consciously formatted to work with a 14 x 24 frame, or custom framed as you see fit. For further easy, inexpensive framing options, please feel free to contact us.
One of the earliest photographs I've ever seen of antique Levi's jeans in situ, if you will. This hardy working man is simply yet handsomely turned out in his work duds. Levi's jeans that'll take a beating. A raw shearling vest and my favorite, a VERY early Stormy Kromer winter cap, crown popped up full rise! I've worn a more modestly crowned Stormy Kromer proudly for a dozen years whenever the weather is cold enough. They are still made in the US, though I don't know if they're actually made in Ironwood, Michigan these days.
A little genealogical research places this fellow in the Upper Mid West / Great Lakes region, and the date cannot be before 1903, because Stormy's hats didn't appear before then.
All that said. style wise this fellow is remarkably nowsville and could be the brew master in any of dozens of micro breweries across the US and Canada!

A NOTE ON OUR PROCESS, OUR CHOICES AND THE QUALITY OF THE GRAPHIC CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT GOES INTO OUR PRINTS.
Every print we deem exciting enough to present to the public via our Etsy store or available here at our studio has gone through a number of steps. The first of those is always discovering and falling in love with an obscure image, always an original that we can hold in our hands. That image is speaking to us, sometime screaming “Don’t leave me here. See what I am, what I was, what I can be, what I SHOULD be!”
There is a real sense of excitement involved, and a great many smiles and knowing grins when we make that deal and bring that ancient print, that battered photo, that scrap of ephemera that contains some scrap of genius from an unknown commercial artist home with us, knowing already how we mean to approach its restoration.
There is the heady promise of a further hunt just as real as what drags a weekend fisherman out of bed at 3AM to work a favorite brook as we start our research, looking for that great backstory, and both ready and willing to tumble down as many rabbit holes as are revealed to us to get that story.
Then there is a meticulous digital restoration that is as often as much fun as riding a vintage Moto Guzzi on a winding coastal road. I don’t care if that sounds crazy, it really is like jumping in the saddle! So many choices, so many chances to take to subtly or spectacularly give new life to otherwise permanently obscure images.
This dedication and the ongoing rush of joy in the accomplishment of it, and the opportunity to share the results in our studio and here on Etsy, is the fire of passion that keeps these engines roaring. We make every effort to ensure our customers are not just satisfied but thrilled, and we happily stand 100% behind our work.
