I’m pretty much in denial that this weather is happening right now. I’m just going to go on believing that these are the last days of spring and first days of summer, and that they’re just so, so beautiful.

This was co-designed with Nathan Carlson of Foundation Garments (2712 NE Alberta), where it is stocked exclusively.
