Bespoke Heirlooms

---

Codie now wears his dad's overalls when he chops wood. But he wears them as a handsome yet practical Lumberjack Vest.

Codie had held onto some overalls after his father died. They were of very little use to Codie or his family but too precious to donate to charity. What to do with such precious nostalgia? 

Pete and Codie decided that a Lumberjack vest would suit Codie's day-to-day life and what better fabric to use than his father's overalls. Pete included Ken's nickname on the collar and other features of the original overalls

Dan's dad had several suit jackets when he died and now Dan wears one, reimagined as a waistcoat, when he plays gigs.

Dan couldn't wear his dad's old jackets but by having Pete convert one into a waistcoat Dan feels his father is with him, supporting his music.

By utilising the existing shape and features of the original jacket Pete created a truly unique piece of wearable and sentimental art.

Shannon had a favourite old top that was damaged during ironing. Disaster! However, with careful cutting Pete was able to give the top a new life lining a cap. The outer fabric is Scottish tartan that suits a wintery Melbourne evening while Shannon knows that inside is her favourite old top, out and about again!

Lily's loves her grandfather and he lives in America so Lily's thoughtful mother had Pete make her a Bespoke Heirloom.

A favourite old shirt of grandpa's was brought back from a recent visit and given to Pete. 

This cape is made from durable yet fashionable cotton canvas and is lined in Grandpa's shirt. It features button closure, arm openings and external patch pockets. This sort of design allows Lily to wear the cape for many years to come and remember her grandpa whenever she does.
