This addition to my GroundControl clothing collections has spent a long time in development. TechArtisans were a daydream of mine in the winter of 07/08. During the summer of 08 I put scissors to paper. I finally stitched together a prototype in the early fall of 08. I perfected my size in time to show a few pairs at the Code Mode market/exhibition in April 09. Custom sizes for men are now available(measurements). I am continuing to work on adjusting the pattern for women as well. Check out the more detailed photos and descriptions in the linked photo essay.
KVIFF is the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. It is by far the largest and most popular film festival in the Czech republic. KVIFF has an excellent reputation for attracting many of the worlds best films and a crowed of film enthusiasts less concerned with the pomp and pretensions that can accompany some more famous festivals. My wife Katka and I traveled there together for the first time this year and had an excellent time. With the festival crawling with media, it was also an excellent opportunity to photograph a collection of shorts.
Yes, the suit is my design and Katka has a dress from Iva Belikova. It took Iva’s expertise to actually make my jacket design happen but of course I take credit for the pants. My good friend Kurt Vinion took the very professional photos. Check out his other work on his wedding blog. We had a great time thanks to all our friends who helped make it happen. You can see more wedding pictures from Kurt, my dad, Petra and Alex. If you have pictures to add, email me a link and I will add it here. But first, check out the captioned album I created of the day’s events!
Here is a design I developed last fall and have sold mostly to Ultimate players at tournaments earlier this winter. I’m calling them UltimateTrousers for now. Here you can see the prototype I made for myself. You will not find them in the online shop but you can contact me directly via email if you want to place an order. I need your measurements so if you are interested, you will need to go to the measurements page of the shop or set up a meeting with me in person to place an order. You can see more pictures in the essay I put together as a follow up to this post.
