I’m with the Band
The Last Stand Jacket was fun to design. It was a “what if George A. Custer” crossed with “deconstruction” at the Battle of Little Big Horn, but was given the orders to “play nice, be free”.

Double D Ranch's 'Last Stand' Jacket
Well, what came out of that creative process was Double D Ranch’s ‘Last Stand Jacket’. A funky mix of vintage, militaria inspiration, mis-matched military buttons (as if you had to do a quick mend on the battlefield), patriotic musings (In God We Trust), and exaggerated mending stitches all melded to give this jacket automatic backstage entre´.

The ‘Last Stand Tee’ has all the same great styling and as well as its own “I’m with the band” clout. Both are really fun, would you agree?

btw:
While I’m on military styling, there is a superb military auction starting tomorrow. If you are a collector or a lover of militaria (I am) be sure to check out Cowan’s 2009 Firearm & Militaria Auction starting this Wednesday thru Thursday. I’ll be watching lot #65, a shell jacket worn at the battle of Gettysburg by soldier, Henry H. Stone. This wonderful piece of our American history has survived five battle engagements, including a battle wound, and comes with impeccable documentation and war weary history. It is estimated to fetch somewhere between $40,000 to $50,000. At that price, I will most definitely be “watching” and keeping my paddle down!

I love my Last Stand Jacket! The details are incredible. The patches are cool and the free form embroidery stitches are just my style. You’re doing a great job on your blog. A very enjoyable read.
