Anybody know if there's an archive of drops somewhere? Seems like drop 7 to 9 are on the website, but looking for the really early stuff.

There's this link for everything on the website but I don't remember what was in each drop:


If by really early drops you're talking about the first 5 or so they're likely all long gone. Antonio had a holiday sale in 2018 or 2019 to get rid of old stock and he donated the remainder to Housing Works earlier this year. They still have the black vest in medium last time I checked. There was lots of fleece and some block print tees from the 1st drop.

It looks like stuff from recent drops that didn't sell well is taken down and sold in store now. It might be worth calling if you're looking for something specific. I got the Helly jacket that way and the sold out online patchwork Goreckis.

That vest is so dope. An insane deal at $35.

Has anyone washed their hand-loomed Sam yet? The tag was machine wash cold, tumble dry low, but I'm wondering if there was any noticeable shrinkage or change in the fabric?

Mine is a little scratchy if I wear it with a tee, not a big deal, but wondering if it might soften up in the wash.

So funny, I was just thinking about posting about this!

I cold-washed and air dryed, the latter of which took for-ev-er. I popped it in the dryer at low heat for about ten minutes to get the final drying done. My assessment is that I wouldn't say it shrunk, but it did tighten up a bit if you will. Reminds me a bit of how the goreckis will pucker and will wear like they have shrunk but, unless you actually do shrink them with a hot dry, it's more that the fabric puckers and wrinkles than the threads actually shrinking.

In my case, this was a welcome development for the Sam. It was a bit more jacket and less shirt-jacket due to the volume, but now it drapes a lot better on my body and is more shirt-jacket. In terms of length shrinkage, I'd say ever so slightly in the arms and length but more in the centimeter sense than the inch sense. Again, I think it's more about the fabric wrinkling/tightening rather than true shrinkage.
