Reflections from the Saints

"Not the goods of the world, but God. Not riches, but God. Not honors, but God. Not distinction, but God. Not dignities, but God. Not advancement, but God. God always and in everything."


– St. Vincent Pallotti

Mister Freedom

These jackets have it all:

stripes

linen

the buttons

the read thread in one piece

the clothing tags

the hang tags



the jackets on the left in the one

they like their jackets tighter than I do

did they hit puberty on the street?


the labels

the hang tags

makes me want to create a logo to have made into a stamp

Reflections from the Saints

great ideas for packaging for any occasion
