Natural indigo dyed bandanna from R by 45rpm

 

Thought I’d add another natural indigo dyed bandanna from R by 45rpm, a bit lighter than the 1st

i'm still tossing up whether i should frame this shunga or just hang it with bulldog clips:

i have a stupid amount of totes, so i knot this other kapital one to the handle of whichever bag i'm currently using (hence the insane creasing + distorted shape):

the only other bandana i own is a brown paisley by beams which i use on a patagonia blackout while traveling. no pic because it's currently at my parents' house.

Warehouse - one of the 2 indigo-dyed from this year’s collection. Interestingly, not exactly square. Also, fairly hefty at 35g.

 

[JDelage]

Just got those two from Portland, Oregon. They're made by a store called Kiriko, which is clearly inspired by Jpz design elements. I like the color change from the usual blue / red... They're 26g and 28g.

Quick question @JDelage, what do you use all your bandanas for? Just curious

I use them as face masks, gangster-style, when I go out and I find I need to have a number in rotation to be able to always have clean ones. I'm also experimenting wearing them just for fun, but not quite sure I can pull it off like https://www.instagram.com/banditphotographer/ . Missing the beard and the 425lbs deadlift max...

They're endearing collectible tidbits, I have to say.

I have a few more coming...

I've actually been thinking about doing the same, but I just can't find my old ones from my snowboarding days.

[lophophora]

All kapital, two different “lucky max” peter max bootlegs and two selvedge fast color.

So, this little outfit in Japan is doing lovely work:

I don't know much more than what's on their IG. I wanted to place an order, but with the current situation of the int'l shipping, I'm hesitating. Here are a few examples of their work:

I love that Smiley Mt Fuji @lophophora i would probably have to frame it... which brings me around to, what do you guys use your bandanas for? they all look pristine, like they're folded up in a drawer, mine tend to look like this..

.. creased to f**k and covered in stains from where ive wiped my hands on them, indigo dye from when they've been stuffed in a pocket..

...is it just something else to consume/collect or do you have a use for them?

Edit- Just noticed that @Thanks_M8 has already asked the same question.. Woops!

I just started using mines, so they're still basically new.

[Broark]

I stick in the back pocket of my jeans during the summer to use for wiping away sweat.
Or lately I've been using them as a mask.

[lophophora]

typically used to keep my hair out of my face when i am out climbing- as of late, they’re on mask duty as well. stuffed with coffee filters

[Maynard Friedman]

All freebies and unused but may start using them as masks. I’ve always fancied tying them around my neck cowboy-style  but would feel a bit self-conscious about it. I suppose if you don’t usually do it, then people notice and draw attention to it and you feel a bit silly! Just have to brass(or bandana)-neck it out I suppose...

[Double 0 Soul]

Yeah mine have all been freebies, ive always worn them like @lophophora to keep the hair out of my face while out hopping over boulders

..or as you say 'cowboy style' usually to keep the cold wind blowing down my neck in winter while out hiking..  i'm not a a scarf kinda dude, save those things for Dr Who.

Made a paved patio last summer when it was really blazing hot. Dipped the bandana in cold water and wore it cowboy style which worked a treat keeping my temp down. Otherwise I nearly never wear mine.
Anyways, here are some of my faves:

 

[JDelage]

Those are lovely, especially the top one.

[JDelage]

This one is made by The North Face’s Purple Label, which is apparently a MiJ sub-brand. I knew nothing about it but I found the design & color lovely so I looked around to find it, in Japan eventually. It was delivered today by DHL, which has been consistently good for me.

Separated at birth?

[Double 0 Soul]

I don't even know who my long lost brother is

...but clearly, i got the breaks

[Maynard Friedman]

He’s the hero and all-round good guy from the wrong side of the tracks - Daryl from the Walking Dead.

Ive never seen Walking Dead, although i did read all the graphic novels years before.

The purple label is the collaboration line between North Face & Jp label Nanamica, the line is only sold in Japan.

Lovely graphics.

2 from 45rpm:

2nd is one of my favorite (depicting the 12 Chinese zodiac), even though the edge curls up quite abit from wear & wash...

[Maynard Friedman]

Here’s another freebie I just remembered that I gave to my son
