Sustainably Sourced #1

Welcome to Sustainably Sourced! I decided to take my favorite activity, vintage hunting (now limited to the web), and create a new column. I’ve invited my friends to curate selections of their saves.

I asked New York City-based art director Walker Tovin (@walkertovin) to share some of the vintage pieces he’s been eyeing.

Walker’s Picks

1960's/70's Green Baseball Uniform

In the spring I’m all for a layered jacket over a tank and this short sleeve baseball zip up is completely perfect! Available on Etsy

1951 Yale Striped T-Shirt

I love striped shirts, I LOVE vintage t-shirts, so this is without a doubt perfect. Available on Etsy

1940's Medium Dyed Sailor Cap

I once came across a photo of a girl wearing a sailors cap upside down, something about it stuck with me. This dyed version is a fun twist! Available on Etsy

I’ve been doing a lot of sitting, as well as impromptu walks around the neighborhood. This coverall is the perfect quick getup to do both comfortably! Available on Wooden Sleepers
