Taking a closer look at the custom Chefs Coat we created for Chef Carlos at @tikitaco earlier this spring🎯
This was my first time attempting a double breasted front closure system. which is typically something you see more on formal outerwear designs, but also very prevalent in restaurant industry apparel!
Additional features include a banded collar, pen pocket on the sleeve, hidden interior pocket, and a beautiful custom chainstitch embroidery by @alyxjacobsrepair 🪡
Such an incredible collaboration that i’m stoked to have been involved in! s/o to Tiki Taco for involving me the project!
🤍 SAVE THE DATE: Saturday May 30 10-3 pm 🤍
Asiatica will be hosting our 3rd & final Bazaar. If you’re not already aware, we will be closing at the end of 2026.
We are celebrating 50 years of creativity and meaningful business throughout the following months.
Please join us for a day of visual fun, conversation, and shopping with some of Kansas City’s best creatives.
We thought the chef who brings the flavor deserved a fit to match, so we set out to have a one-of-a-kind chef’s coat made for Chef Carlos! 🔥

A story about care.
About what we choose to keep… and why.
Repair is resistance to overconsumption.

Alyx Jacobs can look at your most beloved, beat-up pair of jeans and see what you can’t: a 10-minute fix. 🪡
What began as a personal philosophy became a business, and it’s only growing following a recent move into a storefront at 6 Westport Road. Last year, Jacobs’ team completed more than 1,500 pieces. The work is roughly an even split between alterations and mending, but Jacobs is careful to keep repair at the heart of what she does.
