For the past ~7 years I’ve been buying, wearing, collecting and hoarding GAP pocket tees from the late 80s to mid 90s. They’re made in USA, all cotton, with a complimentary boxy fit and done up in the most amazing washed colors. The one shown in the background I wore for much of the build out of the store, with the paint and wear to show for it.
50+ of these tees added in-store now in all sizes and colors. 🎨
1993 Ralph Lauren cotton knits modeled after traditional guernsey woolens sweaters. This is a style thought to have originated from the home knitting of wives of fisherman and farmers on the island of Guernsey beginning in the early 19th century.

Both of these items are yarn dyed (rather than garment or overdyed) meaning that the warp threads are orange and the weft is white. Similar to indigo denim, they will fade and lighten with wear. Two of our favorite designers doing same thing but different 🧠
Beginning this week, Chad Senzel will be open on Mondays and Wednesdays. We will remain closed on Tuesdays. See you soon!

David Hammons selling snowballs in Cooper Square, February 13, 1983, following a blizzard dumping 2’ of snow on NYC days prior. Hammons offered his snowballs for $1 each (~$3.25 by today’s standards) and displayed them on a traditional African rug. The balls’ perfectly spherical shape can be owed to a series of molds Hammons found at Canal Plastics (a New York institution that remains in business). It is recounted that he joked during the day about being able to sell snowballs to eskimos; purportedly he did in fact make a few sales that day. Photo by Dawoud Bey.
