a little piece of Virginia farming history, made into something new!
made from two original 100 lb. cotton feed sacks from Big Spring Mill, Inc. of Elliston, Virginia. These beauties feature an incredible oversized A-NO-1 FEEDS emblem in faded red, butter yellow, soft green, and dusty blue, with four little animal illustrations tucked inside the circular design.
the original graphics are especially wonderful, with bold green X-shaped stripes, "A-NO-1 FEEDS" printed along the sides, and the mill's original name and location still visible near the bottom. even the tiny red "SIZE 47" marking survives!
I especially love the contrast between the colorful oversized artwork running down one leg and the beautifully simple ivory cotton on the other. Finished with a comfortable elastic waist and an easy, wide-leg silhouette. A wonderfully worn, one-of-a-kind piece of history, ready for another lifetime of adventures!
size: M-L / 30"-36" waist / 39" length (note: these pants are very forgiving • designed to comfortably fit a wider range of bodies than the letter size suggests)
made with: 2 original A-NO-1 feed sacks / 100% cotton / ~1940s
sewn: 10/8 in California in over 5 hours
fyi:
+ best cared for by hand • machine wash cold on gentle cycle if needed +
+ made from vintage materials • slight imperfections add to its story +
+ sewn slow in california
