Description
“Jackson”
70×70
During a recent trip to Jackson (a first actually) in 2024 was a very inspiring journey. Driving across Nevada and Utah to Jackson Hole, traversing miles of scenic geology formations, is something I will never forget.
The small town of Jackson is home to some of the best skiing and beautiful vistas in the continental USA. Grit General is a cozy shop located in the heart of the mainstreet area. The owners requested an original design for their shop and wanted to do a special “The West” bandanna. They laid the foundations for this design, and gave us a very clear direction to work from. We worked together start to finish on this design and it came out because of their deep appreciation and knowledge of Jackson.
This bandanna features all the icons of Jackson; moose, grizzly bears, mountains, and of course cowboys. Wyoming is famous for rodeo so naturally we made this the main point of the bandanna. The color palette is based on the city colors of Jackson. We used vintage tones and hues to give the designs a more modern vintage feel.
The design is based on the “Swagger” and Wrangler bandannas of the 1960s. We hoped the design felt more like a roadside dinner milk glass graphic than an authentic bandanna. We design not for the purpose of authenticity but for getting the most out of the size of the cloth and current fashion climate. We really appreciate Grit General for working with us on this.
