The "Nova" Crewneck -Vintage Navy Crewneck with Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Patch

Named after the dog, Nova, available for adoption through the Minnesota Animal Humane Society, this crewneck is made from a vintage unisex 2XL navy NuBlend Jerzees crewneck, this crewneck is upcycled a canvas backed Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Patch.

Due to the Sunbonnet Sue patch originally being entirely hand-stitched, I reinforced the patch using white cotton thread and sewed the entire patch down using a heavy-duty machine stitch to lead to more durability and a longer life span for the garment.

The exterior back of the garment features our biodegradable Two Howling Labs Studio logo.

Due to the reclaimed nature of the materials, stains and minor cosmetic flaws are to be expected. However, I do my best to reference all the flaws in the photos. This sweater has some staining present on both the front and the back and some wear in the shoulders. I did my best to cover the most significant damage using the quilt patch. These flaws can be seen in the photos.

Sustainability Statement

Each piece is made as sustainably as possible with the intention to not add more fabric to the landfill and an attempt to be as close to zero-waste as possible. I source all of the clothing from thrift stores and all of the quilted pieces, quilts, and remnants are second-hand. I also try to source as much of my sewing thread and embroidery thread second-hand as much as possible, while reusing packaging materials as well.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Due to the vintage and delicate nature of the upcycled materials and quilt patches, these pieces are hand-wash and line or rack dry only. I also recommend spot cleaning when possible to extend the life of your garment or accessory

TWO HOWLING LABS GUARANTEE:

If the embroidery thread* comes undone, each piece comes with a lifetime guarantee and I will repair the stitching free of cost. For handmade items, I will repair any rips or tears that occur due to improper stitching or manufacturing.

*Please note: the guarantee only applies to the added work on the garment, not the thrifted item itself. I also cannot repair items that haven't been up-kept with the above care instructions. If you have a larger repair (ie: a hole develops somewhere on the thrifted clothing item), I can repair these for a small fee and the cost of shipping.
