Jon Wye

If you haven't heard of Jon Wye, you've been living under a rock. And not cool, little grooundhog nook, like those dudes in the Geico commercial, just a boring, old rock.

Did you know that Jon Wye was the first company to use belts as canvases? Yep. They create one-of-a-kind designs on the finest quality leather, and now the best cotton shirts around. They take pop culture and add their own influences. They make almost everything by hand in their workshop in DC, and they try their hardest to get all of their materials from the USA. Basically, they make awesome.

Jon Wye. DC Craft Mafia Spring Thing. Saturday, May 21st. Be there!
