Continuing my foray into vintage/reproduction knitwear, I’ll highlight the Wollarium on Etsy, which is both swoon-worthy and holiday wishlist-worthy…and when I say holiday wishlist, I mean that the Wollarium (Emma Sommerfeld in Berlin, Germany) produces hand-made reproduction sweaters from vintage patterns and said hand-made items are priced accordingly. Have you ever knit something yourself? That scarf I made once took forever, I can only imagine the love and craftsmanship that goes into these gorgeous knits. Knit-to-order, so you can have your choice of yarns and colors! Great items for both ladies and gents.

Prompted by friends, followers, social media, and adoring fans of Adam Speen, I am taking orders for #speenteam sweater vests. First debuted on November 2, 2014, the sweater vests are just the next phase of # love for all things Adam Speen, the wearer of the sweater vests, a champion and bearer of many Balboa titles, and just a really nice dude. Anyone can be a part of #speenteam, we’re just excited about Balboa, sweater vests, and dancing like a badass.

Vests are navy blue viscose, very soft, with white embroidery – scroll to the bottom of this post to see a closeup photo of the embroidery on the vest. I will only be taking orders through Sunday, so make sure to get your order in by 9:00 p.m. EST on November 30.
