This week Archival loses two of our favorite creative contributors, Kristina Parker and Tyler Rogers, to graduation. The pair will be moving from Eugene to NYC to start new jobs in design and advertising. Over the past year, Kris and Tyler have applied their creative talents to Archival’s spring lookbook, logo decal designs and motion themed video (shot by their friend and photographer, Grant Lemon). This team will be sadly missed. We wish them the best of luck and hope to reconnect during our next Brooklyn lookbook shoot.
As for graduation gifts, we recommend our Archival Sweatshirts (modeled by Kris and Tyler) which are nicely sized for both men and women.
A few more grad gift suggestions from the team:
We love following the Instagram feed osamu19760714 whose documentation of everyday ensembles inspires us to wear more khaki, untuck our shirts, layer up and update our cap and canvas sneaker collection. Osamu’s feed frequently features Archival garb and bags including this economical, canvas duck Zip Pouch carried as a casual, summertime attache.
You don’t have to be a cyclist to find a use for this handsome and durable Archival Tool Roll. Fill up the six pockets with everything from drafting pencils and paint brushes to multi-tools or a small Opinel. Perfect for artists, hobbyists and students. Made from waxed cotton gridwax canvas, with heavy-duty features including bias-tape bound edges, bartacking at stress points, high quality brass hardware and a leather lace.
We encourage every grad to launch out on an overseas adventure. Our rugged Archival Rolltop Messenger is a terrific traveling companion. Rugged, durable waxed twill deflects the elements while the wide, adjustable shoulder strap (made from custom, mil spec cotton web), makes the bag comfortable to wear while touring museums or walking through the country.
