Indigo Invitational x Redline Rally Battle Rag
Sold Out – Second Batch Coming Soon
Each year, we try to offer our competitors something special that they can wear to commemorate the year-long competition. Tee shirts have been popular, but we wanted to do something a little different this year.
We designed the II x RR Battle Rag in collaboration with Davide Biondi of Hen’s Teeth Italy. Davide’s bandanas caught our eye every time our paths crossed in Amsterdam, and, when we floated the idea of a competition bandana, he was thrilled to offer his assistance.
We drew inspiration from the 19th century American campaign bandanas that were given away by campaigning politicians like Grover Cleveland and Teddy Roosevelt. The turkey red bandana was so popular that the 19th century has been called, by some, the “century of the red bandana.”
Instead of the faces of politicians, our bandanas feature cameos of beautifully faded selvedge. We’ve added other touches, like the globes at each corner, reflecting the global spread of this competition, and the pair of wooden shuttles (a key component in vintage selvedge looms) running along two sides.
Most graphic bandanas are oriented like canvases. Those who wear bandanas tend to fold them from corner to corner, though. This cuts through the design diagonally. We’ve taken a different approach that reflects how bandanas are actually worn. When the bandana is folded, the wearer can choose between two sides: one with an II cameo, the other with an RR cameo.
We hope you’ll wear them with pride.
