Hobo Bag Second Pattern [JDG23647]

Hobo is a term that refers to migrant workers who traveled across America by rail in search of work, appearing from the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Their nomadic lifestyle, moving with only essential belongings and no fixed abode, eventually became a symbol of freedom and independence, deeply influencing American culture and fashion. "Loom Hobo" reinterprets fabric from past JELADO items into a bag. It was produced in small quantities using leftover fabric from a previous release: a striped blanket jacket, modeled after a chinstrap work jacket made by BLACKBEAR around the 1930s. The thick blanket woven in the Bishu region, a renowned textile production area, perfectly matches the rounded silhouette of the Hobo Bag, resulting in a bag with a great feel. Using a bag pattern representative of T.K GARMENT SUPPLY, the buttons are Made in USA German silver conchos. The handle and bottom use strongly grained deerskin, accentuating the bag's overall presence. These are the crystallization of practicality and beauty, born from people's lives against the backdrop of difficult times like the Great Depression and wartime. Characterized by geometric patterns and unique color schemes from reusing feed sacks, they deeply embody the spirit of American folk art and craftsmanship. T.K.GARMENT SUPPLY patterns are used for JELADO DRYGOODS.
