This week Amanda and Ben talk with D.M.Foxx, Dennis to his friends of Fox Fitzgerald, a collective from Manhattan. Their unique Etsy shop sells not just custom themed biker jackets, but vintage zippo lighters, patches, even BMX bikes, all with serious, rock ‘n’ roll street cred.
We get the scoop on how they combine beat-up leather jackets with found items and their DIY artistic flair to create themed jackets for fans of just about anything.
We also delve into the grey murk of navigating Intelectual Property, copyrighted imagery and Etsy takedowns, weigh the pros and cons of fixing damaged vintage clothes, how to fine tune your advertising efforts and the cool stuff we find in pockets.
