New Fashion For Men: Funky Shorts Crocheted From Recycled Vintage Blankets

If you think that crochet art is outdated, think again – or tell it to Schuyler Ellers. As the person behind Lord von Schmitt, a shop on Etsy, he creates vividly colorful shorts, pants, and capris out of recycled materials, giving them a priceless vintage look. He couldn’t stress enough that the groovy designs are not only suitable for women, but for men as well.

“ Afghan blankets are original pieces of folk art, hand made by artisans across America since the 1960’s and well before, ” writes Ellers, explaining the origins of the materials used. “ With scissors and a sewing machine I transform vintage crochets into wearable sculpture! ”
