The Pretty Hate Machine Bandana

April of 1990. I saw NIN open for Peter Murphy(and I think Think Tree was the 1st act). Before that all I remember is the found footage-esque Down in it video that was so bizarrely beautiful.

Trent and what seemed to be thousands of yards of cassette tape all over the stage made for one of my favorite performances to date. Flash to the future and what began in 1999 as a “ can you make a few things for an MTV appearance”

blossomed into Jeffrey and I being asked to create the wardrobe for The equally beautiful Fragile tour. This was a dream realized and still unbelievable to me.

Trent is a legend and seriously one of the nicest and most talented guys I have ever met. Pretty Hate Machine is STILL a perfect album(there are NO bad songs).

A bold square of plaid.

The size of a handkerchief, but made to roam further. Wear it, knot it, pocket it, or set it on the table. Each plaid is a spark of conversation and a reminder of the inspiration stitched within.

Unfolded, it’s a statement. Folded, it’s a secret waiting to be revealed. Mixed with denim, tucked into a jacket, or tied at the neck, our bandana transforms from accessory to emblem.

Crafted in 100% Organic Cotton Twill, printed with sustainable inks, and made on-demand with zero waste this is JCRT’s philosophy in a square: cloth, culture, and conscience, always made for you.

One Size: 22” x 22”

About the size:

Like our grandfathers before us we rarely leave home without one. Bandanas stand in for handkerchiefs, napkins, and sometimes armor. They shield, they signal, they accessorize and they carry stories in their folds. Guests, friends, and strangers alike will notice when you wear one.
