Our latest Needles delivery included a handful of items from their Rebuild range. The Ribbon Flannel combines a single vintage shirt with strips of fabric from a selection of others, creating an interesting aesthetic with an array of plaid patterns. Each one is different, in its colour and proportions, which makes for a truly unique garment.

The Rebuild by Needles collection has grown this fall to include a couple of new shirt styles.

The Rebuild Western Shirt, however, might be a more wearable option, and it still offers the unique patchwork look the brand has become known for.
