Let’s see, take my baseball cap and my old raggy sweatshirt and turn it into a face-mask, so I look like a bank robber. Not really, this is art and wearable for the icy cold weather. Artist Shin Murayama latest project is: Yankees Extreme Cold Weather Face Mask Unissued 2014.
The idea came from old-school cold weather military masks. He created the masks by using New Era baseball caps for front and used college sweatshirts for the interior and linings. Only 8 of these have been produced and will be sold exclusively at Nepenthes retail store in Tokyo, Osaka and Hakata, Japan. I don’t have a price, but it should be artsy-collectible expensive.
