COMPLETE THE UNIFORM
REPURPOSED KUFFIYA WATERMELON CREWNECK
An architectural study in reclaimed textiles and high-density thread engineering. The centerpiece translates the historic symbol of Palestinian persistence into a physical artifact, constructed by hand-cutting and raw-edge appliquéing authentic woven kuffiya cloth directly into the chest profile.
Each garment utilizes genuine patterned textile underlays—incorporating traditional black-and-white fishnet weave on the Black colorway, and red-and-white heritage weave on the Heather Gray. The watermelon motif is secured with heavy-gauge, multi-pass satin perimeter stitching, framed by a distressed fringe edge designed to fray naturally over time with wear and washing.
Bisecting the emblem is high-density Old English 'PALESTINE' typography, digitized in-house and executed via industrial Tajima multi-needle embroidery using high-luster Fil-Tec Glide trilobal thread. Finished with Old English embroidery reading "END THE OCCUPATION" along the lower rear waistband and "CULTURE IS RESISTANCE" framing the front hem.
Designed, digitized, embroidered, and bench-audited in-house in San Diego, California. Due to the authentic hand-cut nature of the repurposed kuffiya yardage, no two textile orientations are identical.

TM Design Lab and TM Sonic Lab operate under complete vertical self-sufficiency. There are no outsourced third-party agencies, overseas digitizing clearinghouses, or print-on-demand intermediaries. Every deliverable across the visual, sonic, and textile catalog is authored and executed end-to-end by a single creator.
By commissioning Commission 01, you are funding a closed-loop piece of physical and sonic culture—cut, tracked, stitched, and verified by the artist.
