CRACKA JACK BUTTON-DOWN [ARTIFACT]

CRACKA JACK BUTTON-DOWN — Blood-orange flannel, cut sleeveless and softened by time. This shirt belonged to an earlier incarnation of Tex Machiavelli—Texxy—and appears in the Cracka Jack music video, where its tone and texture shaped the scene’s feverish light.

The cotton is aged but alive; its weave holds color like memory—burnt rusts, dim reds, and muted blacks crossing in a restless grid. The armholes are raw, the edges slightly curled, every imperfection tracing back to that moment in sound and movement.

This piece marks transition—the line between noise and design, between Texxy and Tex Machiavelli. It’s not nostalgia. It’s evidence.

Quite possibly the most significant artifact released to date.
