Wowasi Ta Háyapi- Overalls

Description

Wowasi Ta Háyapi means “Their Working Clothes” in Lakota — and this garment is exactly that: a tribute centering Native ironworkers like the Mohawk Skywalkers who helped build the skylines of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Detroit and more.

We wanted to bring the same discipline, presence, and cultural grounding that we put into furniture into something wearable. A garment that holds weight. That moves and ages with you. Built with the same care and intention that we bring to the spaces and objects we create. A High Rez Original.

Cut and Sewn in the heart of Tongva Lands by the hands of Firmé Atelier 

Cut from 15.2oz Cone Mills indigo denim, the overalls feature:

• Triple-stitched seams

• Corduroy-reinforced gussets side seams

• Elasticated straps that allow for ease of movement.

• Detachable quick-release straps for easy wear, replacement, and reconfiguration with new trims

• Reinforced front bib pocket with brass zipper and flap

• Topped-on back pockets with zippers and functional fly front

• Brass hardware, that includes O-ring utility loop

• Hand-pressed leather patch, stamped with a circle of Tusweca – Dragonflies

We create in small runs using deadstock and sustainably sourced materials wherever possible. Our process centers ethical labor, fair trade partnerships, and transparent supply chains. As a Native American–owned studio, we live and breath right relationship with land, makers, and tradition. High Rez Indigenous design principles and process that are built to last, meant to be worn, and rooted in care.
