CUSTOM ‘CANNA-CLAUS’ SANTA SUIT

· ·

THIS is how we know cannabis and capitalism have compatibly merged.

Custom Santa Suit order by an ever-so-cool client, 2022.



The print fabric here is Spoonflower’s Marijuana Mix Marble (R) Fabric by camomoto. The coat’s solid green is a panne velvet (a semi textured crushed velour fabric). Trimming in a luscious red fake fur shakes up expectations and complements the print’s Red Hair Sensimilla design. Underscoring the entire message (as if that’s even needed) are custom resin buttons with marijuana leaves plus a vintage marijuana leaf belt buckle!

Unusual, fun, and unmistakable, whether you call him Marijuana Santa, Canna Santa or Father Cannabis, he’s the season’s favorite gift-bringer.

Wait ’til you see what’s in his goodie bag!

Future trend predictions: Ancestor cosplay/re-enactment is gonna get huuuge! and it’ll blossom in some really interesting ways-

#Rootstech 2020 genealogy conference recently showcased these super cool Mayflower Society descendants, staging a big parade for them at the Salt Palace. The entire main hall audience viewed their procession plus were urged to attend a special session about the International Mayflower Society and its upcoming 400th year anniversary celebration this September in Plymouth.
