Big thank you to Emily Pearl Photography for these stunning portraits:)

CUSTOM ‘CANNA-CLAUS’ SANTA SUIT

mcgrewsadmin · November 5, 2023 ·

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!
