Studio Visit: Clearance
Clearance in Polynesia Shirt by Portuguese Flannel and A.P.C New Standard Jeans
With just a few weeks left of summer, Chicago based band Clearance's new album At Your Leisure came out July 27th on Topshelf Records and we have been listening all week! The whole album has summer-like vibes for those that are not quite ready for the season to end--- we certainly are not!
We had Clearance in the studio a few weeks ago to model Summer collections from our new sister Shop Gemini, featuring looks from Portuguese Flannel, A.P.C, and Gitman Vintage. We spoke with the band mates on how they approach their personal wardrobe while capturing these fun images.

Mike in Portuguese Flannel
What do you look for when shopping for clothes? “I try and find things I know I can wear in a variety of settings, with whatever else I have, and for hopefully a long time. I like solid color contrasts especially. Otherwise I try and find stuff in thrift stores like everyone else, especially on tour.”
Kevin in Gitman Vintage
Kevin’s style: “I try to minimize overt brand expression and logos on my clothes, and I like low saturation, subdued colors. I have two yellow shirts for when I’m at peak self esteem.”
