The craftsman behind Note to Self was not your average kid. While most juveniles were trading fags for swigs of Spumanti behind the shelter sheds, Max Olijnyk was following the skater-trails of Matt Hensley and Guy Mariano. He spent just as much time recreating their (retrospectively perhaps too large) pants on his Mum's sewing machine as he did ollying off three-inch gutters.

These days Olijnyk is a grown man about town. He makes zines and has just retired as a designer for Schwipe, but still skates and sews jeans for those who appreciate local design and seek to turn heads with their awesome-looking asses.

Made-to-measure services are available from Max's Melbourne studio, and get ready-to-wear online at Order & Progress.
