Welcome to Short and Angry Originals.

S & A O's is a Minneapolis based company that was started in 2006 on a the desire to learn how to sew. My mother a long time seamstress and interior designer was always there to teach me if I wanted, but as I do many other things in life I wanted to teach myself and make my way through it.

So,I dusted off the machine that I had been hauling around for years and sewed my first straight line on a piece of scrap fabric. My brother-in-law needed his pants hemmed to a bicycle friendly length so I gave it a shot and took the remaining fabrics and made a hat. I was encouraged by my friends to put the hats in a local coffee shop and they sold.

I love bikes and the culture in Minneapolis. I have worked as a messenger, bike shop employee and at a major US distributor. I get great joy out of creating hats from
recycled fabrics, top tube protectors and knickers out of pants and being open to the other possibilities. All of my creations are 100% handmade in the USA and all items are One of A Kind.

Thanks for looking and I hope you dig it.
