Hand-Eye Supply is launching its most recent quarterly catalog, which showcases their somewhat fetish-y selection of work aprons, as modeled by over 20 Portland makers of various sorts: "bakers, firefighters, furniture makers, industrial designers, artists, musicians; craftsmen and women and more." As is their habit, they're throwing a party for the occasion, with complimentary refreshments and snacks from Pacific Pie Company. Plus the early arrivals will be able to take a crack at making your own leather apron in back of the shop—you get to keep it, so try not to mess it up. Quarterly launch party Thursday Oct 3, 6-9 pm

Summerland is re-opening in the 811 E Burnside building, taking 15% off the entire shop, and inviting vintage-purveyor buddies Clever Nettle to join. Nettle is actually winding itself down so that owner Anja Verdugo can concentrate on her photography, so she'll be unloading pieces for real cheap: "nothing over $30, even for the great stuff." Friday Oct 4, 6-9 pm

Machus is throwing a launch for their new favorite LA brand, Chapter, who owner Justin Machus says "do amazing well thought out progressive designs within a perfect price category." Friday, Oct 4, 7-10 pm
