This book was created based on the profession of a man who collects vintage clothing. This man personally collects all clothing sold in his store Vagabond, located in San Marcos, Texas. Each piece of clothing is unique and many are from overseas. Each individual spread in this book is based on a specific type of clothing or accessory item that is sold. A page on boots, jerseys, denim, belts, flannel and sweaters is included. Each page has a color scheme based on an original photo of the clothing item.

The central focus on each page is the black threshold which switches sides on each spread creating movement throughout the book. The negative space in this book is very linear created by spacing the main black threshold on the opposing side of the color image and color threshold. Negative space is also created by overlaying white textures from the original threshold image and placing along the edges of the other images. 

There are three words on each page, one in English and the other two in language spoken in different European countries that the collector has traveled to. These words are the color of the lightest threshold on the page and line up against the image, filling negative space while also creating movement throughout.
