A tie-dye ensemble, dyed by The Lovin' Spoonful founder, John Sebastian.

The long-sleeved, cotton-blend top features a yellow, orange, pink, blue, and green, tie-dye pattern with a five button-down neckline and flared sleeves, labeled "Smuggler of Scandinavia," size L. The flare pants (bleached then dyed by Sebastian) feature a salmon pink base color with bursts of green, magenta, and blue tie-dye designs, labeled "Landlubber," no size present.

The ensemble was dyed, c. late 1960s- early 1970s, at the 46-acre artistic community near Studio City called "The Farm." At The Farm, Sebastian was nicknamed "guitar fingers" due to his tight grip on his fabric (strength gained from playing the guitar) during the tie-dye process.
