— January 27, 2016 — Fashion
Offering a hip yet eco-friendly way to stay warm, 'Waiting for Harry' T-shirt scarves are crafted using old shirts that might otherwise find their way to the landfill.

Often emblazoned with band logos, pop culture imagery and other hip nods to retro culture, the 'Waiting for Harry' infinity scarves can be purchased over at the 'Waiting for Harry' Etsy store that has limited quantities of the accessories.
