Himel Bros Leather Jacket

There are certain things it makes sense to bargain shop for, and others which you'd be best served by researching and spending good money. Footwear and outerwear are two things I've always believed it makes sense to get the good stuff. You can wear shoes and boots almost every day for years before having them resoled, and the experience of wearing them is far better than the cheap options. Outerwear is another thing which you could potentially have for a lifetime. Have a look at your local thrift shop and you'll find plenty of tweed coats from the 1960s which show very little wear. The initial investment may be high, but the cost-per-wear ends up being much less than the lesser-quality counterpart. Plus most of us only have a couple jackets - get the best you can afford, and nowhere does this count more than leather jackets. Dave Himel has an extensive background in vintage clothing, and owns an outstanding leather jacket collection. His knowledge and experience with cool and rare jackets is unparalleled in my opinion. Using new old stock items, vintage hardware, and rare machinery like the Reese 101 buttonhole machine, each jacket becomes an instant collectors item of curated materials. Cotton thread only found in either Germany, or a small Connecticut factory is used on all of his jackets which means a slower sewing process - about 10-14 hours worth. "They don't make em like they used to" unless we're talking about Himel. Get yours here: https://himelbros.com/collections/
