I admit I don't know anything about CH, but I was just thinking that it does somewhat remind me of the stuff I wore playing in my band between 2005-2009...Ed Hardy, Affliction, etc. Lots of crosses, skulls, roses, and so on. Wore it and loved it at the time - ****** stuff. But sent it all to donate around 2010. My personal style preferences are a bit more conservative now.

Priciest ones are old but stuff sells. I mean, never forget...

I already got interest for the belt buckle, before I even bought it. I posted it to FB for authenticity check and couple of dudes DM'd me how much I paid and if I'd be interested to move it.
We'll see. Hunting and flipping is where the excitement lies. Besides, I need to do something about my summer game! Plus it's a really gorgeous belt buckle and I've been looking for one for 10 years. I'm sick and tired of the boring heritage square buckle belts & they aren't even that much cheaper, considering how ****py they all look.

Yeah I think that whole look has become very passé or cliche here in the US, and has been for nearly 20 years. Kind a like of like True religion jeans, which cost then, what a pair of IH jeans will run you today, despite the True Religions being vastly inferior in every single measurable way imaginable. But you did get to wear a chandelier across your ***…which is nice.

Just get the stuff you can get for cheap I’d say, if you really like it.Priciest ones are old but stuff sells. I mean, never forget...

Worry not, I always got a plan for everything I want to cover itself in a way. Except when the plan fails but so far it didn't. I think that at the end of the day, all my jackets evened out.
Lol - I had (still have maybe?) a pair of Rock & Republic jeans that say "Rock" in purple stitching across the *** pockets. Nearly new condition because even 15 years ago I kinda thought they were over the top so I never wore them. I might still have them buried in the back of a storage closet...anyone interested?

I don't see this as any less out of cliche than cuffed jeans, plaid shirts and motorcycle leather jackets but there exist weirdos still wearing that stuff.

What do you think is the weight (oz) of this leather?

Very true that these things are all just personal taste!
Mine personally has changed, so that is what impacts my buying (and selling/donating). I'm just a different type of weirdo now
.But I suppose if we are discussing the market value for certain styles of clothes in relation to an asking price on Grailed or Ebay, etc., it would be relevant to discuss whether the overall demand for particular items/styles is up or down. That should factor into the true market-based assessment of value/price.

This^ That’s what I was trying to get at too. There’s a plethora of sellers marking stuff at beyond ridiculous prices and it just sits there as a placeholder for an eternity.Very true that these things are all just personal taste!

Theodoros is working on the final details of my 50s style mc jacket.

This looks awesome. I’m scared to see it actually. Too enticing.
The leather aging is really subtle and nicely done, i also like the way the small brass dots on the top of the ticket pocket are slightly overlapping it reminds me of sleeve buttons on suits and is really quite elegant on that jacket, nice idea, did you ask for that or is that Theo's idea?

There's a fine line between fake aging and convincing distressing. Initially I went with a washed hide only (no ageing, only beeswax finish) but I changed my mind when Thedi posted a pic of a beautifully distressed green mc jacket on Instagram. I told him that's what I wanted but even more subtle. Those browns peeking through look great together with the brown zipper tape and mouton.
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think they're individual studs. It looks like they're welded together? I saw them on some jacket when I visited their store and I thought it looked really cool.
Also note there's no branding except for the label on the inside
I'm so stoked. If all goes well the jacket will be delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

Love the leather accents on it. I am glad makers are using them in wool jackets.
Double Helix “The Boxer” suede horsehide in 38.
Could be a touch shorter and would have preferred it without the cupro lining , but my goodness it’s a beauty, and such an intoxicating scent, love it!
Here’s some misfit pics, sorry about the background (well, about other stuff too) but it’s tough to get a long view in a short house.
