that is the wrong website, the one we talk about is block-bilt.com.
Simmons Bilt, formerly Alexander Leathers, rebranding as Block Bilt?
Well. It's changed from a couple of hours ago where it clearly said steve@simmonsbilt as contact. It actually said that a couple of times. It really doesn't bother me either way. I just find it interesting.http://whois.domaintools.com/block-bilt.com
Doesn't look like it is SB
The active site and domain is Block-Bilt with a hyphen. Simmons Bilt seem to own the domain Block Bilt ( Un-hyphenated) possibly they got word about this new company and attempted to block them using that domain?Well.

With the BK link....it's all too confusing for a simple Aussie like me. Those tags look identical Sloan, well spotted. Could this be the big collaboration that BK alluded to a couple of years ago? Who knows...it will be interesting to watch.
Anyone notice that Block and BK use exactly the same style of union number label?

That seems quite a coincidence. The pricing and stitching also seems very much in line with BK's.
Aahh. You could well be right. It wouldn't be the first time today I was wrong. This world of leather is full of mysteries and personalities....it really is quite a trip.The active site and domain is Block-Bilt with a hyphen.

As mentioned previously the products from Block Bilt show no resemblance to SB at all.
I agree, my first thought was "this has a BK look to it!"
The website, the leather, the pictures, it's all very familiar...
Has anybody else noticed how off the shawl collar on The American is? It almost looks square! Pretty sure BK would not get that this wrong.
Not sure how i feel about these Block Bilt, no mention of where the leather is from, or where the jackets are made, no phone number, just a generic "we want to pay homage and make some jackets like they used to..."
Also, googling "Hiroshi Watanabe leather" brings 0 results.
