Himel Brothers Leather Co.

The way the USD to CAD has been lately I'd seriously consider this new creation, if he'd only priced his jackets in Canadian dollars.

Himel is making several new models. I am anxiously awaiting one particular new model.

I’m anxiously waiting on which particular one you are anxiously waiting.

In a couple months I'll have quit smoking long enough to pay for one. hmm

Lol! He has a straight zip in the works that I am eager to see.

Is that the half-belt he just teased? Love the collar... The new jackets all look fantastic.

One of the things I like about Himel is that he has gotten this far without making a conventional half-belt with a straight zip. It will be interesting to see how this new design will stand out.

Holly smoke! Thats it. I have been begging him to make that jacket for eons. A few weeks ago, he finally agreed.

Dave: I will be coming to Inspiration cash in hand.

True. Dave told me that this half-belt will incorporate some less traditional/conventional elements. I suspect the back and/or bottom will have some interesting design elements. It will definitely be based on a vintage piece. However, like FW, Dave likely selected a vintage jacket with some interesting lines/styling.

BTW: Dave is also adding Italian HH and deerskin to his leather selections (in addition to Shinki and the recently added steerhide).

Man, all those jackets are crazy gorgeous but... I wouldn't know how to wear half of that stuff. I mean:

I'd love to have it, but I wouldn't have the guts to try to pull it off.

Completely agree. Several of Himel's jackets are works of art that I personally could never pull off -- his Grizzly in particular . On the other hand, his Heron, Kensington, Avro and Canuck are very wearable.

Kensington was probably the first leather jacket I've truly fallen in love with - not the J100, but the Kensington. I still remember when I was looking for images of Cafe Racers, having just learned what the style was called, when this popped up:

Had no idea it was based on anything at the time, it was just the coolest thing that I had ever seen. Still is, perhaps. But then I saw the price tag, wiped a tear and proceeded to schottnyc.com...

10/10, would wear every day.
