@tatmantall:

About the only thing I make sure I do not do is hang my jacket up on a peg.

What's this strange thing you call a peg?

[Seul]

?

[Giles]

And what is it used for?

[tatmantall]

Wall decor

[Giles]

Ah, now I understand….

[Snowy]

The only kind

[tatmantall]

Holy crap. That looks like it's out of a Stanley Kubrick film

"I'm afraid I can't allow you to hang your jacket on me, tat"

[tatmantall]

It cool I wouldn't… Pegs are for sissys.

Man, David Himel has been posting some HEAT in woolen jackets on his Facebook lately. This letterman jacket he's been working on with chainstitched Native American art on it is sick. He's also shown a jacquard patterned one woven on a 300 year old loom and a couple of other tweeds.

tatman thx very much for your insight and personal experience with your great looking jacket man you are a fast rocker buddy

mcclaincausey yeah I think he is making a lot of great jackets beside the leather jackets, always curious to see some new creations of DH, indeed a very talented craftsman

a link I found while surfing a bit about the horsehide himel bros is using and about DH visit to Japan, maybe some of you might be interested in it and browse through the tags, very cool stuff behind the scenes

Thanks D. Yeah, David himel is an artist in the purist sense IMO. I'm do in love with his stuff that I have berm holding off other purchases to invest in a few more himel jackets. He's a very nice genuine person to work with as well

Would just like to chime in here on costs because i think there is some misunderstanding of what it costs to produce a Himel jacket.  The materials (leather, liner, etc..) for one single jacket costs David Himel about $500 landed in Toronto.

[tatmantall]

And he's the pimp daddy from Cincinnati when it comes to leather jackets. (By Cincinnati I mean canada of course)

Not mine, but still great pictures nonetheless.  I really love how this thing is aging…

Really really wish David Himel was going to inspiration…I could have had him maybe measure me up or something

[mclaincausey]

I think he was in California fairly recently.

[davito]

He is pretty fb active maybe contact him there Ben
