My comment was outta pocket for sure... but I've been lurking on your jackets for 2 years (a big fan) and always come back looking for people wearing the jackets. I don't have unlimited resources, so a model wearing a sick piece usually ends the debate in my mind with a KO. Now that you mention it, I would model the jackets for you, on my own dime and bring a photographer. DEADASS.

Pattern making and designing is most of the fun of it for me. I love taking inspiration from classic old apparel designs and reworking them into something new. I was trained in manual drafting and working with paper patterns is a joy for me. There's a level of engagement that just isn't there when I do CADD, it feels sterile and removed. Glad to see there's still a place for these skills.

Is this something like the effect that Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli's first leather jacket in the Happy Day's series had? If you look at it in certain shots you can see the fine lines and wrinkles in places. It looked like a high quality leather but sadly was stolen from the costume department at some point early in the series. Is that the same thing as tunneling?

Hi Dave. I have recently begun watching your videos mostly out of my shared interest in vintage clothing and sewing machines. I am a younger guy who’s main hobby is sewing myself shirts out of old wool blankets. What I mostly wanted to say was thank you for showing the imperfections of that beautiful antique coat because many times when I am sewing I can’t leave well enough alone which can sometimes cause me to restitch a certain aspect so many times to get my lines perfectly straight that I will end up just ruining my project all together. I need to learn to let myself embrace structurally sound and visibly minor imperfections and get on with the joys of sewing and actually finishing projects again so I can bring my finished work from my mind into reality. The ‘good-enough’ mentality that someone put into this coat certainly held up and allowed the garment to live a long life instead of never being finished in the first place and that inspires me. Thank you.

You know a lot of building or doing anything is practice just get some leather and just practice making stitches over and over and over again and then work on your project
@rileybrady8653 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the response. I do understand that a lot of it comes down to putting in the time and honing your skills and experience. As well as understanding how to control the machine and correctly manipulate the material. I have this problem where I will be sewing a sleeve placket in my wool shirt like I have done many times before and be more surprised than not if I can line all the layers up with close to perfect top stitching on top and stitching in the ditch on the bottom. My slight frustration is I’ve yet to fully master this and it is what a lot of my personal success hinges upon. I can accept slight cosmetically but not structurally errant details in some areas but not this one for some reason. I can get hung up on the slightest details. I think it comes from this silly underlying feeling I have that a finished project isn’t worth as much when I think back on all the slight mistakes even though it is overall good and as good or better than RTW clothing. I have looked back it some of my own RTW clothing to gain closure and see the mistakes that I wouldn’t have originally noticed and haven’t stopped me from wearing or enjoying it but have a hard time not holding myself to a higher standard.

Not to blow smoke but in this regard (and so many others), there is really no one doing what you are doing. Showing us so many examples of earlier construction and design and then explaining it, this is incredibly interesting and helpful. The Chinook is truly one of my favourites but seeing how you arrived there, well, that's extraordinary. Please do more videos that place Himel designs in these historical contexts and show us more and more of your collection.

Thank you for the history and for the jacket exposition. I've done a little bit of research that leads me to believe there was a decline in the quality and changes in how hides were tanned in the 70s and 80s. They say you can identify a Schott leather jacket that was made during that time just by looking and feeling the jacket as opposed to one out of the 50s and 60s. It seems that manufacturers started using thicker hides in their jackets sometime in the mid 2000s, returning to an earlier standard of craftsmanship. Maybe you can make a video about that? Thanks, your knowledge and jackets are works of art.

There are few "heritige hype" products that I like. I think the iron ranger is superb boot but I don't much care for the schott perfecto. I think their pea coat is far better value for money. I think selvedge denim is a scam unless you personally drink indigo dye and snort cotton power. But your jackets are really something else. Every aspect of these jackets is built with their aesthetic in mind, with how they look 5 years from now, all whole refashioning if not entirely redesigning classic patterns. I always wondered why my sleeves didn't look like yours. I wondered why my buffalo hide sleeves were stiff and unflattering and why my goatskin sleeves just creased. But then I watched your Japanese horsehide video and learned that the skin is allowed to contract. Would it be possible to recreate this effect with goatskin? My problem is that goatskins tan more quickly than hides which would allow me to experiment withing a shorter time frame. Also, they don't require much space or a particularly large container.

@@himelatorgood to know! I have a friend that studied "leather engineering" (it's an actual course at IIT) and he sent me a mimosa, oak, and Acacia bark powder blend. Very informative stuff. He told me to use a big clay pot and to leave it for 3 weeks before "press testing" whatever that means. Looking forward to it. He told me it's gonna take a while to find a good set of skins (7-8) for a jacket since the grain is hard to differentiate in the fleshed and salted state. If nothing else, this should save me a lot of money on leather. Salted skins are a whole lot cheaper. Hopefully the contraction will thicken and stiffen the leather if it occurs at all. Thanks for the help, man. I can't wait!

Hey Dave, I’m just a guy that likes to make my own leather stuff at home. I dye my leather with Fiebing’s CORDOVAN colored dye. What I’ve learned is Fiebing’s will bleed when wet. What I’ve done to stop this is, after the dye dries a couple days. I go over the leather with a wet/ damp rag & you’ll get a lot of green color & that weird rainbow effect will be almost gone. I had a new motorcycle jacket made in 2022, it’s that odd milk chocolate horsehide, dye’d it Cordovan. 1st wet ride my hands turned green when I took the jacket off. That’s how I figured out to wipe it down until it stops bleeding dye. I haven’t used Resoline to seal leather because I like to beeswax my leather for water resistance. When the rag gets green toss it & use another rag, that green is semi permanent especially on skin😂
