Just love the look of that leather, a darker brown almost black in tea core is my favorite, I'll be getting one from you one of these days.
Ordered mine today, can’t wait!
I can listen Dave Himel all day. so much knowledge.. a true modern legend
I'm blushing...
@@HimelBrosLeather Waiting on that AVRO review and Breakdown !!cant take it!
@@azraelnaviz586 it's coming... probably third or fourth from the top
Hey John I’m trying to contact you about making me a custom jacket please email me at lettieri89@icloud.com thank you
You are an true artist sir.
Wow!! What a great in-depth video Dave! You just blew my mind. I love hearing about the history of the jacket and how the design changes slightly depending where it was made, really fascinating. Crazy to think a leather jacket like that would of been used for work, now it’s more of a luxury item. Please keep these type of videos coming. Really gives me more appreciation of your work and knowledge.
Much appreciated! Many more videos coming soon-at least one new video a week for the foreseeable.
Absolutely gorgeous. I will get one some day! This is a perfect heritage style jacket
Gonna be ordering one, more than one. Your workmanship and artistry is greatly appreciated
I always... Always am thankful
Love the cuffs. Funny how a little detail can make a big difference. I also think that these cuffs work with the Frobisher collar design even better.
It's all in the details, baby
I HAVE to get the Dark Brown Imperial jacket
I would love to see a video on the Frobisher. For me, I'd like to own either one of these single rider jackets (Imperial or Frobisher). Does each of them allow for decent range of motion and overall movement? I sometimes think that a bi-swing is one of the best ways to achieve this but really, I don't know enough about jackets to say that.
Pleeeeease please please do one of your chevalier Jacket, by far the most unique and striking design!!!!
Coming soon!
@@HimelBrosLeather you should do a collaboration with Kreosote boots!
I swear one day I'll sell a kidney or something and buy one of his jackets
Fantastic information ... take my money😁
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.
You can absolutely do with goat in fact I have a full vet goatskin that is just as lovely as my horsehide
@@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!
How do you go about getting fitted for a jacket
👏
Love the jackets... but wayyyyyyy out of my price range!
Hay alguien que hable español ? Por favor? Desearia comprar!

What is a “Nazi” jacket?
When referring to a Nazi jacket we're referring to a World War II military jacket worn by the German military
Please, this film-making is appalling. I don't know if these people make good jackets. They make shit-awful films about them. Why am I stuck looking at indoor-sunglasses guy sharing inanities about what inspires him? Why isn't the Imperial Jacket actually featured in a film about the Imperial Jacket? Stopped watching around 4:55
He's explaining the history of the design and it's origins while showing the actual product as he finishes making it. You'd know that if you watched the video.
This is still clothing- You talk about clothing with a model wearing the piece. 20 minutes of a jacket flat on a table is a SIN
I guess with you become and expert in something you can open a CZcams channel and hire production team and espose your Genius in any format you want lol
@@HimelBrosLeather yes, completely disregard the notion lol
Well i mean i am an amazing model but then who would hold the phone
@@HimelBrosLeather I would fly over to hold the phone. 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.
