this is the longest ad ive ever watched.
I've seen a 15 minute actuall ad on CZcams.
Right? I feel like shes probably really cool but its hard to hear about her craft because she seems slightly annoyed.
@@Knatrick there was a dubstep ad that was hours long
During the release of the lego movie two I got an ad that was the entire lego movie plus behind the scenes stuff.
There’s 40 minutes Leica camera “most boring ad” here on CZcams
She didn't blink a single time

She blinked at 2:23

Long story short:
She is a slow but skilled worker and her jackets have a slight downward curve when viewed from the side. Longer in the front and shorter in the back. Also you get a custom embroidered patch on inside. Everything else is standard jacket work.
Pretty much
But she fucked up if the brief included "rides motorcycle", sleeves are longer on bike jackets, stretching to grab the bars and having half your forearm exposed isn''t a great design. But it has 22k gold, so that's cool I guess.
She's also on coke lol
ThisIsSolution So pretty much a hipster who overcharges?.
@@seanbailey317 price or inflated pricing is dependent on what a person will spend on an item. If people want the item for that price then it's a fair price.
My opinion doesn't matter but i would not purchase in that price range, maybe 300-400 dollar range
Love seeing that artisans like this still exist and are so passionate about their craft.
For 5k dollars, she would even make it wearing a thong, while vlogging it for the buyer.
@@jaydochaywalker8099it would sell
"Leather jackets always look their best 10 years after you've had them." - Couldn't agree more. I bought my second leather jacket with my first salary around 11 yrs back. Amazingly it still fits like a glove and looks way better now than it did then.
I’d ask for the jacket brand but really I need your workout,
10 years fitting in the same jacket
@@abizitgill4310 ill bite instead. What brand ?
for 5k I want my jacket to look awesome right the fuck now.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Impatient and entitled.
@@useyournogos6845 yeah, but understandable hahah
8:31 if she gives you that look, she's gonna make a jacket out of your skin lol.
Loool
Hahahahahahahaha
😀😀😀😜
hawt hawt hawt!
😂😂😂💀
She nailed it. When I’m wearing my leather I feel protected. Been rockin mine for 30 years now.
@Rain 49 👍🏻
Hat off to whoever made that piece of art that lasted for 3 decades and it is still loved by its owner.
What leather is it made of ?
Cowhide/lamskin/sheepskin/buffalo/……??
@@hridoyabdullah5133 not sure really. I assume cow
@@hottotty13 How thick is it, and how’s the grain? That usually gives a rough idea on the leather.
I never had Buffalo, but my favourite is horsehide then cow. Lamb is definitely my least favourite, sure it’s subtle to touch but way too “fragile”, this is one of the reasons you won’t see them on footwear.
A leather jacket for everyone - Yes! , Maybe!
A 5000$ jacket for everyone - No!
I wouldn't say for everyone, because you can just outright disrespect it, but there are other alternatives like denim or cotton coats etc.
😂😂😂
ikr you can get a gucci one for less
5k not a big deal....
You can get one for 50 dollars in India and spend 4950 seeing the world
Ladies and gentlemen,she blinked at 5:39 .

She blinked at 6:46 right after I read this comment
I love handmade stuff even if it's too much for me. if I can't afford a thing I don't buy it and I don't cry about the cost because that it's the handmade value, the opposite that many people do in Bloomberg comment section lol :D
Music Pills You are wrong which is why your comment got so many likes from the same comment section you insulted.
@@sebastiansosa3072 I'd like to be wrong about it, but you realize it by scrolling down 😁
Pretty much all clothes are ‘hand made’ just in sweatshops
You can still afford handmade from other countries where labor doesn't cost as much with similar or higher quality
I am from kanpur, india, and a jacket like the one above is approx $100-200 custom made, depending on the type of leather used.
She keeps on saying "we" but I don't see anyone else working.
She's talking about her other personalities
Lololololol
She is referring to the voices😁😁
She and her friend singer
😂😂😂
People who complain about how much it is are missing the point. The old saying is so true: cynics know the price of everything and the value of nothing. She’s a craftsman. Pure and simple. Probably not the friendliest - who cares. Her intensity and the work it produces speak for itself. Could I afford one of her jackets? Not easily. But I don’t have to be able to own a piece of art to appreciate it - not only the piece itself but the skill and passion that authored it. I love that she cares deeply about her vocation.
Never had a leather jacket. this video makes me want to own one. A very personal one.
look at schott NYC they made the original biker jacket and are also not tooo expensive
i recommend belstaff.
buy from latido leathers, Nepal.
My son has a Schott pea coat... warm, long lasting and perfect for cold winters.
Same here
An appreciation for hand crafted leather goods is hard to come by, most people would pass this off as crazy because they can get one cheaper. But you will never be able to make your own leather jacket of this quality on your own. No matter the price, if you can find people who appreciate your work and support it, that's a beautiful thing for everyone involved.
You have changed the way I thought about leather jackets. The details and craftsmanship , the warm hearted effort you put in creating a person skin that is made to the individual personal fit is amazing .. I wish I could afford to buy from you .. maybe in another life time. .. keep up the great work .. Love it. ..
i really love these videos, because you can see why this products are so expensive, because there is a lot of work behind it, there is love and passion for the work they are doing. simply marvelous
El Catrin C Check out Kam Ma Leather Garments Workshop as you can see some short videos there too.
For anyone inquiring about the price. Jackets start at 5k. Average jacket price is 6.5k dollars.
Miss me with that rape price
That's so not worth it. The green one that the guy is wearing is a bit ugly imho.
Lol, I got a 60 dollar leather jacket in Leon, Mexico 15 years ago, it's still my favourite jacket, and it looks way better than the one she made, I also have an american brand jacket I bought on sale for 200 bucks, its nice but not even close.
it better suck n fuck me for 5k
Bad Xerge I was just going to type the same thing I have several jackets from Leon Guanajuato Mexico some of the best quality for the price great styles people always say they look super expensive they don't believe me when I tell them what I paid
Luxury goods are not always worth the money, but there are 3 things : A suit, a pair of shoes/boots and a leather jacket.
And watches
And coats. There are only 4-5 items worth the money. As for women, probably bags and high heel shoes.
Wrong. Only cars.
Ya forgot the swords

I share your passion for leather jackets. Your honest and real and you exemplify the feeling of owning and wearing a true leather jacket.
Thank you !
I love the passion in her designs the way she has so much focus when she is cutting and constructing the jackets I hope other will get a leather jacket made from her as she has a love for a great garment that is timeless and will last so long thankyou for sharing your great skills
4:12 My face when I check my bank balance
😂😂😂
😂🤣😜
Especially after you buy one of these jackets!
My face when you check your bank balance
🤣🤣🤣
after buying one of these
*Man. The Videography on this one is Stellar !!*
Fahad Nazir Wasn't it Cinematography? if not what is Videography?
Editing got to places I didn't expect haha freaking awesome
It’s actually a bit off in my opinion. Like there are moments where music didn’t fit and the broll sequence was off. Just my opinion
For people complaining about the price, this is bespoke. This is for someone who wants something that there is only 1 of, and they want to have creative control over every detail of the jacket. Many leather jacket makers will make adjustments in manufacturing for you, but only to a small extent.
Highly appreciated, the way you are passionate and committed to your work and uniqueness in every Jacket
I'm in leather, this is what I do. She does personal tailoring which is nice to have but I saw nothing remarkable about the materials or techniques. A truly high quality jacket will have moulded elements, not just sewn, to better contour around parts of the body. Machine embroidering the 'personal touch' made me physically wince. Great PR / Marketing video though. Wonder who you gotta (..) at Bloomberg to get one?
Would a tailor be able to add a silk lining to a leather jacket? or would I have to look for someone who specializes in leatherwork? I've never seen details like that and didn't know they existed. Perhaps for someone who works in the industry (such as yourself) it's not that exciting but I thought that silk lining and the embroidered flower is a cool feature (obviously not worth 5k).
Thank you! That embroidery was heinous!! Has she ever heard of stabilizer?? It was a muddled, puckered mess!
Do you have a site where you sell your work? I’d like to check out your jackets.
Yeah I had a tailor made (Michael Jackson knock-off) leather jacket made back in the 1980s and it included all the features (minus the 24k gold hot-stamp) she mentioned. The biggest difference I noticed from an off-the-rack Michael Jackson knock off was (obviously the fit, but also) how much softer and more flexible the leather of the tailor made jacket was.
Jealous much?
If they're $5,000 a piece clearly there's not a leather jacket for everyone
Bernardo Gaona Don’t be pedantic
Bruce Austen ya i feel like it costing 5 grand might deter from getting one
Unless the price stays the same despite inflation
That’s enough to get like a gold fuckin chain like goddamn
Believe me i can send you original leather jacket like this at only 250£ pure 100% leather jacket with custom design.
Loved watching the video and was very insightful on the making of a leather jacket. Each one different and fitted perfectly to each person's body size and style. I love leather clothing especially leather biker jackets and leather trousers/jeans. I'm always keen to add more leather garments to my wardrobe. Timeless pieces of clothing. I'm a size XXsmall and find it difficult to find clothing that fits me perfectly. I love lamb skin the most as very smooth and lightweight.
This is more of a documentary than advertising. Having worked with gold leaf, and other precious metal most of my working life, I understand the feeling of absolutely bespoke, and custom work, one of a kind. The high cost of the work is the price one pays for this kind of service.
Quality is something america once prized itself on. Bravo for her making something that lasts.
lasts? lol
Not many people appreciate this level of quality. It’s obvious this woman loves her work and it shows in the absolute art of the final product. Stunning.
as a leatherworker myself, i can appreciate the insane amount of work that goes into something like this.
She’s selling her customers a way of life. The jacket is just a product with it’s own history.
As a leather craftsman myself I think her prices are a little high BUT her skill and craftsmanship are well worth her commanding any price she chooses
Loved the video. Very interesting. Although I could never financially justify that kind of luxury, I can see there is tremendous training, skill, and passion put into the end product. That's easy to respect.
Travis Stockwell This kind of craftsmanship is fading out, especially in big cities. HK is a typical example and the tailors are struggling.
You see that Passion gushing out of every word she utters? That is simply profound and brilliant. Very few have it in this world! Damn, I love her and her jackets, of course.
You mean the vocal fry?
Relax lmfao.
That's not "passion", that's marketing.
lol
Indeed
I was lucky enough to get one of the Last Pelle Pelle jackets before closing up shop in Detroit. Cost me $700, but worth it. Full Grain leather. I can see the imperfections & scars on the skin/leather.
Absolutely nothing remarkable about these jackets, or her technique... especially for $5000
she's advertising herself. marketing I guess so she can sip martini in Paris haha
I'm assuming John Chapman of Goodwear would whoop her ass in a project runway type showdown?
You clearly have just discovered fashion, and art in general...
True but she is an artist that makes jackets. A rich person is paying for the experience of having her make the jacket. She says she only makes 4 jackets a month so that raises the price. The best materials and leather to make the jacket in the US wouldn’t cost more than $500. Of course the jacket maker has to spend many hours making the jacket. Here in New York City it’s usually done for about $1000-$1500.
Instead of sounding full of yourself. Please elaborate on how you can make a better jacket?
I could listen to this lady talk about leather all day... I freaking love leather
Hand made & High quality !
Jewelry job : it's impossible not to buy.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year dear
Bloomberg and dear
Friends !
ahh.. this was the video i was looking for
remember seeing it years ago, and enjoying the story
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
it's amazing to see how a leather jacket comes to what see in the stores.. I mean the process it takes, the time and the craftsmanship... watching this video would let you appreciate those jackets
Check out youtube of Kam Ma Leather Garments as you will see some short ones.
There’s something great about watching an expert at work. Beautiful product, and what a great skill to have
I love people that speaks about clothes like they're talking about deep topics. That philosophical face expression to talk about a jacket.
Its a beautiful thing watching people talk about their passion and artists doing their art
Wonderful presentation! Thank you!
I'd love to have one made someday...
I love her passion for her art. I think that price is worth it for a jacket as personal and well-made as hers
I am full of admiration for this wonderful and driven women. Love the quality and attention to detail.
Woman* :)
You people are easily impressed, I bet I won't find you on any world saving type videos.
@Uni Spectra You don't multiply the retail cost of the product being made to come up with the profit she's making. Factor in rent on her studio, the cost of all those highly specialised machines, insurance, 30% to the tax man, the high cost of premium leathers, silks and high quality notions within the jacket etc etc etc. Not to mention the cost of any mistakes, a bookkeeper, the ten years it probably took her to learn how to actually craft & design like that, etc etc. I think you'd find she makes a reasonable income and works hard for it.
@@NickJaffe oh you a dumb ass huh?
For her work..a deep respect from bottom of my heart ❤
Loved loved loved watching the artisanship! Amazing work!❤
I’ve watched this video 4 times already, and I love it so much! The story behind the craft and and how the artist works is amazing! Thank you for this!
Then these $5k overrated jackets are for hipsters exactly like you. The whole production process and finish was mediocre. Gold Branding? Now that's just stupid. It's always going to worn off.
Your weird
@@Daniel-vs7qm *you're
@@mrme4362 why so negative? no one cares about your basic ass comment.
Wearing my Savas jacket as I’m watching this. Pure art! Had it for 2 decades and many more to come!!
That chick isn't even 30.
She's very passionate about her work.. And the attention to details makes her products elegant.
I’m making my own leather vest. I appreciate your artistry, great work!
Is it just me or do you think this lady looks very similar to Billie Eilish?
Grown up Billie
She reminds me more of Sky Ferreira
No, Billie looks like this woman.
Thats what i was thinking the whole video
Billie on meth
Beautiful leather jacket but that guy couldn’t make it look cool.
The Black Tie Guy look at 2:25
The Black Tie Guy u are right his hair looks unwashed and hea way to skinny for that jacket
@@Minebilding it fits perfectly on him idk what your talking about look at some of the St Laurent models they are very skinny and it looks amazing
Doesn't have the shoulders.
The Black Tie Guy on his way to his IT job. Lol
Very impressive. Love your passion and the pride you have in what you do. 👍
fascinating. Great video. I learnt a lot on leather jackets. Wish you more and more success.
This is a very well done video across the board. It makes me want a leather jacket. It makes me want to go to work in my own personal armor. It really is inspiring. I'm about to start tanning a deer hide and now I have a little more inspiration on what to work toward.
I would never pay that much for a clothing item and that magnolia flower is disgusting though.
I'm sure you can find this level of quality for less than 5 grand.
Sure can, from a factory. Or make it yourself. Cant replace attention to detail for speed or price.
You can find higher quality jackets than this one for less than that.
@@AntHraXUltran00blet u need brand recognition to be able to charge 5k for a jacket, like Gucci, Louis vuitton, YSL... no one is paying 5k for some random lady on youtube's jacket
Beautiful, just satisfied myself envisioning my own custom-made leather jacket through this video.
I love the seeing artist talk about their passion, They're faces just light up with excitement. Its just beautiful.
@@AS-gf3ts 😂😂😂 What makes you say that?
Finally someone that is in love with leather jackets as much as I am! I literally have a giant closet full of jackets. Everything from the actual red leather that brad wore in fight club to a replica to the jacket Vin wore in XXX. I even have Authentic WW2 battle worn shearling jackets. I’m saving up now and I’ll be down there this summer and I’m ordering a jacket.
Did you get the jacket?
@@journeymiracles I didn’t I ended up finding a 1 of 1 unreleased oakley factory pilot leather jacket with all the SI type hardware. And I got it for much much less. My favorite jacket today. Sat in someone’s collection for about 15 years
i want one now but i live in Hong kong, too humid,.,,,
elevengiant same I want one too, but I live in Dubai even worse than Hong Kong
Hong Kong is way too hot to wear a leather jacket anyways
Huh is that a problem? We are doing fine with our leather jackets in Sumatra, I believe it's way hotter here.
Angkasa fine for you guys but I live in North America where it’s below 0 so my heat tolerance is not great when I visit SE Asia and HK.
H7 Lamb skin leather is light & nice mate. I don't think you'll have much problems with it in the night.
Im a bike rider , I have a Johnsons leather jacket from Polk st in San Francisco , I bought this jacket used off EBay , it was 150 $ its a 1800 dollar broken in jacket made for the SF PD Traffic div . The SF Red n White also get jackets there ... It has a pistol holster in the breast pocket ...
Very inspiring video!
I'm leather artisan and making leather jacket too. I love this video and I love her skill, she's very talented... ❤❤
Greeting from Indonesia
The Jacket cost more than the cow?
Old school craftsmanship binds wearer and maker forever.
If we use lambskin for jacket. Is it better to make the sleeve longer or shorter? Since this kind of skin could stretch out by the time and shrink if it touch water ( like rain)
Beautiful, great to see the passion and craftsmanship.
Idk!? She had the aura of Cara de Levigne..??
After cocaine maybe
What the fuck is aura
@Heber gonzalez a drug aaddict probably
Yes
Take on the world, by wearing leather jacket.
And that is the reason for spending your money on a nice sword or a gun instead of an expensive jacket
Z germans did it
Take on the world, by snorting crack.
You are a real artist . Very Beautiful jacket . Must be very expensive . Loved every step of the video . Thanks for uploading .
For $5000 I can fly to Italy, spend there 2 weeks and have 2 maybe 3 leather jackets custom made to my size, liking, color and style and travel, eat and drink for the same amount and with much higher quality Italian leather. Same thing in Buenos Aires or Barcelona, I had one made in Barcelona about 20 years ago and still looks like new, the leather is softer than a tittle and I also bought a La Martina leather jacket which they fixed to fit me perfectly in Buenos Aires and both look far better than these overpriced jackets from this robocop chick
I’ve done this but in Spain
@@kimjong-un4411 I did too in Barcelona. I still have a beautiful black leather jacket I had custom made for me for probably $400 about 20 years ago and I have used it a lot and it is as soft as could be and looks as goos as new.
Yep, My wife did that in Buenos Aires 15 years ago and she still loves it. I regret not doing for myself.. Next time I go there, I'll do the same. I'm very tall so I need to get a bespoke jacket since ready to wear will never fit me right. $5k for a jacket it's a joke. I get that she has a very small run but still.
Migelo you are dreaming brother
As a person who lived in Rome, I promise you that you will not find such a shop
EXACTLY 😂 RIGHT MAKE A COSTUME BOOTS AND NICE JACKET ON MEXICO 👌 AND STILL HAVE MONEY FOR FUN
That was amazing how she was really into making this such beautiful piece.
Im not one that notices hair too often but damn this lady needs a comb!
She is an artist. Artist don't use combs.
Bacchanalia her decision to look homeless with that hair
It’s her aesthetic... I think it works
my leather jacket, with which I am in the picture, is more than 20 years old, and it gets more and more beautiful over the years !!! 😀
Its a beautiful eautiful work of art aesthetically. Keep it up 👍
I thought it said $5 luxury jacket when I clicked on the video
I’ve never wanted a leather jacket more in my life.
can somebody tell us what song at 5:00
Great video and insight into your art
I wasn't impressed with the finishing product
The stitchings were crooked
The leather was ugly
blad90 a completely bespoke jacket is cheaper than this
Yea, also the sleeves very too short for the tall dude LOL
I'm pretty sure that signature curve being higher in the back and lower towards the front works for women more than men. Especially with how little movement leather has compared to other fabrics, it would shift up on a guys rear end and most don't prefer that
She makes me want to wear my leather jackets every day.
Hi
The most impressive thing about your video is your passion. Awesome 👍 👌
Way to go ... You're a perfectionist.... I grew up in one of the oldest cities on earth, Alexandria, where wearing leather jackets is a traditional thing and it has been like this for thousands of years ...
Not even 2 minutes in and I'm so sold on this idea that I think that I need to learn this trade...
@Johnathan Myers The only problem is I am stuck living in a car :/
8:29 Is the date included in her price?
Got a bespoke calfskin jacket in Florence cost me only $2k. An absolute steal
Really cool. Loved watching this. Like her work. And attitude. Love moto jackets. My fav.
When you factor in the amount of work, dedication and precision that is put into a handmade item, you know the cost has to be steep. These jackets are meant to last decades and a lot of wear and tear goes into them.
silver70 true but I still wouldn't buy one for this price
I got a news flash for you. ALL leather jackets are hand made. The off the shelf jackets in standard sizes are hand made but on a larger scale production basis. They are all made by skilled cutters and craftsmen/women who are specialists who make all the parts of the finished jacket. Take a look at the websites and You Tube videos for Aero Leather Clothing in Scotland and Schott in New York to see how their handmade production produces fantastic leather jackets in the $500 to $800 for most of their styles.
people who feel her jacket:
nobody: "oH My GaWWddD WhAt iS thAt??"
LOL
xsenpaii best joke
Ikr😂😂
You like it? Its 12 yr old human skin
I really like this jackets, I just don't like ordinary jackets that is common n which every people can wear,,, these are the masterpiece I really do like it.... What a work,, these jacket really looks stylish, classic n luxerious too..great work
I love how passionate and knowledgeable she is about her craft. I aspire to achieve and surpass that level with my own passion one day.
lol joker
I read it in history book when I was in 9th
Mass produced clothes by machines are cheap
Hand stitched /made clothes are expensive
Not quite that simple
She gives me the creeps, she didnt blink a single time.
2:23 and 5:39
thank you lol@@Tullymastully
Wow sooo scary
bruh she's under the influence
6:52
I really respect your beautiful work
I sometimes wonder if there are pieces of pure leather tailored jacket or not🙌🙌
Best ad I ever seen def got me sold on one
I used to work in a luxury leather goods factory, and to cut my leather sections and interior sections, i used a computer guided plotting machine or a press and die pattern. This woman is just doing the work of about 6 different people, all by herself. Thats why it takes a week to make one unit. Is it really that much better than an off the shelf jacket? Probably not, but there will always be pretentious douchebags who ride “vintage bikes” with half faced helmets who want the world to know they can spend big money on a conversation piece.
" but there will always be pretentious douchebags who ride “vintage bikes” with half faced helmets who want the world to know they can spend big money on a conversation piece."
In the end of the video this is the only thing a could think.
Yeah it's why this stuff is made overseas. They are fitted though
Off the shelf leather jacket will not fit quite the same as a tailored one. For $5k, in my view, the experience of having someone measure, design, cut, finish all by hand from start to finish and with input from customer is totally worth it. There are plenty of stupid amount of manufactured products in the world where you can blow off $5k on. This is actually not a bad way to spend the money if you have it.
Dude you get to choose the leather get it custom fit to you and made by hand. This is like the finest craftsmanship you can find these days for fuck's sake people in Japan spend $35,000 for bonsai scissors to cut their bonsai trees. But the most important thing here is that they're happy it's their life they should live life how they see fit. You're the craftsman of your life you shape your life how you see fit.
Devin Perez hopefully u will have a brand yourself one day but not working for others. Douche bag
WOW: This lady is Intenses! She like a Jedi Master of Leather Coats. Love it.
Awesome video. I inspire to make this type of Jackets.
how is this jacket style called? really thin and without much extras. I'm looking for something similar
