Fade Friday – Fine Creek Leon Custom (20 Months)

In LA, they call Kevin the patina pusher, the jacket jostler, the coat cruncher. Any leather jacket that crosses his path is bound to be corralled and broken. How did this reputation start you might ask? Just take a look at the coolest-looking resume you’ve ever seen: the Fine Creek Leather Leon Custom Jacket.

Worn for jusrt over 2 years, this jacket has been living its best life, functioning as an actual biker jacket. Kevin pretty much rides every day and has his trusty jacket with him at all times. Even during those classic and totally normal nights sleeping on the desert floor – it’s served as the perfect safety blanket. Surviving barrages of beer, motor oil, and ‘who knows what else’ stains, it always comes out on top.

The results are countless pages of honor and while completely awakening the grain and brown tones of the Japanese veg tanned leather, the jacket has also molded to Kevin’s body resulting in all those perfect crease lines which are surely etched for life.
