[LEB]

Hello guys, many thanks for all your kind words and your interest! It is truely appreciated.

Chinorlz:
I am using a special machine that has close to 0 seam allowance. Also all the seams are flattened with a hammer. That is why I do not use leather adhesive.

Correct, the leather jackets are unlined, at least for now. The insides is interesting to look at because you can see all my handwritten marks that help me put together the puzzle. (Picture from inside of a jacket of hammered seam with marks is attached)



Considering the manufacturer: I do not have one. Everything is done in my atelier. Tried to find one in the beginning, but stopped looking due to the reactions to my patterns.


Stockists (current):

Hong Kong (Hong Kong) – INK
Munich (Germany) – hide[m]
Cologne (Germany) – 0707 Blackwholestore
Desenzano del Garda (Italy) – TABO


addtional coming this winter:

Tokyo (Japan) – GULLAM
Chicago (USA) – Robin Richman
Gothenburg (Sweden) – W19
Moscow (Russia) – SV MOSCOW

Thanks for the explanation, Leon, and I am glad you will be carried at two SZ affiliate boutiques.

One of my road Dogs when i'm in Paris.......once of the most interesting designers in a long time and a really nice young man!

[Chinorlz]

Thanks for the photo and details Leon! Ah, I couldn't tell from outer shots that the seams are serged. Nice work!

I had to smile a bit when you told me about trying to find someone to manage the pattern construction for you... ran into similar issues very early on when I was initially looking for someone to produce the arterial seam shirts from my 1st collection... similar approach with 12 pieces per sleeve. It was a nightmare!

Next time I'm in Chicago I'll be sure to stop in at Robin Richman!

Leon, Thanks for the info.

I'm probably missing something/being stupid, but are the panels on those pants/jackets asymmetrical? If so, how does that fit in with the anatomical design?

regardless, I love all the pieces on this page. The leather used looks fucking exquisite.

Which hand do you use to write?
Where are your heart, lungs, etc?
Both eggs same size?
What symmetry do you mean?

The jackets fit like a glove. Tried one on in Paris, did not want to take it off. Sorry, don't know how to post images from instagram.
