CUSTOM FIT LEATHERS for Jim

As requested, I designed a large belt loop at the centre back waistband for his belt. Made with a Brazilian hide, these leathers are designed with two detachable linings: one with Cool Plus for warm weather, and a Microfleece for the cooler temperatures.

Leather EYE PATCH for Keith

The benefit of the showroom is that I am able to work on custom projects for great people. I had the opportunity to design a LEATHER EYE PATCH for Keith.
Always thinking...always challenging...always creating; that's what I love about my job.

BOB - Can you see THE SIGN

I have remarked, on many occasions, that many enthusiasts LOVE THEIR BIKES. Polished and gleaming, they baby their baby. So when Keith pulled up to the shop and parked his bike in front of my Showroom, I couldn't help but notice the reflection of my Showroom window in the paint on his bike. And, of course, I had to capture the image!

Designing the AVIATOR SUIT


Enhance visibility - that's what I'm thinking about as I ride in inclement weather. I was asked to design rain gear for a motorcycle enthusiast that was heading off on an expedition for a month. Parametres: lightweight, compact, visible, and must comfortably fit over my customer's own Motorrad gear. My answer: the AVIATOR SUIT (highlighted in the June 2008 issue of The Specialist). Here I am working out the design details of the sleeve graphic in 3M Scotchlite Reflective Tape.
