Kendrick Lamar

Recently Kendrick Lamar was in town, admittedly I have only started listening to his music in the last 3 months, but became an instant fan.

It was great to get him measured up, he also performed at London, Hammersmith Apollo wearing the Full Leather Baseball Jersey on stage.






































Its always nice to work with people, that you have respect for.

He was later spotted in the RSMA-1 Jacket, and also did a parody video wearing it. It seems he also has respect for what I do.

prints for SS13

From the research I did, I wanted to create some prints, to apply to cut and sew t-shirts. One of them was to do the perfect gradient tee, the perfect fade away.

I got some assistance from a Surface Pattern Designer to create what I wanted.

We had some initial problems, with digitally printing the gradient, then we tried the more traditional method of dip-dyeing. Still unable to get the perfect fade... we combined some techniques and created the desired effect.

The final outcome will be for your viewing very soon.



















Dont fade away.

SS13

.... is almost ready to show you all, doing 2 collections in the space of 3 months has been quite tricky, especially as im a one man team, most labels have a few people and 6 months. However its nearly done and its looking good..

Each season, will get stronger and stronger, as the use of different techniques are continuously being discovered.

SS13 is initially based on a book by Gregory David Roberts called Shantaram. An epic read and something I can relate and vision as it was based in my Granparents home town of Mumbai/Bombay.

Hope you are as excited as I am.




















Man of Gods peace.

Clothsurgeon x Givenchy

You may have seen an image a few posts back, of a custom made jacket from a Givenchy scarf. 

The scarf was carefully cut for the front of the jacket to optimise the beautiful Ricardo Tisci print. The rest of the jacket was made from Lambs Nappa Leather, the RSMA-1 shape. Elasticated leather waistband and cuffs, merino mix ribbing collar, silver inside jets, leather fly, zip front, and satin lined. This piece was made for friend and Music Artist Sincere.

Any queries on a bespoke/custom piece please contact Rav, ME :)





Make what you want from whatever you want.

AW12 Final additions.....

Boiiii

There has been a nice positive response to the brand since it has launched, and for a Designer/Owner that means alot that hits the target market it was intended to.

Recently Big Sean wore the waxed leather sleeve sweater. Shout out to April Roomet, Big Seans stylist and also makes some amazing custom pieces, it seems great minds think alike.

Leather Sweatpants.

From the debut collection, I would say my favourite piece is probably the leather sweatpants. Inspired and based on iconic 80'S Hip Hop act Run DMC, I decided I want to make a full leather tracksuit. I actually own a full Adidas one, but having a weird loyalty to brands I never wear it. If I wear jeans I wear Levi's, if I wear sneakers they are Nike.

From that shape I tapered the leg, making it a more modern fit, and fully lined with elasticated leather waistband. Finished off with black on black Ri-Ri zips, subtle finishing addition to a quality piece. 

Excuse the poses, I was young :)




















To BUY.

December Drop

December Drop was shot today, unfortunately the weather was terrible and pieces were. Ollie Adegboye managed to get some good imagery and the pieces should be online soon.

These pieces were made to finish off the AW12 Collection. The Shearling Bomber is one beautiful piece.
