Jimi Hendrix redefined sound, and Leatheracci gave him the clothes to match. Calvin Durham’s custom vests and stage gear fused London flamboyance with New York grit suede fringe, silver studs, hand-laced seams. Each piece was built to move under the lights, to catch sweat and spotlight in equal measure.
Hendrix’s collaboration with Durham marked the moment leather crossed from biker uniform to high art. His stage vest became an icon of liberation: wild, imperfect, alive.
Leatheracci still carries that energy, every made-to-order garment is cut with the same spirit that once rode the feedback of a Stratocaster into history.
