CUSTOM WALLET

Here is the new addition to the Black Needle all custom made wallet. From cutting to assembly and stitching, every single step is made by hand. I see more and more 'hand-made shit' because it makes it more real and probably more appealing to potential customers, this is the real shit! You don't buy perfection you buy custom product that will fit your need and yours only. This one is made with Haas French tannery cow leather outside and vegetable tanned Japanese cow leather inside, linen saddle stitches, just good stuff with endless warranty on it!

HOTTIE

Yes she is real, yes she is hot and her name is Helena Chan, the next Asian top model. Can I get my real kiss now Helena....?

LOU REED

“It always bothers me to see people writing ‘RIP’ when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop-out. To me, ‘RIP’ is the microwave dinner of posthumous honors” — Lou Reed

BACK TO THE B&W

It's not Friday but thats a good one to start the week ahead!! Rock baby Rock!

NBHD DICE

Another good party missed... Neighborhood and Dice Magazine in Tokyo for a special event. Sinzuke Takizawa and Deam Micetich behind the decks for a full night of cool videos, beers and bikes in Tokyo this week end.

MEGA-BITE

Thanks to megadeluxe and auto-bite for reposting my Daytona Triumph!

OCTOBER WILD

The Black Needle denims are in Wild Mag in France this month! Freakyrico met our friend from Bramby Design for a shooting and loved them!! They probably had some good drinks together and mixed up a bit as Bramby didn't designed these pieces but soon he will I am sure!! Thanks for the support guys. Check out the website THE BLACK NEEDLE, our BigCartel as well as a complete article by Denim Hunter.

CUSTOM SEAT

I use to do everything by hand but when a friend invite you to try a good sewing machine, it's a pretty good time to try! Second seat I made with a machine for a special project for Angry Lane. Result is pretty rad and I can't wait to see it on the special custom we build for mister black in Hong Kong. Singer songwriter and radio host you will soon get to know the man behind the project as the bike is on the final assembly! Soon on the Angry Lane website

CONVENTION 2013

First ever Tattoo Convention in Hong Kong was just this week end. Artist from all over the world, good art, good music, good time and good inspiration from the next piece I'm gonna get soon. Nic, Rob, the Start Crossed guys, Gabe, DP, Draf, they were all there!! I will definitely join next year to do some leather work demonstration with the Black Needle team! I keep your word Gabe Shum.

CRAZY MONTH

A lot going on for the last month, Angry Lane at The Hub, a new XJR based custom delivered, new custom seats, new custom belt, keyrings... You can also follow whats happening on instagram.

GIRDER THE OLD WAY

A great found through Briton Bees!! Mr. Jake Robbins back in the UK is restarting to produce Girder forks the old way, all casting and brazing made. Great job that would look good on the Daytona!!
