NEW FOOTPEGS

Theses pieces always bothered me...too curvy, too bulky, 520grm per piece with ugly rubber rings?! Non sense on the Daytona bobber.. Now they are what they were meant to be, slim and sick! And the upgrade just got started..

After more than 10y in the same shop in TST, Take 5 Hong Kong has moved and for the best! Iron Heart, Studio d'Artisan, Redmoon, Kawatako, Mister Freedom, Pherrow's, Samurai... just name it, Benny Seki is the Japanese jeans specialist in Hong Kong. If you pass by the new shop 17 Cameron Road you will also discover one very rare 1920 Union Special 43864G from his private collection. Here is the website.

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

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
