Himel Brothers x Self Edge - Heron Horsehide Jacket

We stumbled across Himel Brothers a while back and were immediately impressed with their Toronto made, repro leather jackets. Here they step into collaboration territory with Self Edge, a match that definitely gets our seal of approval. The Heron is packed full of amazing detail. The style is based on the A-1 (predecessor to the A-2 and one of the most beautiful pre-zipper models) as well as civilian/motorcycle jackets from the 20s/30s. Deadstock melamine buttons, WW2 Marine Camo lining, Vegetable Tanned Horsehide, stenciled spec numbers…the list continues. This Shawl collar gem is currently available in very limited numbers online.

Bell & Ross WW2 Régulateur Heritage Watch

Bell & Ross has always been passionate about military history, and particularly that of aviation, which made precise timekeeping one of its key navigational tools. The brand’s new Régulateur Heritage watch illustrates the unique parallel between the history of aviation and that of watch-making. Paying tribute to the timekeeping instruments used by bomber navigators in the 1930s and 1940s, the watch features Dubois Dépraz mechanical regulator with automatic winding, sandblasted steel case with grey PVD finish, black dial with sand-colored photo-luminescent coating and water-resistance up to 50 meters. By accurately reflecting period style, this model also opens a new chapter in the development of Bell & Ross design with an emphasis on the Second World War.
