HBTV Deep Dive: The Ross Mk. 1

This time on HBTV: learn about the history and culture of the motorcycle jacket with leather guru David Himel. This episode covers the Himel Bros. Leather Ross Mk. 1, as well as jackets like it through history. Dave reveals the source of numerous leather design innovations, a little-known turn-of-the-century shop called "Leather Togs." If, like us, you're fascinated by the intersection between fashion, function, and technology, you'll love this deep dive into the origin of the Ross Mk. 1.
