Holy Grail Items

It's unfortunate for me that many of my holy grail items simply do not exist (yet...) and they're mostly pieces I have dreamed up in a "What if I was a designer... scenario".

-One would be a leather jacket similar to this Tim Hamilton one except it would have a rich, deep reddish collar and have the Rick Owens wrinkled/aged look to it. It would also have the addition of several more zippers, a skinnier fit, and functional buckles to the point that, if I wanted to, I could buckle my arms down in a straight jacket style (just for the sake of saying I can).

-Oh, and a slim fitting v-neck. Impossible.

This is maybe the best part about being a maker. I can put (some) dreams into hand.

Grail item? White's.

I'm a bit jealous and I have always thought of pursuing a career in designing clothes but it's unfortunately not a practical one.

Curious, how difficult is the jump for what you currently do to shoe making? I'm sure it's a large one, but not an impossible one.

I don't know, exactly, but I hope to work at a shoe repair shop someday. It's something I'm really interested in.

I would cop the reverse color pattern of that jacket.

Oh forgot the discoball shirt which will be more of a spring cop.

A pair of Tricker's monkey boots in espresso. Only available in the Japanese market and not in my budget for the foreseeable future.
