I believe Chrome Hearts is one of the world's most expensive luxury brands. Almost all goods are made in America, but eyewears in Japan. As Japanese, I'm proud of having some of Chrome Hearts glasses.
@@joaopedro-bl1qx I've bought three frames so far, which cost about 500,000 JPY in total. And as far as I remember, I've got three wallets, two leather belts, and silver accessories. I don't remember how much money I've spent on Chrome Hearts... Everything is expensive, but do you know Chrome Hearts gives custmers plastic bottole water for FREE? (maybe only in Japan? idk)
I would like to see how quality would become if they would focus in producing only in japan, also how Levis in general would increase their denim quality if they start producing only in japan. I admire japanese craftsmanship
Never forget Harlem legend Juelz Santana and other Dipset members were wearing chrome hearts in the early 2000s as well, giving them early exposure to the street scene
This was very well doc'd. 43 years ago, my bride and I met Richard at our wedding. He was 19 and I was 28. He said we were cousins. I said that's BS because I don't have any aunts or uncles. He said he didn't either, but our grandfather's were brothers. We were both pleased to finally have a cousin. He's treated me more as a brother and friend for life. His fame and success has never detoured. You really do need to listen to Jesse Jo perform. She made her Godmother, Cher very proud to carry on a beautiful voice.
@@larrylee405 55 people understood . Including the owner of the account .. take a break & go back in time lol .. dip set era wit the skull belts , chrome heart belt chains , and all dat .. was when the blacks got put on it jus sayin .. but maybe u not into fashion heavy
Years ago when I heard of Chrome Heart was at my optometrist. She had frames for sale made by Chrome Heart...still have them frames today and always get asked about them. Nice video...thanks!
Rappers & so called minorities makes these brands..because everyone pays attention to what the HOOD is doing & the African American male is the most influential person on the planet.. we make shit cool & we make ppl want to wear shit..even when its not being designed & marketed towards us in most cases we still look better in the shit then they do..all iconic pieces of clothing right now is being run by so called minorities ppl line up every Saturday to buy an African Americans basket ball shoe they he can sell for until the end of time.. YEEZY need i say more..we need our flowers we influence thee entire world HIPHOP influences the WORLD
You know what...I’ve always known about Chrome Hearts because Karl Lagerfeld wore them almost exclusively. But I never looked into them...they have a very cool history. I’m glad I stumbled upon this video.
great brand I own 2 bracelets of theirs and a couple garments, sad that they worked with virgil, I wish they never had done that, it really burnt out the brand in a matter of a couple years. Their trucker hats and jeans are super played out, but i think their leather and silver stuff will be timeless.
Bro never rush your videos, when you take time to research and put it together it’s art m. Thanks keep it up, more videos like this one and the other 2 fashion videos
Before I ever got into fashion or heard of chrome hearts, I always knew that I wanted that grunge/rocker/ biker style. After getting into fashion, I was so excited when I found out about chrome hearts. It was my dream style realized. I love this brand so much. My only problem with it is that it really is overpriced. Don't get me wrong; their product is great quality and they don't outsource. An expensive price is beyond understandable, but most of it is too much. And I’m talking about the leather goods and silver jewelry, not the hoodies, beanies, or stupid cross jeans. I’m just mad lol cause ive spent so much time saving up for a bike and now its gonna take even longer to get a jacket lol. Its all love tho. One of the best fashion brands out there imo
No way Richard Stark tried to overexplain what collaboration is😂😂 you can hear the fame got to his head then, collbaration always foster from grassroot efforts not corporate monopolies😂
How some of the counts are low is beyond me , you do incredible work bro . Background music fits each video perfectly, information given is in-depth without being scattered or drawn out, and each segment has purpose which makes it all flow cohesively. If this channel doesn’t blow up I’ll be surprised cause you’re giving great content
Congratulations on the video project. Keep up the Great Work. I grew up with Richard in our hometown of Utica, New York Over the 50 years I have known Richard I have come to realize he truly a very kind , thoughtful and devoted father and husband. I am sure these attributes of his have played a major part in the great success he has built into Chrome Hearts.
well done mini documentary, but fr ppl don't know how long time this shit took for them to do many things from nothing, lowkey way. but Richard is still like ghost for most of the part, but I fw it a lot. he deserve strong credits, @@
Now it has become a hypebeast brand. People that dont know much about the history but knows celebrity wear it. They get clothing that spell out "Chrome heart" rather than being discrete as the brand intended.
as someone who has just found your channel (& wanna give insight because you're a newer channel) i can tell ppl love your " history of _____ videos". whether they're about brands or people they're very interesting, well written, edited etc.
My friend in Malibu was friends with Richard and I used to get free Chrome Hearts clothes all the time. It’s crazy to have watched from the very beginning. I actually gave away all that stuff but probably should have hung onto it.
Early /mid 200s my aunt was working in LA in the fashion district and she would get loads of bags of clothes and I guess they were new but not up to expectations so they were gifted..nothing but chrome hearts shirts, hoodies , jackets etc etc…I was like 12 years old
My boy HowCole is super deep in the fashion scene. We stayed in LA all summer while I released my album #RNSKI. I had no clue what Chrome Hearts was until I posted a Flick with a green varsity jacket he put me in only to find out Gunna bought it the week after: Then I learned the popularity and rare aesthetic of the brand: 💚💚💚🐐🤷♂️
Used to love this brand. I'm not putting them down I am just always looking for the next cult favorite. While mainstream is the goal for most brands I just dip out once that happens.
i’m over here listening deeply to the background music & i’m like this sounds like a song i know then i’m like oh shit this is bria’s interlude on piano
biggest only problem, isn't prices but the fact that for example on grailed is so many fakes items, even if they seems real. so truly hard to know, when is the right item to pick up
Personally, I don't view that as being a bad thing. It's one thing to rock fake yeezy, a brand that has become so ubiquitously recognizable by even non niche consumers, but at least for now, Chrome Hearts doesn't fall into that. I picked up two rings in soho at a vintage jewelry joint, and they're at least good enough fakes that I couldn't tell the difference. Even if they are fake, I'd still wear them; fakes of this quality are a compliment to the brand.
I can never fully justify their pricing and the levels that resellers go to, but I do heavily respect Chrome Hearts for pioneering fashion in different ways. It may not be my aesthetic, but without them, I'm sure there would've been many things that exist today that may have never seen the light of day! Huge fan of the channel though!
A whole vibe this brand is, I first came up with this brand with Dipset Jim Jones Juelz Santana. The Harlem flashy Rocknroll era of Ed Hardy, Tru Religion jeans and Chrome Hearts accessories. Specifically the Chain wallet goods. Years later as an adult I’m excited to able to afford some of the ready to wear. When I think of this brand I think authentic Malibu, rock biker looks.
The thing is chromehearts is genuine, it aint a company that tries to mimick the rock and roll style, it really is that style
exactly - a lot of people forget that now that its become so popular but I just want people to know they've been doing this for years, and they've been doing it better than anyone else
they copy their designs on levisn jeans and charge thousands for it

@@kekumoore7911 I mean it’s just a style, anyone cam wear it, but at the same time it’s part of a subculture

Another thing to note, rappers have also made chrome hearts famous as well. Where im from (nyc) the trucker hat and the hoodies are very well known
Rapper have always styled CH like shit. Juelz was literally the only one in the early 00s who respected the brand

This randomly appeared on my recommended today. I’m glad it did. Great content
Anyone know other brands like chrome hearts that is not a gigantic brand like prada but very high quality clothing
my respect for chrome hearts is way higher from this vid def investing in some more pieces
damn idk what repeated footage ive seen more , that bigfoot walking clip , or this man looking like a zombie
I don’t like high fashion brands but chrome hearts I absolutely love, it’s so unique
Is that *”Bria’s Interlude”* being played in the background? If so, that’s dope
