this is the longest ad ive ever watched.
I've seen a 15 minute actuall ad on TH-cam.
Right? I feel like shes probably really cool but its hard to hear about her craft because she seems slightly annoyed.
@@Knatrick there was a dubstep ad that was hours long
During the release of the lego movie two I got an ad that was the entire lego movie plus behind the scenes stuff.
There’s 40 minutes Leica camera “most boring ad” here on TH-cam
She didn't blink a single time
5:39
Ankith Rai lmao
She blinked at 2:23
5:52
1:14
8:31 if she gives you that look, she's gonna make a jacket out of your skin lol.
Loool
Hahahahahahahaha
😀😀😀😜
hawt hawt hawt!
😂😂😂💀
Long story short:
She is a slow but skilled worker and her jackets have a slight downward curve when viewed from the side. Longer in the front and shorter in the back. Also you get a custom embroidered patch on inside. Everything else is standard jacket work.
Pretty much
But she fucked up if the brief included "rides motorcycle", sleeves are longer on bike jackets, stretching to grab the bars and having half your forearm exposed isn''t a great design. But it has 22k gold, so that's cool I guess.
She's also on coke lol
ThisIsSolution So pretty much a hipster who overcharges?.
@@seanbailey317 price or inflated pricing is dependent on what a person will spend on an item. If people want the item for that price then it's a fair price.
My opinion doesn't matter but i would not purchase in that price range, maybe 300-400 dollar range
"Leather jackets always look their best 10 years after you've had them." - Couldn't agree more. I bought my second leather jacket with my first salary around 11 yrs back. Amazingly it still fits like a glove and looks way better now than it did then.
I’d ask for the jacket brand but really I need your workout,
10 years fitting in the same jacket
@@abizitgill4310 ill bite instead. What brand ?
for 5k I want my jacket to look awesome right the fuck now.
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Impatient and entitled.
@@useyournogos6845 yeah, but understandable hahah
Love seeing that artisans like this still exist and are so passionate about their craft.
For 5k dollars, she would even make it wearing a thong, while vlogging it for the buyer.
@@jaydochaywalker8099it would sell
She nailed it. When I’m wearing my leather I feel protected. Been rockin mine for 30 years now.
@Rain 49 👍🏻
Hat off to whoever made that piece of art that lasted for 3 decades and it is still loved by its owner.
What leather is it made of ?
Cowhide/lamskin/sheepskin/buffalo/……??
@@hridoyabdullah5133 not sure really. I assume cow
@@hottotty13 How thick is it, and how’s the grain? That usually gives a rough idea on the leather.
I never had Buffalo, but my favourite is horsehide then cow. Lamb is definitely my least favourite, sure it’s subtle to touch but way too “fragile”, this is one of the reasons you won’t see them on footwear.
People who complain about how much it is are missing the point. The old saying is so true: cynics know the price of everything and the value of nothing. She’s a craftsman. Pure and simple. Probably not the friendliest - who cares. Her intensity and the work it produces speak for itself. Could I afford one of her jackets? Not easily. But I don’t have to be able to own a piece of art to appreciate it - not only the piece itself but the skill and passion that authored it. I love that she cares deeply about her vocation.
Ladies and gentlemen,she blinked at 5:39 .
Thanks.

She blinked at 6:46 right after I read this comment
An appreciation for hand crafted leather goods is hard to come by, most people would pass this off as crazy because they can get one cheaper. But you will never be able to make your own leather jacket of this quality on your own. No matter the price, if you can find people who appreciate your work and support it, that's a beautiful thing for everyone involved.
A leather jacket for everyone - Yes! , Maybe!
A 5000$ jacket for everyone - No!
I wouldn't say for everyone, because you can just outright disrespect it, but there are other alternatives like denim or cotton coats etc.
😂😂😂
ikr you can get a gucci one for less
5k not a big deal....
You can get one for 50 dollars in India and spend 4950 seeing the world
As a leather craftsman myself I think her prices are a little high BUT her skill and craftsmanship are well worth her commanding any price she chooses
Never had a leather jacket. this video makes me want to own one. A very personal one.
look at schott NYC they made the original biker jacket and are also not tooo expensive
i recommend belstaff.
buy from latido leathers, Nepal.
My son has a Schott pea coat... warm, long lasting and perfect for cold winters.
Same here
4:12 My face when I check my bank balance
😂😂😂
😂🤣😜
Especially after you buy one of these jackets!
My face when you check your bank balance
🤣🤣🤣
after buying one of these
For people complaining about the price, this is bespoke. This is for someone who wants something that there is only 1 of, and they want to have creative control over every detail of the jacket. Many leather jacket makers will make adjustments in manufacturing for you, but only to a small extent.
She keeps on saying "we" but I don't see anyone else working.
She's talking about her other personalities
Lololololol
She is referring to the voices😁😁
She and her friend singer
😂😂😂
I love handmade stuff even if it's too much for me. if I can't afford a thing I don't buy it and I don't cry about the cost because that it's the handmade value, the opposite that many people do in Bloomberg comment section lol :D
Music Pills You are wrong which is why your comment got so many likes from the same comment section you insulted.
@@sebastiansosa3072 I'd like to be wrong about it, but you realize it by scrolling down 😁
Pretty much all clothes are ‘hand made’ just in sweatshops
You can still afford handmade from other countries where labor doesn't cost as much with similar or higher quality
I am from kanpur, india, and a jacket like the one above is approx $100-200 custom made, depending on the type of leather used.
If they're $5,000 a piece clearly there's not a leather jacket for everyone
Bernardo Gaona Don’t be pedantic
Bruce Austen ya i feel like it costing 5 grand might deter from getting one
Unless the price stays the same despite inflation
That’s enough to get like a gold fuckin chain like goddamn
Believe me i can send you original leather jacket like this at only 250£ pure 100% leather jacket with custom design.
You have changed the way I thought about leather jackets. The details and craftsmanship , the warm hearted effort you put in creating a person skin that is made to the individual personal fit is amazing .. I wish I could afford to buy from you .. maybe in another life time. .. keep up the great work .. Love it. ..
This is more of a documentary than advertising. Having worked with gold leaf, and other precious metal most of my working life, I understand the feeling of absolutely bespoke, and custom work, one of a kind. The high cost of the work is the price one pays for this kind of service.
For anyone inquiring about the price. Jackets start at 5k. Average jacket price is 6.5k dollars.
Miss me with that rape price
That's so not worth it. The green one that the guy is wearing is a bit ugly imho.
Lol, I got a 60 dollar leather jacket in Leon, Mexico 15 years ago, it's still my favourite jacket, and it looks way better than the one she made, I also have an american brand jacket I bought on sale for 200 bucks, its nice but not even close.
it better suck n fuck me for 5k
Bad Xerge I was just going to type the same thing I have several jackets from Leon Guanajuato Mexico some of the best quality for the price great styles people always say they look super expensive they don't believe me when I tell them what I paid
*Man. The Videography on this one is Stellar !!*
Fahad Nazir Wasn't it Cinematography? if not what is Videography?
Editing got to places I didn't expect haha freaking awesome
It’s actually a bit off in my opinion. Like there are moments where music didn’t fit and the broll sequence was off. Just my opinion
She’s selling her customers a way of life. The jacket is just a product with it’s own history.
i really love these videos, because you can see why this products are so expensive, because there is a lot of work behind it, there is love and passion for the work they are doing. simply marvelous
El Catrin C Check out Kam Ma Leather Garments Workshop as you can see some short videos there too.
Luxury goods are not always worth the money, but there are 3 things : A suit, a pair of shoes/boots and a leather jacket.
And watches
And coats. There are only 4-5 items worth the money. As for women, probably bags and high heel shoes.
Wrong. Only cars.
Ya forgot the swords

Quality is something america once prized itself on. Bravo for her making something that lasts.
lasts? lol
I share your passion for leather jackets. Your honest and real and you exemplify the feeling of owning and wearing a true leather jacket.
Thank you !
I love the passion in her designs the way she has so much focus when she is cutting and constructing the jackets I hope other will get a leather jacket made from her as she has a love for a great garment that is timeless and will last so long thankyou for sharing your great skills
Not many people appreciate this level of quality. It’s obvious this woman loves her work and it shows in the absolute art of the final product. Stunning.
as a leatherworker myself, i can appreciate the insane amount of work that goes into something like this.
I'm in leather, this is what I do. She does personal tailoring which is nice to have but I saw nothing remarkable about the materials or techniques. A truly high quality jacket will have moulded elements, not just sewn, to better contour around parts of the body. Machine embroidering the 'personal touch' made me physically wince. Great PR / Marketing video though. Wonder who you gotta (..) at Bloomberg to get one?
Would a tailor be able to add a silk lining to a leather jacket? or would I have to look for someone who specializes in leatherwork? I've never seen details like that and didn't know they existed. Perhaps for someone who works in the industry (such as yourself) it's not that exciting but I thought that silk lining and the embroidered flower is a cool feature (obviously not worth 5k).
Thank you! That embroidery was heinous!! Has she ever heard of stabilizer?? It was a muddled, puckered mess!
Do you have a site where you sell your work? I’d like to check out your jackets.
Yeah I had a tailor made (Michael Jackson knock-off) leather jacket made back in the 1980s and it included all the features (minus the 24k gold hot-stamp) she mentioned. The biggest difference I noticed from an off-the-rack Michael Jackson knock off was (obviously the fit, but also) how much softer and more flexible the leather of the tailor made jacket was.
Jealous much?
Highly appreciated, the way you are passionate and committed to your work and uniqueness in every Jacket
Its a beautiful thing watching people talk about their passion and artists doing their art
I love people that speaks about clothes like they're talking about deep topics. That philosophical face expression to talk about a jacket.
You see that Passion gushing out of every word she utters? That is simply profound and brilliant. Very few have it in this world! Damn, I love her and her jackets, of course.
You mean the vocal fry?
Relax lmfao.
That's not "passion", that's marketing.
lol
Indeed
Got a bespoke calfskin jacket in Florence cost me only $2k. An absolute steal
She's very passionate about her work.. And the attention to details makes her products elegant.
I could listen to this lady talk about leather all day... I freaking love leather
I love her passion for her art. I think that price is worth it for a jacket as personal and well-made as hers
I was lucky enough to get one of the Last Pelle Pelle jackets before closing up shop in Detroit. Cost me $700, but worth it. Full Grain leather. I can see the imperfections & scars on the skin/leather.
I would pay 5k for it, because she looks like she puts a lot of dedication into it.
Loved the video. Very interesting. Although I could never financially justify that kind of luxury, I can see there is tremendous training, skill, and passion put into the end product. That's easy to respect.
Travis Stockwell This kind of craftsmanship is fading out, especially in big cities. HK is a typical example and the tailors are struggling.
There’s something great about watching an expert at work. Beautiful product, and what a great skill to have
That leather jacket has instantly given him the confidence to ask her out.
Way to go ... You're a perfectionist.... I grew up in one of the oldest cities on earth, Alexandria, where wearing leather jackets is a traditional thing and it has been like this for thousands of years ...
I’ve never wanted a leather jacket more in my life.
The Jacket cost more than the cow?
Loved watching the video and was very insightful on the making of a leather jacket. Each one different and fitted perfectly to each person's body size and style. I love leather clothing especially leather biker jackets and leather trousers/jeans. I'm always keen to add more leather garments to my wardrobe. Timeless pieces of clothing. I'm a size XXsmall and find it difficult to find clothing that fits me perfectly. I love lamb skin the most as very smooth and lightweight.
I love the seeing artist talk about their passion, They're faces just light up with excitement. Its just beautiful.
@@AS-gf3ts 😂😂😂 What makes you say that?
Wearing my Savas jacket as I’m watching this. Pure art! Had it for 2 decades and many more to come!!
That chick isn't even 30.
She makes me want to wear my leather jackets every day.
Hi
I’m making my own leather vest. I appreciate your artistry, great work!
Loved loved loved watching the artisanship! Amazing work!❤
Hand made & High quality !
Jewelry job : it's impossible not to buy.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year dear
Bloomberg and dear
Friends !
Old school craftsmanship binds wearer and maker forever.
For her work..a deep respect from bottom of my heart ❤
Despite all the negative comments, I loved the craftmanship, the videography and the post-edit.
Idk!? She had the aura of Cara de Levigne..??
After cocaine maybe
What the fuck is aura
@Heber gonzalez a drug aaddict probably
Yes
Take on the world, by wearing leather jacket.
And that is the reason for spending your money on a nice sword or a gun instead of an expensive jacket
Z germans did it
Take on the world, by snorting crack.
Im a bike rider , I have a Johnsons leather jacket from Polk st in San Francisco , I bought this jacket used off EBay , it was 150 $ its a 1800 dollar broken in jacket made for the SF PD Traffic div . The SF Red n White also get jackets there ... It has a pistol holster in the breast pocket ...
my leather jacket, with which I am in the picture, is more than 20 years old, and it gets more and more beautiful over the years !!! 😀
Not even 2 minutes in and I'm so sold on this idea that I think that I need to learn this trade...
@Johnathan Myers The only problem is I am stuck living in a car :/
ahh.. this was the video i was looking for
remember seeing it years ago, and enjoying the story
Loved her creativity and designing jackets
Beautiful, just satisfied myself envisioning my own custom-made leather jacket through this video.
That was amazing how she was really into making this such beautiful piece.
I'm sure you can find this level of quality for less than 5 grand.
Sure can, from a factory. Or make it yourself. Cant replace attention to detail for speed or price.
You can find higher quality jackets than this one for less than that.
@@AntHraXUltran00blet u need brand recognition to be able to charge 5k for a jacket, like Gucci, Louis vuitton, YSL... no one is paying 5k for some random lady on youtube's jacket
Very impressive. Love your passion and the pride you have in what you do. 👍
Wonderful presentation! Thank you!
I'd love to have one made someday...
I am full of admiration for this wonderful and driven women. Love the quality and attention to detail.
Woman* :)
You people are easily impressed, I bet I won't find you on any world saving type videos.
@Uni Spectra You don't multiply the retail cost of the product being made to come up with the profit she's making. Factor in rent on her studio, the cost of all those highly specialised machines, insurance, 30% to the tax man, the high cost of premium leathers, silks and high quality notions within the jacket etc etc etc. Not to mention the cost of any mistakes, a bookkeeper, the ten years it probably took her to learn how to actually craft & design like that, etc etc. I think you'd find she makes a reasonable income and works hard for it.
@@NickJaffe oh you a dumb ass huh?
i want one now but i live in Hong kong, too humid,.,,,
elevengiant same I want one too, but I live in Dubai even worse than Hong Kong
Hong Kong is way too hot to wear a leather jacket anyways
Huh is that a problem? We are doing fine with our leather jackets in Sumatra, I believe it's way hotter here.
Angkasa fine for you guys but I live in North America where it’s below 0 so my heat tolerance is not great when I visit SE Asia and HK.
H7 Lamb skin leather is light & nice mate. I don't think you'll have much problems with it in the night.
Beautiful, great to see the passion and craftsmanship.
Much love and respect!! ❤
I’ve watched this video 4 times already, and I love it so much! The story behind the craft and and how the artist works is amazing! Thank you for this!
Then these $5k overrated jackets are for hipsters exactly like you. The whole production process and finish was mediocre. Gold Branding? Now that's just stupid. It's always going to worn off.
Your weird
@@Daniel-vs7qm *you're
@@mrme4362 why so negative? no one cares about your basic ass comment.
This is a very well done video across the board. It makes me want a leather jacket. It makes me want to go to work in my own personal armor. It really is inspiring. I'm about to start tanning a deer hide and now I have a little more inspiration on what to work toward.
I would never pay that much for a clothing item and that magnolia flower is disgusting though.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
it's amazing to see how a leather jacket comes to what see in the stores.. I mean the process it takes, the time and the craftsmanship... watching this video would let you appreciate those jackets
Check out youtube of Kam Ma Leather Garments as you will see some short ones.
Best ad I ever seen def got me sold on one
I thought it said $5 luxury jacket when I clicked on the video
Is it just me or do you think this lady looks very similar to Billie Eilish?
Grown up Billie
She reminds me more of Sky Ferreira
No, Billie looks like this woman.
Thats what i was thinking the whole video
Billie on meth
couple seconds from 4:39 would be best horror/thriller ever. chills.
I love your passion for the art of making leather jackets:).
people who feel her jacket:
nobody: "oH My GaWWddD WhAt iS thAt??"
LOL
xsenpaii best joke
Ikr😂😂
You like it? Its 12 yr old human skin
She has the soul of a true craftsman.
A grand salute to her and her dedication..💯
Really cool. Loved watching this. Like her work. And attitude. Love moto jackets. My fav.
Surely, the most difficult part is to find a mug who'll pay $5 K for a leather jacket!
The sad fact for me is that I live in a part of the world where we HAVE to wear as light clothes as possible.
Very inspiring video!
I'm leather artisan and making leather jacket too. I love this video and I love her skill, she's very talented... ❤❤
Greeting from Indonesia
The confidence is literally like wearing another skin
WOW: This lady is Intenses! She like a Jedi Master of Leather Coats. Love it.
When you factor in the amount of work, dedication and precision that is put into a handmade item, you know the cost has to be steep. These jackets are meant to last decades and a lot of wear and tear goes into them.
silver70 true but I still wouldn't buy one for this price
I got a news flash for you. ALL leather jackets are hand made. The off the shelf jackets in standard sizes are hand made but on a larger scale production basis. They are all made by skilled cutters and craftsmen/women who are specialists who make all the parts of the finished jacket. Take a look at the websites and You Tube videos for Aero Leather Clothing in Scotland and Schott in New York to see how their handmade production produces fantastic leather jackets in the $500 to $800 for most of their styles.
You are a real artist . Very Beautiful jacket . Must be very expensive . Loved every step of the video . Thanks for uploading .
I love how passionate and knowledgeable she is about her craft. I aspire to achieve and surpass that level with my own passion one day.
lol joker
Beautiful leather jacket but that guy couldn’t make it look cool.
The Black Tie Guy look at 2:25
The Black Tie Guy u are right his hair looks unwashed and hea way to skinny for that jacket
@@Minebilding it fits perfectly on him idk what your talking about look at some of the St Laurent models they are very skinny and it looks amazing
Doesn't have the shoulders.
The Black Tie Guy on his way to his IT job. Lol
Im not one that notices hair too often but damn this lady needs a comb!
She is an artist. Artist don't use combs.
Bacchanalia her decision to look homeless with that hair
It’s her aesthetic... I think it works
nice work,thanks.
Beautifully done...❤
Looks like Conan O’Brien’s leather jacket he’s always wearing
she like billie elish but make leather jacket
Billie elish like her but make sing
There is art in that woman's eyes. I have only seen that look on maybe 3 or 4 people including her - I apprenticed to a master oil painter, have taken courses all over, study art and try to produce it - every now and then you find that look, somewhere between focus and dreaming.
Great artistry and work !!!!
