Walter Leather: Wearable Speed Art

by Michael Satterfield

Stephen Hernandez of Walter Leather brings old-world craftsmanship to every item that he produces under his namesake label. This includes one-off creations for some of the world's more discerning automotive and motorcycle collectors. Making each item by hand gives each garment level of quality that few other jackets can claim, with each jacket made to customer's specifications each jacket is a handcrafted one of a kind piece of wearable art. I met Stephen at a fashion event where he was displaying his latest collection of jackets, bags, and leather accessories.


The quality and unique styling have made Walter Leather the jacket of choice for many celebrities, car collectors, and major political figures (Walter's also make s a line of high-end hunting apparel).  To inquire about having your own custom jacket made, visit walterleather.com for contact information. Expect to pay between $1000-$2000 for a handcrafted jacket.
