THE CLASH

From 1976, the conception of the band The Clash, until 1979 there were hundreds of pictures taken of all four band members wearing The London Leatherman belts, wristbands and leather jeans. Here are a few pictures for reference:

The new and updated design of the LW3 Belt using 0.2 dome studs that can be threaded through jean belt loops.

The new LW10 Cuff design with 0.2 dome studs to match the new LW3 Belt above.

Bernard ‘Bernie’ Rhodes was instrumental in forming the band and was their manager until 1979 (and then some), he was also Malcolm McLarens close friend. We wonder who influenced who when it came to dressing their respective bands in The London Leatherman?

Never afraid to reference, this great picture of Bernie Rhodes sits well with the Hepcat Cap we recently produced in leather for The London Leatherman, as does the picture of Joe Strummer by Bob Gruen below.
