For those of you who have known me for years, believe me when I tell you that, I, just like you, had never would have guessed that I was capable of giving fashion accessory advice, let alone some REALLY great fashion accessory advice.
About a month ago I felt I needed a big HUGE leather wrist band, like the vikings or Conan type warriors would wear, just to mix it up a little.
I quickly discovered that the kind I had imagined, are not available anywhere. Sure, there were these little dinky ones about an inch wide, and they just didnt do it for me.
Then I found this guy on Ebay, his name is Freddie Matara, he makes custom leather wrist bands for movie stars and musicians. They looked really nice so I decided to try him out. Freddie makes each one custom to fit and can even design them with your specific features in mind (yes he makes wallets, belts and watch bands for both men and women).
This is mine, its 3″ wide and I just love it!
Check out his stuff!
It’s because you moved to Utah and you’ve been sucked into being fashionable. 🙂
This is incredible!! I’m allergic to metal and can’t wear a watch, this would be a really nice change for me!
why did want it so bad? just felt barbarian?
*you
probably because I am half Viking…
I had no idea big leather bands were in style. I read your blog and then I had to go to the Shops to look for shells for work. I stopped in at the Guess store and low and behold they had wide leather wrist bands in the men’s section. Of course they were nothing in comparison to the quality of the ones made by Freddie Matara. Just the idea was the same. Now if somebody really wanted to copy you, but couldn’t afford to, then the $24 price tag would be attractive. You could have the look, but not the quality.
Im half Viking too!!!!!
I checked out the store. Pretty cool bands. Gonna have to get me a pair. Can’t just have one. Might feel uneven, lol.
Im sure your heritage is slipping through and surfaces every once and again.
But there is no doubt your Long Man Arms can afford the illusion of shortening your length by 4" others are not so fortunate.
