This video was made in memory of my friend Cal Rider (1980 – 2019), who adored the leather style and everything connected with it... When we met, he admitted that he had been watching my videos on YouTube for a long time and really appreciated this kind of "Leather TV" (how his named it). Rest in peace! And we will remember you fashionable and bold, covered in leather, like the hero of the film "Mad Max" (1979) #gear365 #calrider

#encuirnotes Who are you, a guy in leather? A strict investigator from the authorities or a reckless bandit? A hero of a fictional matrix, a fashionable singer on stage or just a biker? And what kind of character are you? What does this leather outfit of yours say about you?
Distant Universes, dark worlds and closed subcultures recognize leather clothing as one of their attributes. And for good reason. The unique texture of leather with its characteristic shine, creaking and smell very clearly declares the person who put it on.
Leather raincoats and trench coats, leather trousers and vests, boldly cut according to unusual patterns, create unique images of rulers and villains.
An artist on stage gets the crowd going with his energy and leather jacket or a leather blazer reflecting the shine of the spotlights.
Law enforcement officers who go to crime scenes every day prefer to wear practical and comfortable clothes. How can they do without a good leather jacket, which gives the investigator a moderately stern and businesslike look.
If we talk about leather in the criminal community. Let's be honest, maniacs and other marginalized people do not wear leather. They try to be as inconspicuous as possible, and shiny leather will definitely not mix them with the crowd. Only bandits from the highway can afford leather outfits, because they do not hide themselves and, on the contrary, want to be known and feared.
Finally, bikers appreciate the practical qualities of leather. Not all. Some of them fundamentally choose equipment made of durable cotton and synthetic fabrics instead of leather overalls, jackets and pants. And those who chose leather, love it for everything! For ease of care, and for durability, and for the unique powerful image of a biker in "armor", which only leather can create.
Put on a leather jacket and sunglasses and you're a hip kid in the hood. Add a chain around your neck and rings and you're already a shady guy on the police's hook. Put a leather wallet over your sweater that looks like a shoulder holster for a pistol and you'll be mistaken for a cop. Wrap yourself in a long coat and you're Neo from the Matrix. Add a hat and you're an intellectual from the theater.
So many intersections and such a fine line between an aggressive leather look and a practical fashionable look. But no matter what fashion dictates, no matter what the crowd demands, leather is always chosen only by connoisseurs who are not indifferent to it.

#encuirnotes Let me try on your jacket!
“Your order: Whopper without onions, fry potatoes, black tea and... let me try on your jacket!” - the cashier at Burger King said in one breath, quickly filling out the order and catching the long check with a deft movement.
“What did you say?” – I asked again, not believing what I heard. A young guy with sparse light stubble also boldly and clearly repeated:
“Let me try on your jacket? Did you make the stripes on it yourself?”
“No, it was already like that...” I answered, embarrassed, examining my jacket, as if I was seeing it for the first time.
“Looks very cool!”
“Thank you,” I quickly muttered and took the order.
I walk away, smell a Whopper, and I think, well, the guy, of course, boldly addressed me like that, I would have been stressed out myself by asking about the jacket like that. At most, I would just blurt out something about “you look great.” And here it’s like entering personal space. Who knows what kind of reaction there might be? They will send you aggressively, for example. A stranger, a cash register, a crowd of people... Well, of course, he was joking, but not everyone will understand the joke.
And if, in essence, what does it mean to let someone try on a leather jacket? The girls there often borrow each other’s dresses to try on. Wear on a date. Yes, this is not uncommon among guys either, especially if relatives, brothers, live together. Why not put on your father’s cool leather jacket and go for a ride so that your friends can check out how the jacket shines and creaks, the main thing is not to say that it’s your father’s. There's something about it. How to share dumplings, how to let them play the Play Station or borrow headphones. There is some kind of unity at this moment: you are like a brother to me – after all, we like the same thing.
Of course, there is a risk that the headphones will not return, or the father’s jacket will tear on a nail on the bench. It will be offensive for the thing and unpleasant to realize that your friend-brother-son is a bit of a slob.
I bought this bomber jacket on eBay, there is a cool seller called House of leather, there are a lot of cool jackets of different styles. This thing immediately grabbed me, it’s powerful, but made of soft thick leather, insulated, but with holes under the sleeves, for the ventilating, I don’t know. There are also stripes on the jacket, the kind of military badges and paraphernalia that the cashier asked about at Burger. From behind, the leather back generally looks brutal, like a straight jock, although I am not a jock at all. But I love bomber jackets for this, they make the torso and shoulders look wider and the belly is not visible. In general, not a jacket, but a treasure.

#encuirnotes Where to find and how to make content? (part 2)
Of course, if it's a cool series, expensively filmed, you can watch it from start to finish. And here you just need to take notes, in which episode, in which scene there are interesting shots. And then, based on the notes, quickly put everything together.
Well, the easiest thing to prepare material for, if you again focus on timing, is cinema. One and a half to two hours of video material that you can watch in detail and choose the most striking shots.
And a little about the editing process. First, the video sequence is assembled. Moreover, I try to dance from the image, collecting it gradually. If the material contains scenes where the hero is without outerwear, then we start with them. If there are scenes where the hero gets dressed, then we start with them. That is, the image needs to be assembled in the literal sense, to show how it looks in parts: first the hero indoors in pants and a shirt, for example, then the hero on the street, already in a jacket, etc.
If the hero has several leather looks (and this happens), you have to get by. The easiest way is to put together several videos for each image. But it is better to combine similar images into one scene and create an idea of the style in one video. After all, it is clear that the hero is one, and he wears leather for one reason (an idea of the era or the character of the hero). And several images are just the costume designer's fantasy.
When the video sequence is assembled, I begin the most unloved, but necessary technical work. It is difficult to watch the video without sound, as if something is missing. And the sound that is obtained after assembling the video sequence is a mix of scraps of lines, music and noises that will only spoil the impression. Therefore, you have to... redub the video. That's right! Where the hero still says something, you need to substitute intelligible lines, sometimes taken from completely different scenes. And all the rest of the sound is done anew!!! This is necessary for the video to become integral. So that there is no feeling that this is a rigid cut. To do this, new music is added to the soundtrack, street noises, indoor noises, etc. are added. And in some moments, ... leather is voiced!
To emphasize the image and create an even more voluminous picture with the help of sound, I add creaking leather when the hero turns, sits down, gets up or walks. Not always can I do it well. This causes a lot of difficulties. But I have room to grow. The sound bank is constantly replenished so that there is a good noise for any occasion. Leather can also be different: bikers have one, lords have another.
When the video is redubbed, there are little things left: color correction, covers and description. Of course, these are not little things either, because some films are so darkened that you have to brighten the picture. And if the material is good, then you just want to make a cover from each frame. Well, you also have to work on the description, somehow try to analyze why the costume designers dressed the hero in leather?
Thus, brick by brick, a new work is born, not of art, alas, but of some kind of creativity!

I'm Sasha and this is my leather affairs. Welcome!
You know, a leather jacket on a guy, and especially leather pants, is not just clothes, it’s a whole subculture revered by rock stars, bikers and rebel heroes from movies and series. Leather is an ancient material, expensive in the dressing and practical to wear, favorable stressing the beauty, strength and sexuality of a man. No wonder the medieval kings and then the military dressed in leather. Today every leather male image costume and fashion designers used to create cult characters, in which I try to sort through this blog!
