Original
Catalog from 1982!

Yes,
that's me on the cover! This catalog was hand made and printed by me back
"in the day", or 1982 as it were. When I was performing with Ded
Engine, we wanted the leather and stud look, but could never find what we
wanted. Oh sure, you could get a studded watch band from the truck stop, and the
local head shop had some little bracelets that were way too costly, so I decided
to make my own. I always wanted a belt like the one Rob Halford of Judas Priest
wore on the cover of their 1979 album "Unleashed in the East". Nowhere
could I find one! At the time, my dad had a hobby of making western leather
accessories, like wallets, belts, purses, and the like. I found out that I could
get the pyramid studs locally, and asked him to teach me how to make a belt, and
viola, I had one! I was then asked to make armbands and wristbands for the other
guys in the band, and were all set!
As the
band's popularity and exposure grew, more and more people wanted to know where
we got the cool leather stuff. One day especially, a guy named Bob asked us up
to his place for an interview in his magazine called "Sledgehammer
Press"; an underground mag printed from his house. He was also a big fan of
the band "Nasty Savage", and so called himself "Nasty Bob".
He loved us and gave us great reviews. He then approached me to make him an
armband of unique design. I asked him what he wanted, and he said "A little
bit of everything!" The "Nasty Bob" armband was born!
He ran
free ads in his magazine in trade for that, and the mail order leather business
was born! I started getting orders from all over the place, just from the ads in
Sledgehammer Press!
Well, as
our popularity, along with the commercial availability of studded leather goods
grew, the mail order business was put on a shelf. I still made new stuff for us
and our friends, but that was it for a while.
In time
the band slipped from the limelight, and my ex wife and I found ourselves in New
York. This was around 1990, and we discovered that there were little vendors in
many rock clubs around the city and the island (Manhattan and Long Island, for
those that don't know), and so we took Heavy Leather off of the shelf and
revived it a bit. We would end up selling bracelets and armbands in the parking
lots for extra cash, then go party! There were stores in the village that sold
cool leather stuff, but it was again pricey, and some people just bought our
stuff on impulse. It was good!
We moved
back to Michigan in 1991, discovered biker events and the Michigan Renaissance Festival, and the
rest is history!
Here are all of the pages of the catalog. Please bear in mind that you cannot
order from these pages. Although some of the styles are still available here,
the prices are not at all valid. If there is a style that you want, but is not
available, just contact me and I'll get you a quote!
