I hope to see you all there for what will be an epic night. A night that was born many months ago when Donwan (of PRPS) and I decided to collaborate on a limited edition jean run of 13 pairs of badass jeans for The Selvedge Yard called the Blackbird. What was the inspiration? The iconic ’53 Triumph Blackbird motorcycle, a sexy-as-all-hell Thunderbird offered for the first time ever by Triumph in all black. Also– the 13 Rebels MC, who inspired 1951’s The Wild One starring Marlon Brando who rode his own Triumph bike in the film. The Blackbird jean is handmade in Japan from the best selvedge denim you can get your hands on – 14oz raw chunky goodness that may out-live us all.
There will also be original photography by our friend, the extraordinary Scott Toepfer. The guys at Triumph Motorcycles were good enough to deliver an original ’53 Blackbird, and a sweet new Thunderbird, as eye candy. There will be beverages, goodies, music… oh, and we’ll give away some of these here jeans. Sound good?
Ok, see you there. JP
