Already on the fashion radar, granted, but this new book of photographs by Karl Heinz Weinberger (Rizzoli 2011) is another chance to look at his innovative work. This unassuming part-time Swiss photographer meticulously documented the delinquent Swiss biker gangs of the early 60s. Swiss cheese this is not! The hard-edged homo-erotic portraits revel in the fetishistic detail of DIY denim and customised leather, the minutiae of a subculture that make these pictures pure fashion. Pre-dating punk and pre-empting the films of Kenneth Anger, the contradiction of the throwback 50s boys style with the 1960′s girls beehives and mohair, make this an essential and fascinating reference.
Just wondering if some one can shed a bit leather kidney belts of light on kidney belts. I do a bit of part time work as an earthmover. Some days I have no aches and at the end of other days my back can be really sore. Sitting on a digger is no worries but its when I spend a long period on the bobcat that it tends to play up. It was suggested to me that I think about a belt but never really thought about it till after work yesterday. I am still a bit sore now and its settling down ( spent 6 hours on a bobcat and about 4 on the excavator). Does any one wear one and if so what are your thoughts and secondly where can I buy one if they slow up the aches and pains.

How many times after a long run ie: E.D.R., Gypsy Run…. You woke up feeling like you got punched in the gut. Im sure you equated it to the amount of beer and burritos you consumed the night before , but truth is even on hermes mens belts a pristine paved road, there are dips, bumps, and motor vibration creating havoc on your kidneys… Especially if your riding rigid.
