'I’m late writing to let you know the Oshwahkon you made for me arrived in FABULOUS FORM. An yes, its an absolute STUNNER … Flatteringly Refined, Resolute and eminently Sleek with a healthy bit of Ripped-Edge Swagger back-bred in. Its one HELL OF A JACKET and a literal compliment magnet… strangers on the street, cashiers, conductors, 20-Somethings .. and their Mom’s etc. etc.'

'Wow x2, at least! 1st, it was on my porch 35 hrs/39 mins after I bought it! 2nd, an unlined chrome tanned LW hippie/gangster/art deco masterpiece? Get outta here!! A mix between Empire State Building and 1995 Vinnie the Chin surveillance tape. I’ve moved from 9lb monster jackets toward lighter and this is it, but still 3oz impenetrable LW HH. I have a Bedford sz 46 canvas lined & know the fit and this is perfect! Super groovy! Big hippie smiles - Thank you, Jamaica, Queens!!'

 EAST/WEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS (East Village NYC/San Francisco) and OSHWAHKON (Soho, NYC) were trailblazing, custom leather shops that in the late 60s-early 70s became icons of out-there, era-defining style.



The inspirations for both companies were rock and roll and the Youth Generation Dishy hippie chicks making clothes for bands and boyfriends. Or Suze Rotolo sewing denim inserts into the bottom hem of Bob Dylan's skin tight jeans so they'd fit over his Beatle boots. Art, thy name is vanity and promotion.



Oshwahkon and East/West raised the bar with vanguard bespoke leather creations for well-to-do 'Uptown Hippies' and musicians with record contracts!

 Eye-catching. Elite. stage and celebrity wear. Trademarks of Hip. Expensive, always custom. For a Clapton, David Crosby or a Mama or Papa.


Our max cool Oshwahkon
'CROSBY' and East/West 'WOODSTOCK' recreate scarce jacketS from the Lost Worlds Collection -- gems of design, flash, originality and detail elan for awesome period and current in-your-face cred.


Very CSNY. Very THEN! Definitely not tie-dyed hippie with a sewing machine in a rusty van. Millionaire Laurel Canyon rock and roll cowboy Porsche attire. Serious leatherwear -- Oshwahkon designer/founder Alicia Herrera would achieve notable mainstream fashion success and fame in years hence. These bespoke hip companies would set the template for 70s Funk streetwear too as freedom of expression crossed cultural boundaries.



Lost Worlds reconfigures past and present -- not as fatuous Camp or stale quasi-Xerox wannabe-ism, rather fantastically cool synthesis, a new time capsule Monster!


Museum grade workmanship, quality and bespoke hides from our own American tannery. Without tampering with the original design one bit. Elevating it. Yeah, our workmanship exceeds originals. Sorry for the sacrilege! What is past is prologue for us.

Just check out the pics above. Be prepared for stares -- eye candy.

For those who can appreciate such.

- Unlined.

- One-piece Sleeve.

- Tapered Profile.
