These stunning pants come from the very early days of Chrome Hearts, before their transition into the billion dollar marketing powerhouse they are today. They are from an era when Richard Stark was running the label off the genesis of an idea given to him by some biker friends, specifically Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols and Duff McKagen of Guns n’ Roses, who wanted American made biker gear as high quality as the Italian designer threads they had become accustomed wearing.

Though thought of as a hype-driven label, it’s important to remember Chrome Hearts is quite likely the most important American leather brand of its time, aligning it closer to a mega-luxury version of Schott or Lewis Leathers, more than it has ever been kin of trend-heavy brands.

These specific pants use an ultra unique patent olive leather, and feature 5 cemetery cross patches.

Please note there pants are samples acquired directly from the Stark family. They were used as styling pieces for early photoshoots.

Condition: 7.5/10. They’re are 3 small tears in the backside, these pants have been like this since the 1990s, and were repaired in house at Chrome Hearts’s Los Angeles atelier.
