In Reply to: serious bike leather jacket any feedback posted by olli on Monday, 17. March 2008 at 17:54 Bali Time:
ago my husband had our friend Aristo make him a long line leather jacket.It was a rather detailed design & it only cost $100.The result was fantastic.I have also had a few very nice leather jackets made by him over the years.
I think my brother in law wears a Walden Miller jacket when he is on his motorbike but my husband's jacket is a way dressier version of it but then again Walden Miller do many different styles of leather jackets.
The idea of taking a picture with you or even referring him to the Walden Miller web page may be another idea.I think if you have a picture to take with you or can even clearly describe what you want that Aristo will manage to work out what you want quite easily.
Aristo is now back working at Mr Merry's in Legian - which is on the corner past MBR & just around the corner from the fairy shop.It's right near Bali Coconuts hotel & before you get to Poco Loco.Merry's Collections Ruko no 6,Jalan Padma Utara phone +62 81 338 353167 mobile or email ariskuwa@yahoo.com.au
You could maybe contact him before you leave & send pictures or examples & ask about pricing in advance.
Make sure you say you definately want to see only Mr Aristo himself,even if Mr Merry says to see other staff - just say Mamma said only Aristo.They all know me so will understand why - it's because Aristo is basically the best there !I am confident if you saw him for your jacket you would be very happy.Many forumites have been pleased with his work & have become repeat customers.
If you do go to see him please say that Mamma sends her fond regards.
BTW - Aristo is also wonderful at making any sort of men's or ladies clothes.We have bought many varied items from him over the years.
