Jacket: Bess NYC. Source: Samantha West photography
Since living in London and now in New York, I’ve been lucky enough to catch some really cool street styles and I often stop people wearing something I LOVE and ask the question that I sometimes get asked myself: “Where did you get that?”
So I’ve decided to add a where-did-you-get-that profile to my blog. Every few days I will show a picture of someone I stopped wearing an item or items that I’m drooling over. Hope you like the idea?
First up is this student/musician I stopped wearing this jacket from Bess. A downtown shop in NY known for it’s incredible styling of clothing and shoes with intricate studding (see above Bess shots).
I would love to have this jacket in a shrunken fit version but it’s already made me consider studding the cropped motorcycle jacket that I already own (to add to the other posted items I’ve studded thus far).

HOT JACKET!
Tom Tuttle from Tacoma says:
sure it’s a great idea.
question: can you un-stud w/o ruining your things? what if one day you wake up and you just decide that you hate them, kwim?
Karen says:
Tom Tuttle – Thanks. Definitely will continue with the street style profile posts.
Yes you can unstud but you will leave behind very slim slits on the material/leather.
Valerie says:
I think that’s a neat idea. What tool do you use for studding? I just ordered from the site you recommended to me and got the “dart awl” and wasn’t sure if that’s a good/easy tool to use. Thanks 🙂

For the stud holes I use an exactor knife. Looks like a surgeon’s scalpel attached to a holder. To bend the stud spikes back in place I use a pair of small pliars.
I got the dart awl I think but never used it although its handy though to have.
Yea I’ll post a where-did-u-get-that style profile every few days.
