WEST COAST LEATHER

“Because Giving is Always in Fashion” …… Design Director Skip Pas. Fashion Director and Company Founder Skip Pas has been in the leather business since 1986. Formerly General Manager and Assistant Designer while at North Beach Leather, Skip was instrumental in helping North Beach grow from a San Francisco based company to a global business and his expertise and knowledge in the leather industry is unequaled. Skip started West Coast Leather in 2003 after North Beach Leather closed down and has continued to grow the leather fashion business in his own unique way. Designing Leather clothing today is all about a special custom fit, tailored to the client’s needs. With the addition of jewelry, exotic skins, and technology breakthroughs in leather design, Skip and his design team continue to add new inventive collections every season. Since 2003, Skip and West Coast Leather have participated in and supported many charities from the San Francisco Breast Cancer Emergency Fund to the Fireman’s Benefit to help a local injured fireman, to the Wounded Warrior Project and Cher’s Operation Helmet. Skip and West Coast Leather continue to believe that “Giving is Always in Fashion.”

ROGUE

Established in 1999, Rogue began a men’s collection of updated classic outerwear with downtown influences. Built around the lifestyle of New York based designer Jimmy Reilly, the casual masculine leather and cloth outerwear collection rapidly gained prominence in top retail stores across North America. For more than a decade Rogue’s distinct identity, fit and market leadership inspired its designer to further develop the vision. In the Autumn of 2009, the scope of that vision was realized in the expansion of the brand as a contemporary men’s lifestyle collection. New categories include washed and wired woven shirts, soft comfy knits and tees, chunky sweaters, warm vests and creased slim pants. The A/W 2011 season will mark the launch of a footwear collection for the brand.

The brands identity embodies its classic beginnings with new developments amplifying the unique attitude and sophisticated style. Every garment is constructed and treated to have a worn look and personality. This unique individuality is achieved through experimental practices in fabric development and garment finishing. In the end, the Rogue’s perfect patina is achieved through specialized washing, dyeing and finishing techniques. The branded hardware, zippers, snaps and buttons are well engineered and finish each garment with character and superior quality. The untiring creative use of exclusive applications define the brand as exciting, innovative and wearable. The Rogue collection can be found in top department stores and specialty boutiques worldwide.
