If 10,000 NY Biters buy a pair of vintage leather boots instead of new ones, we'll save the hides of over 1,600 cows and keep cancer-linked chems out of the environment.
Henry Winkler, who played Fonzie in Happy Days, was originally supposed to play Danny in the lead role of Grease, but declined the role for fear of typecasting.
Leather Chaps
The Bite
Is your chap lookin' for chaps? No need to spend years breaking in new leather duds - go for vintage instead at one of our fave local shops. Rue St. Denis has a huge variety of mens' clothes from the 1940s to '80s, including racks of leather jackets like a '50s European MC motorcycle gem (see photo) and retro two-tone leather shoes. (You're also covered if you're looking for designer leisure suits, by the way.) Lookin' for less Grease, more western? Head to Eleven: The corner boutique tucks away fab jackets, shoes, and belts for guys (and gals), with cowboy boots running as low as $50. Buying vintage leather saves cows' hides and keeps chems from new leather production out of the environment...there's a good chap.
