Black Heart Threadworks

Work is REALLY underway for Blackheart's "threadwork" division. The "Juki" is ready and waiting to be moved into the newly appointed sewing room. I dug out all my old "slend threadworks" materials including: 600 denier cordura (600 has a better hand than 1000), ladder locks, 2" side squeeze buckles, nylon webbing (various widths), nylon tape, YKK zippers with cord pulls, 2 and 3 bar ladders, etc... This addition to Blackheart is official because I just purchased a new pair of Ghingher (left handed) scissors. It's kind of a right of passage. This would be my 3rd or 4th pair of Ghinger's. Nobody's allowed to touch them:) Now i'm looking for my "hot knife" for cutting nylon webbing. It has been lost in the shuffle.

New Messenger Bag for Black Heart Bikes

Black Heart is designing a new messenger bag this week. It will be an all black bag with white graphics. Made from Cordura and YKK zippers and Nylon straps. The bag will be inspired from the old "Slend Threadworks" days in Flagstaff Arizona. The bag will be sold at black heart's online store from Big Cartel and some will be auctioned off on EbaY.
