Metal Studded Leather Products
An example of the art of customising to reflect your inner self outwardly, and one of the most striking embellishments adopted by different subcultures of all varieties: studded leather.
You can trace back the combination of metal and hide to armour worn by the Romans, Celts, or Samurais. Metal studs were a practical means to hold together panels of reinforced leather. It was not until the Middle Ages that their use moved from the practical to the aesthetic, when they were adopted on armour to appear more menacing to the enemy. Their usage in any context outside of war is a modern one. The stud’s appearance in subcultural circles as fashion adornments came as suddenly as the appearance of youth groups themselves.
The Bikers of the 1950’s and 1960’s were one of the first groups to use the studs, adorning their leather jackets with studs to complement the patches and chains to create a full on “Ton Up “look (Ton Up indicating the bikes being rode at 100mph plus)
As the seventies arrived, studded leather leapt into other subcultures. Judas Priest went from performing in bell bottoms and floral shirts to suddenly riding motorcycles in studded leather harnessing whips. The Heavy Metal devotees would in a similar fashion to the Bikers, adorn their jackets with studs, often framing the iconic patches of the bands that they worshipped.
Punks would take studded collars designed for fighting dogs and scour fetish boutiques to acquire studded goods. All to look threatening, which harkens back to the efforts made in the Middle Ages. The leather studded punk jacket was a piece of art and a fully studded jacket almost impossible to wear on account of its weight. Leather studded belts, wristband and chokers completed the look
One of the more recent uses of the studs has been in fetish culture- where military uniforms, armour and torture equipment were drawn as inspiration for s&m and the garments associated. Leather belts, neckbands or chokers, body harnesses and straps are often adorned with metal studs.
Of course we use Studs in abundance at Underground with over 500 studs used on some shoe styles and here in the leather goods collection.
Our Studded Leather Products are all manufactured in the UK
In our pursuit to proudly propagate Britain’s rebellious style heritage, we have turned up the dial on our responsibility. For nearly 40 years we have tapped into the riches and sounds of British subculture, so it seems fitting to give back to and help sustain that culture.
Since our beginnings in the Post Punk landscape of Manchester, a city in industrial decline in the early eighties, we have always been supportive of manufacturing in the Midlands and the North.
The Made in the UK collection champions this country’s quality craftspeople and the provenance of a long legacy of proven manufacturing. Made in the UK sees us work with skilled experts, leaders of their field, to help them preserve generations of innovative artistry and ingenuity. In a world where fashion faces off with the environment, Made in the UK creates sustainability, avoids senseless overproduction, and cuts carbon footprints.
It produces original products with a Punk spirit, traceable to its very roots. It supports local family-owned manufacture. Made in UK provides the fruitful economy for Britain’s creative underground to thrive.
