Design Ethos

“If you want to be a designer, you better know how to make it before you start telling someone else how to.”

— Andrew M. Calogero


At Crank & Stroker, design starts with knowing how to build — not just sketch. Every pattern is drawn with the weight of experience: decades of garment construction, leatherwork, tailoring, and real miles on the road. We design like we ride — with purpose, without excess, and with a deep respect for the machine.


This isn’t fashion for the sake of fashion.

It’s gear with intention. Lines that move with the body. Structure that respects the ride. Stitchwork that speaks without screaming.


The design direction is rooted in a philosophy we call High-End Bastard — an unshakable blend of premium construction and unapologetic American attitude.

It’s not about labels. It’s about execution.


Think clean silhouettes and technical precision, built with heavyweight leather, purposeful detailing, and a focus on long-haul durability. But no flash, no filler, no fragile luxury. It’s the intersection of refined craft and functional rebellion. That balance — where quality meets attitude — is the soul of everything we make.


Born from the hands of a garmento gone rogue, our approach blends timeless tailoring with the no-nonsense durability of the best motorcycle gear — but make no mistake: this gear isn’t just for riders. It’s for anyone who demands more from what they wear. More grit. More soul. More substance.


You’ll feel the backstory in the seams, but we don’t design for nostalgia.

We design for now — for the guy who’s earned his scars, and expects his gear to carry its weight without compromise.


This is design with bite. Style with substance.

Welcome to Crank & Stroker — where High-End Bastard meets true American Badass.

The best of the vest

Hands down the best vest I’ve owned. This vest will be sun bleached white just like your bones before this vest begins to fray.

"The billy club"

"The billy club is awesome. The suede is perfect. And it’s a little heavier than the other c&s vest I have. I went a size down for a fitted look. Couldn’t be happier."
