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.

I wish it were longer at the bottom ....
If given the chance I would buy this same shirt again
Same exact color ."

"Quality at a reasonable price. You get what you paid for, I have no complaints. Fits perfectly and looks amazing. Im glad with my purchase. I definitely recommend you owning on of these Dugout Perforated Leather Jersey. Would make a great gift for that special someone in your life.
Thank you Crank & Stroker"

"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."

"I had a few questions as it seems that my measurements were "in between" sizing and received the most helpful and honest feedback directly from Andy (Owner)... Ordered a leather vest (looking forward to receipt) and bookmarked the website for future purchases!"
"Awesome material and design put into Crank & Stroker products."
