Facts: 

 

On May 3, 2023, famed west coast based rapper DJ of Blubucksclan wore a customized leather jacket created by Tim Moore (WaveGod)

 

Words from the Wave :

 

I was honored to have one of my favorite rappers wear a customized leather jacket made by me. I think Bluebucks is by far one of the best rap groups ever so I was happy to to have them be apart of my story when it comes to leather jackets. Realistically if you look at it, if I was to stop making clothes, I’d be good. All

NBA players tapped in. My favorite rappers as clientele. GQ love. LeagueFits love. Obviously I want to build this brand to have the same cultural impact as Pelle or Avirex or even from an independent standpoint , Jeff Hamilton . With that being said though, if I stopped today I’m happy with what I’ve done. Just makes me wonder what’s next.

Why Behind the jacket:

 

The key was creating a jacket that wasn’t the traditional detailing of a leather jacket that you would usually see. I wanted it to be like a canvas or like the thumbnail for a super ill cartoon. So I wanted to create a piece of art that would tell a story that also looks good . I remember the main influence behind the jacket was actually the “FROM THE WESTSIDE WITH LOVE 2” album cover by Dom Kennedy and I wanted to pay homage to Nipsey hustle and Drakeo the ruler who is my favorite rapper. I will post the design notes and maybe some old sketches for it as well below

 

Ideal asthetic and How to style 

This jacket on body should restore the feeling of an early 2000s music video. You have to really know how to dress in order to wear this. Jacket is so unique and one of a kind, that it could be seen as Avant-garde. Your creative juices really have to take over. Overall though, the only people who’d buy this would have incredible style regardless.
