“They’re not scared of you. They’re scared of what you represent to ‘em.” This is how George (Jack Nicholson) sums up the essence of what the biker culture represented in the 1969 cult movie Easy Rider. Even though criminalised and drug-financed hardcore biker gangs still shake down our society now and then, a new and more civilised biker culture is flourishing in the Copenhagen area with workshops like Wrenchmonkees and Customs From Jamesville. Most recently, back in March this year Copenhagen got itself its very first supplier of “vintage motorcycle spare parts, obscure accessories and junk you didn’t know you needed.” And it’s the only supplier of Eat Dust in Denmark too.

This old radio actually works. Co-owner Lau is a bit of a magpie and he picked it up for a few ducks somewhere out in rural Denmark.

As almost any else in the shop, the armed bandit is vintage dating from the 60s (or something like that).

Thomas got into denim through a keen interest in manufacturing and a love for the well-faded jean. He's based in Copenhagen, Denmark, but he travels as much as his job allows. Through Denimhunters he has found a way to share his passion with likeminded enthusiasts while learning more about the blue fabric. Thomas' favourite jean is the 1947 501XX and he has a soft spot for Red Wing Shoes.

    If you can get your hands on something from Eat Dust you really should! The stuff is incredible! A month or so ago I was lucky enough to pick up one of their Bloodline Vests, you can see some more detailed shots here:

    and just the other day I was even luckier to pick up one of their limited edition 673-W jackets. I have not had the time to take any shots of this yet but I will try to soon and post up a link.

      Hi Matt, you’re absolutely right. The Eat Dust Vests are amazing. ;-)
