What to know about Chrome Hearts
Started as biker leather for musicians
Richard Stark launched it in 1988 making leather motorcycle gear for rock musicians, and the goth-punk hardware vocabulary of that work still runs through everything.
Sterling silver is the foundation
The house language is cross, dagger and fleur-de-lis motifs in sterling silver, applied outward to eyewear, leather outerwear, heavyweight hoodies, tees, furniture and home goods.
You mostly buy it in-store
It stays private and family-run, with Richard, Laurie Lynn and Jesse Jo Stark on design and sales kept largely to its own shops, which is why prices sit at the top of the market.

| Jackets | true to size | structured leather cut | Leather outerwear tends to fit true to size; try in person given the heavy construction and price. |
