Threads of Apollo - Leather Jackets You Deserve

Created by Wakkas

ToA is a men's luxury leather apparel brand based out of Vancouver BC. We understand apparel is vital in feeling confident. What we don’t understand is why quality apparel, like a full-grain leather jacket, costs half a pay cheque? It shouldn’t. and that is where we come in. We are a brand by flawed young adults for flawed young adults. For us this is personal. We want to help the only way we know how. We are determined in providing quality and fresh leather jackets at an affordable price.

New Style + ONLY 2 DAYS UNTIL THE NEW CAMPAIGN
over 7 years ago – Mon, Aug 13, 2018 at 08:33:43 AM

Hey guys!

With only two days left until the new campaign goes live. we still have so much to do but I am super excited that it is almost here!

Last week, we unveiled one of our new designs, the Odysseus "Bomber" Jacket. 

Today I wanted to share with you guys our 2nd new style....

THE PROMETHEUS "SHEARLING" JACKET 

will also come in black fur
will also come in black fur

Prometheus was one of the great Titans. He was the protector and benefactor of mankind. When humanity was going through a massive famine and was not able to offer food as an offering to Zeus, Prometheus had to make a difficult choice. To save humanity, he attempted to trick Zeus into choosing bones as an offering. Although this worked, and humanity was saved; Zeus found out he was tricked. He saw this as a disrespect and became enraged. He punished Prometheus by hiding fire from humanity. This act, however, did not stop Prometheus from aiding those who needed it. This time, he defied Zeus directly and managed to take fire back and give it to humans. Zeus had enough. He punished Prometheus by chaining him to a rock, where an eagle would eat his liver each day. Due to his immortality, Prometheus’ liver would regenerate every night. His suffering was endless, but he was content knowing humanity would live on. It wasn’t until the demigod Hercules saved him that his suffering ended. Prometheus would forever be credited as the true champion of humanity.  

Our shearling jacket is designed to be the warmest jacket of our collection. Lined with soft acrylic fur, minimalist design, two large main pockets and YKK zippers; this jacket is our answer to looking good on a very cold winter day. Whether small or big; acts of compassion and/or selflessness can make an enormous and unforgettable impact on someone’s life as well as your own. Imbued with Prometheus’ essence, let this jacket remind you value of helping others. Prometheus could have used his power for his own personal gain. Instead, he enabled progress. This gave him lasting fulfilment throughout his immortal life and the unforgettable respect of humanity.

But Wait There is More!!

We wanted to have gloves around this time as well, but we were not happy with our last manufacturer. We ended up switching manufacturers and also changing up our gloves in a few ways.

Let me introduce to you guys, the new and improved, Hands of Apollo!

1 Week To Go
over 7 years ago – Wed, Aug 08, 2018 at 08:32:52 AM

Hey guys!

I hope everyone is doing well.

If only one week to go, the next campaign is fast approaching! We introduced some new colours to the first 3 styles that will be available right from launch. As promised, we are going to have two new styles as well.

I'll be introducing the first one today.

So, without further adieu please put your hands together for.....

The Odysseus "Bomber" Jacket

Odysseus was a legendary hero and king of Ithaca. He played an influential role in the Trojan War as a strategist and advisor for the Greeks. He was the brains behind the Trojan Horse which led to the defeat of the Trojans. After the war, however, Odysseus went through hell to return to Ithaca and his family. The journey lasted 10 years. His whole crew, except one on his ship, were eaten by a cannibalistic tribe, the Laestrygonians. He endured escaping mythic monsters like the Sirens of Scylla and Charybdis. For 7 of those 10 years, Odysseus was held captive by the nymph Calypso, who had fallen in love with him. She kept Odysseus on her island Ogygia, using her enchanting singing, trying to get him to forget about his wife, Penelope. He never did. He broke free of the spell and eventually returned home to his wife, as a hero.  

A sleek, minimalist design, our take on the bomber jacket is perfect for an evening out, whether it be chilling with the guys, on a date or hitting the club. With its ribbed collar and cuffs, ribbed elastic waist, YKK zippers and slim design, this jacket will make a statement without being loud. The threads of this jacket are imbued with Odysseus’ essence. Odysseus was the definition of never give up. Despite hardships we can’t even comprehend, he overcame them with extreme perseverance. Let this jacket be a reminder that, whatever your hopes and dreams are, you will reach them if you never give up. Put all that you have into reaching your own Ithaca. You won’t regret it.

This style in both colours will be available next week on the 15th as a Kickstarter exclusive!!

Stay tuned for the last design unveiling as well as a few other things ;)
