Years ago I saw one of the best leather jackets ever and had to find out where to get one.

Turns out it was made by hand in NYC by non other than Jordan Betten at Lost Art Leathers.

We quickly became friends and I started my collection.

Everyone in the music world was wearing his jackets from Lenny Kravitz to Willie Nelson.

After 20 years Jordan walked away from leather and started building custom made Choppers in Miami at Rasta Choppers.

8 years in the making my guest Director, Peter Dowd follows a man around that is absolutely obsessed with Jimmy Page.

The first time Akio Sakurai hears Led Zeppelin as a teenager, and then laid eyes on the band in The Song Remains the Same, the group's 1976 concert documentary, Sakurai has had one mission in life: to demonstrate his adoration of Zeppelin founder Jimmy Page. He is completely candid about this: "I want to be Jimmy Page," he remembers thinking.

The film is an amazing Document of what it's like to dive way down a rabbit hole. Passion is in full effect here.

Peter has made a fantastic film and if you are a Led Zeppelin freak like myself you are really going to enjoy this.
