Shwood presents MAKERS: Holiday Customs

Feb

Shwood eyewear has been releasing profiles of independent artisans via their MAKERS series, with the latest covering the exploits of Jared Johnson. Johnson owns and operates Holiday Customs, a custom motorcycle shop in Portland, completely by himself. With an obsession with motor parts and assembly dating back to the “go-kart” years, as it were, Johnson has made a career out of hand-crafting motorbikes for people with expendable, though limited, incomes. His aesthetic is greasy, rugged and strong, preferring to leave weld evidence to lend his work a hand-crafted feel, which seems all the more fitting for Shwood’s MAKERS.
