Vintage hand painted jacket

Levis type III style trucker with hand warmer pockets

My best guess for date is late 80s to mid 90s judging by style and subject matter.

Custom done by Bronx graffiti artist James “Sexer” Rodriguez.

Graffiti jackets are some of the most unique and interesting pieces of vintage available: The custom jean jacket often contained artwork and/or crew names and logos created by Graf artists. DJ/MC Crews, B Boys and Graf artists alike would sport this custom denim as an identifier of who they were as crews and individuals as well as a means of advertisement.

James ‘Sexer’ Rodriguez is an old school writer who stays on his game, and keeps his skills sharp. In the 80’s, Sexer’s mark could be spotted from the 1, 2 and 5 New York transit lines, all the way to the walls of the historic High School of Art and Design. A school of which many legendary Graff Writers attended.

Having many influences in graffiti like Dondi, Lee, and Mitch77, his real interest in graff peaked with many of the writers from world renown crews FBA and TC5. “They were burning”.

After attending High School of Art and design, Sexer moved on to college, and quickly applied his talents to an Art Directors position in a major advertising firm for 10 years. His work has been exhibited from New York City to Russia, and he continues to work on commercial projects with big names like Motorola and Delta Airlines.

Sexer’s advice to the youngsters that are up and coming in the graff game: ”Hone in on your skills, and create a self defining style. Think of a positive message you want to share with the world”.
