History

Jesse James founded West Coast Choppers in 1992, initially selling screen-printed t-shirts before expanding into custom motorcycle manufacturing. The brand gained international prominence through television programs like Motorcycle Mania, which documented James's fabrication process. This exposure transitioned the brand from a niche subculture into a mainstream fashion phenomenon during the early 2000s. It remains a significant example of how specialized mechanical trades can influence global streetwear and workwear trends.
