Hitman Benji

@hitman.gear · West Haven, CT

Custom apparel and wearable-armor designer. Builds one-of-one statement vests — hand-painted, hand-stitched, no two alike — and treats a tactical blank like a canvas. The Heat Chart's Editor's Pick.

The editors' pick — not voted up, chosen. Benji Chase turns tactical vest blanks into one-of-one wearable armor: brocade, hand-laid lace, inked centerpieces, finished like couture. When we needed a face for what a designer can be here, there was no debate.— The Heat Chart editors
