Salty Detroit was born from the days when milk came in bottles and cars had more ashtrays than seat belts.
I purchased the authentic 1950's machine shop in 2018 and transformed it into a multi-functional space where friends, artists and makers can collaborate and create.
From hot rods and pinups to garage-inspired art and fashion - Salty Detroit is a brand that reflects my passion for American history, vintage automobiles and timeless craftsmanship.
I consider it a privilege to contribute to the nostalgic heritage of the Motor City.
Because after all - THIS ISN'T FUCKIN' CALIFORNIA.

pinup shoot
We recently opened our doors to renowned pinup photographer @vargaphotco for a sold-out three day shoot and open house. Dozens of local women showed up to get their hair and makeup done by the lovely @the.vagabondvixen and pose in a safe, clean and private environment. Special thanks to Dead Last CC, SuspectS CC, Hoodrats CC, Troy @ Chrysler, Mikey 'Bobby' Hayes, T-Shirt Dave and my Detroit Dad - Bob Sinclair.
