Chain Drive (Austin, Texas Leather Bar 1986-2014) 90s philadelphia and the rise of citywideChain Drive Austin, TXA legend of Texas leather, Chain Drive stood as Austins rough around the edges hideaway for men who liked their nightlife dark, loud, and unapologetically masculine. Tucked off 4th Street, it was a no frills, all thrills bar that thrived on sweat, denim, and camaraderie. This shirt nods to the grit and glory of a true Lone Star leather landmarkwhere the chain rattled and the boots never stopped.
