PATTERNED SUMMER SHIRTS

the weather forecast told us, that there will be rain and thunderstorms today in middle germany and that the next days will be about 20°C. okay, there was some rain and low winds that blow the 37°C from this morning away. for 1 hour we have had about 22°C, and now at 5 PM it is nearly 30°C again. so the next days i think it’s good to know some colored short sleeved shirts in the cupboard. here some of my favorites. as you see: i love patterned shirts. pics | LTG

okay, now it’s just 8:00 o’clock in the morning and the thermometer shows 27°C here at middle germany near frankfurt. the weather forecast told us that there will be about 37–40° in the afternoon. so, this is a day to wear short chinos, a hawaii shirt and some boat shoes. sorry, but i hope it will get colder the next days because as a middle european it is 10 degrees too hot for me while working. pics | LTG

MINI HUMMER | WHEN A HUMMER DRIVES THE GOLF COURT

found this just some minutes ago at spiegel.de when i checked the news for today. isn’t this ELECTRO HUMMER HX sweet? when GM stopped 2010 the production of the HUMMER they sold the license to china. UK based MEV owns a license too and produces this “political correct” HUMMER HX. 20 PS power, 45 km/h slow and about 30 to 50 km can be done with this shrink HUMMER. in germany not one “HUMMER-lein“ could be sold. MEV says that the most cars were shipped to the USA for the use at golf courses or big housing estates – no wonder: about 18.000 EURO must be paid for this little thing. too expensive and the electro powered engine technic is an old one. pics | TOM GRÜNWEG

YUKETEN @ VOLLS.DE | PERFECT SUMMER FOOTWEAR

yesterday i visited KLAUS c/o volls.de. it was time to pick up some stuff which was reserved for me since weeks. there wasn’t any time before: because of working, working and working … when i entered the shop i saw a line of new YUKETEN shoes and boots. wonderful, timeless classics: different styles and color-ways of MAINE GUIDE CHUKKAS and ANGLER MOCS. my favorite is the suede chestnut brown ANGLER MOC HEX EYE. for me a hybrid between a classic oxford and a boat-shoe – great look! for more information about the new stuff enter the YUKETEN site @ volls.de. i never slipped into a boot without socks and felt so comfortable as in the ANGLER MOC. i told you: an absolute perfect summer shoe. pics | volls.de, LTG

SENOR TYRONE PONCHO EXPRESS | DO IT LIKE CLINT DID IN “A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS”

what a crazy idea … for me: doing business with PONCHOS. but, i think i like ponchos. mainly on women. to wear it as a guy? hm?! CLINT was dressed very well in “A Fistful of Dollars“, but in real life? men wearing a poncho – is this cool? whatever california based SENOR TYRONE seems to be a cool young brand. they have a great selection of ponchos and everything they show at their well done website looks pretty cool. take a peak and get some more informations @ www.senortyrone.com. what a cool statement: “Some may call it a poncho or a wrap or a scarf or a cape. For me it is only Señor Tyrone. – Señor Tyrone.” pics | Senor Tyrone, © Clint Eastwood by Clint Easwood

A LETTER FROM THE USA | FROM FRED STRAIGHT OF WESTLAND DISTILLERY

mostly when FRED c/o REDWING1905 blog goes to the states he sends me a letter. at this speedy times it is so nice to get a REAL LETTER brought to you by the postman straight into your letterbox. you open the box with a real key, take a look at the sender, the stamps, then you take a knife to open the letter, and then you read a nice handwriten message … perfect, normal, but nearly old school nowadays. FRED sent me a letter from the famous WESTLAND DISTILLERY, seattle, with MUSCLE CAR stamps – i did a post about these beautiful little paper things some weeks ago – and an awesome card with a beautiful classic american graphic. so nice. FRED wrote that this would be the coolest whiskey bar of the USA. it is a pitty that you can’t find some pics and more infos @ their homepage: www.westlanddistillery.com. okay, first release of their american single malt whiskey will be fall 2013. pics | LTG
