CONGRATULATIONS TO BURG & SCHILD’S 5TH ANNIVERSARY

he guys very well done!

SHANE and KAY stay tuned for the next 5 years and many more! 
i am still sad that i couldn’t join your party last saturday – saw the pics on facebook. 
looking great – as i expected.

now for me the circle with BURG & SCHILD is closed. after opening the shop in 2007 i did a story about B&S in germanys r’n’r magazine #1 DYNAMITE in spring 2008. i worked for the mag amongst others as the art director and one of the editors at this time. i met KAY at an event at B-74 and we talked about B&S – it was amazing. i went to the store for the first time in january 2009 when i joined the second floor show at 14oz. this year i joined the BEER, BIKES AND BURGER party and it was like meeting old friends although i saw SHANE & KAY the third time. now i got the 5th anniversary B&S boot the black ltd. RED WING LOGGER #2007. so the first circle is closed and we opened a second one … 
more details about the boot and some other 5th anniversary stuff next week.

and beside, this was LIFE TIME GEAR’s 1001 post. i forgot to do an anniversary post, … but in this case, i think it doesn’t matter. pics | LTG





BAND OF OUTSIDERS | CAMPAIGN SHOTS F/W 2012

wonderful photos of actor JOSH BROLIN well known f.ex. from NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, WALL STREET, TRUE GRIT, MEN IN BLACK 3. really really cool and so americana. the polaroids of BAND OF OUTSIDERS designer SCOTT STERNBERG show JOSH as a “modern cowboy” at the SUNSET RANCH in BEACHWOOD CANYON, CA. thx FUCKING YOUNG blog for sharing! pics | Scott Sternberg c/o BAND OF OUTSIDERS


FIRST TIME @ VOLLS.DE > PENFIELD TRAILWEAR

very nice. old school looking: the PENFIELD TRAILWEAR label was created in the 70s. and as you see the actual stuff symbolizes PENFIELD’s heritage and the spirit of these early years. pure americana – i like this a lot. this is the first time KLAUS from volls.de did an orderwith PENFIELD. exciting how this stuff will work. all pieces below are online right now at www.volls.de. pics | volls.de

#02 RWS x BURG & SCHILD COLLABORATION | RED WING BLACK LOGGER BOOT #2007

the scribble was super, but the original looks even better than that. what a nice black logger boot this RWS #2007 designed by BURG & SCHILD and made for them by RED WING SHOES. for more information about the collaboration and the 5 year anniversary of BURG & SCHILD check my blog post from the 28th of september and the RED WING HERITAGE site. pics | Red Wing Heritage Europe, Burg & Schild




BOOT OF THE DAY | #146 | POSTMAN STYLE BY HORSEMAN JOE

what a wonderful POSTMAN. i like the “sprung up” toe very much. this extra ordinary POSTMAN is made by japanese HORSEMAN JOE. made of original leather, hand sewn welted with a double leather sole. it costs about 65.000 YEN which means about 825 USD. you can order and customize the shoes and boots at HORSEMAN JOE as you like. there are different sorts of leather, colors, soles, heels and types/forms. the stuff is made on old machines – great. check out their site! pics | HORSEMAN JOE




GASMAC GILMORE | metal meets ska meets rock’n’roll meets polka meets disco …

JOSEF GASTEIGER from laut.de describes this mix as perfect with this words: “these guys play SYSTEM OF A SKA”. Gogol Bordello meets Kaizers Orchestra meets System of a down. unbelievable: it is really hard to sit still when hearing GASMAC GILMORE’s new album DEAD DONKEY. the band was founded 10 years ago in vienna, austria, and made 4 longplayer. never heard about till stumble upon the new album cover of DEAD DONKEY at laut.de. hm? GASMAC GILMORE – sounds curios i thought. i heard the first beats and it happened. i was hooked. hope to join a gig of GG one day live because this must be an acoustic and at the same time an optical unforgettable adventure – check the videos! pics & videos | GASMAC GILMORE


UNITED CARR BY BUZZ RICKSON’S PEA COAT

found this wonderful classic peacoat @ great KURT’S LIFE & faith site. one of my most frequently checked japanese blog sites. the peacoat looks very similar to the common BUZZ RICKSON’S version. i think the only difference make the naval prints on the shoulder but these are really nice. and for sure they make the difference. unfortunately i can’t read japanese so i can’t give you information about UNITED CARR i just know that the jacket is made in japan, made of wool melton (90% wool, 10% nylon). pics | KURT’S LIFE & faith, UNITED CARR

 the “common – non japan” version available at buzzricksons.com
