HANDMADE BANDANA LEATHER RINGS #2

i just got a mail from FRED c/o redwing1905 about these yesterday posted bandana leather rings. he sent me some pics (see below) of leather bandana rings made by MR. FREEDOM aka CHRISTOPHE LOIRON who has got most respect by me – for sure. he did similar rings times ago – i am really sorry, but i did not know this! respectful to your work CHRISTOPHE the HANDMADE BANDANA LEATHER RINGS post from yesterday has been deleted @ once. if the posted rings were not a copy but a new idea by PETER – ok –, but just the suspicion on copying is worse … LTG

this RWS IRISH SETTER PECOS #866 in my favorite “ORO RUSSET” RED WING color is really hard to find today. i got this boot one year ago from a deadstock in the US or JAPAN – i can’t remember. i wear this one carefully with the awareness that i will never get such a great PECOS anymore. i love this boot and style far away from fashion and mainstream. this boot shows where RED WING SHOES come from – the PECOS is a RWS true iconic work boot!

THE HILL-SIDE SPRING / SOMMER @ VOLLS.DE

it was a really nice and funny morning @ VOLLS this saturday with a lot of good coffee from APERÓ vis-à-vis. and it was exciting too! meeting BURCU, one of volls’ shop assistants, 10 minutes before openinng we wanted to get and just inside the alarm went on. what a noise … closed down by the security it went on a second time when we passed the shop area. then it was quite again and KLAUS came in. so i had the possibility to check some new deliveries. very nice the new S/S THE HILLSIDE collection. have a nice spring weekend. pics | Klaus Voll & LTG
