TRICKER’S COUNTRY BOOTS are made in NORTHAMPTON, england. not a workboot but anyway this boot has a classic men-looking and rough character. i love the light brown color in combination with the brogue and the commando sole; 100% calf leather, antique stow brogue, hand-made in england. the official style is named MARTON M2508 COUNTRY BOOTS COMANDO SOLE. this is what a call a classic boot. pics | super rag, japan
at the 19th of january i will see SLIM CESSNA’S AUTO CLUB the first time live. i own all their stuff. they sometimes remind me 16 HORSEPOWER, one of my absolute favorite bands since years. this is not a surprise because both bands come from denver, colorado, and JAY MUNLY (SCAC) joined with DAVIDE EUGENE EDWARDS (16HP) the band THE DENVER GENTLEMEN. SCAC’s music combines different styles like country blues, southern gospel, gothic, rockabilly, americana and alternative country, sometimes extrem dark. i am really excited how their show will be in the small DAS BETT club in FRANKFURT, germany. but next week on friday first i’ll see and hear RAMMSTEIN. heavy contrast: last weekend MAX RAABE, next friday germany’s most discussed and international germany’s most successful music export RAMMSTEIN – open minded! pics | SLIM CESSNA’S AUTO CLUB
sometimes it is a little bit CRAZY … love it …
what a nice old-school convertible racing car: the 2011 LUCRA LC470 “GULF” EDITION. this edition is made especially for racing but you can get the LC470 with a street permission, too. maybe this could be a christmas wish for you, but be careful with the prices. they do not show these without a registration on their website. the LC470 street version for germany has 505 PS, weights just 962 kg and has the V-8-technique of the CHEVROLET CORVETTE. hm – i do not like convertibles … pics | LUCRA
looks like a classic WHITE’S SMOKEJUMPER but – unbelievable – look at the leather. best exotic, i think, caiman or alligator skin combined with a black, i assume, water buffalo. a brave decision for a classic workboot fitted up with a heavy vibram #109 logger sole. exotic looking, not imagine what the german custom would say when they open a parcel with such exclusive stuff … pics | EMPTY GARAGE
picking up some new photos at my buddy HARALD FREUD for the new ASSOS delaer manual he gave me a present: the ELVIS “THE KING” COW – aaaaaaaaaaaaaawesome! this one is a piece of art made by BERNHARD PRINZ, who is living actually in munich. THE KING is made of poly resin/ace resin and hand painted. a great present from a very good friend and a man who is working in my team proofed network since 18 years. HARALD is the best lithographer i know. thank you so much! bad pics | LTG
is this pic a fake? i think it is a very old jersey the boy wears. i don’t know – but it would be nice to be the truth … but the opposite is the case. all boys even girls run to F***ing FC BAYERN MÜNCHEN the richest club in germany with the most arrogant club direction. my little sun is FC KAISERSLAUTERN fan. it is not easy always with one foot in the deep surrended by contaminated FCB fans. but we are proud to be underdogs and outsider. FCK – TRADITION, PASSION, RESPECT. hope the players of FCK will remind these principles the next games. the last two were a catastrophe …
yesterday i got my order from KIEL JAMES PATRICK: so beautiful. these bracelets are one of my most awesome accessories i own. and the package was so nice packed. i love this marine inspired stuff. so i took 3 bracelets, and this was a good decision, because my wife told me that she will wear them, too – ok. i got two “LEATHER TURK’S KNOP ROPE” and one “CAPE & BRIGHTON BEACH”, which is my favorite; it is called “CUTTY SARK ATLANTIC”. all stuff is hand crafted in RHODE ISLAND, usa. pics | LTG | kieljamespatrick.com
yesterday night i saw at DARMSTADTIUM one of the best concerts i’ve ever seen: MAX RAABE with his sensational PALAST ORCHESTER. i joined the concert with my mum. it was my birthday present for her and at the same time i made me present, too. the great performance, virtuosic musicians, an unbelievable relaxed atmosphere – in one word: wonderful. the clips are not from yesterday evening but we heard and saw it like this – awesome. pics | around the web
one of my absolute favorite blogsites: hopesmore.net. these japanese guys are sensational: they live their passion for vintage & used clothing especially for boots. i do not know a shop which offers more vintage and new work boots than HOPESMORE. here just a few impressions from their blog. pics | HOPESMORE
