just surfing around i found these nice lookbook shots by swedish CALIROOTS shop. well done! and i must tell you, my waxed GOLDEN FLEECE SPIEWAK N3B SNORKEL PARKA is one of my absolute winter favorites: made in the USA, really authentic, practicable, warm and good rugged looking – at least for a good price. i wonder why SPIEWAK will be disposed so rare in germany. pics | CALIROOTS

new video directly from the RED WING SHOES heritage europe central. they say: “In 1939, a monument similar to Mount Rushmore was requested in order to immortalize on sacred ground the Oglala Lakota war hero, Crazy Horse, and to celebrate the Indian Nation. In 1948, a small group of craftsmen took over the monumental task of sculpting the mountain into a man. “Crazy Horse” documents the devotion they give each day in pursuit of perfection. It’s the story of five men against the mountain., The Crazy Horse monument is a task which will surpass the team’s lifetime. Like all well-crafted achievements, it will not only live on as a tribute to those it represents, but as a tribute to the perseverance of those who built it.” vid | www.redwingheritage.eu

years ago i bought an ELVIS HeadHood. i think it is 3 or 4 years ago, i found their stuff. i ordered one for OLLI THE BARBER, one of the biggest ELVIS fans i know, one for me and an AUDREY HEPBURN for my wife. since this time i never heard again from NY’s HeadHood till last friday: i got a newsletter with new styles. indeed there are some great new designs like JOHNNY CASH and OBAMA or the SKULL with the HeadHood cap but i missed ELVIS in the collection. anyway HeadHoods is a great idea and believe me, when i wear my ELVIS hood it is always an eyecatcher. have fun checking their site! pics | HeadHood
i found this prints at ETSY.com – you can buy them! and i love this style. looks like porous printing, like serigraphs. STEVE does not only illustrations, he is a really good comic artist, too. he says: “My portfolio is an assemblage of personal art, collaboration, as well as odds – and – ends which have happened along the way. I’ve been a painter and traditional artist for most of my life, crossing over to computer graphics in the the early 90’s. Since then, my focus has been on sequential story telling, specifically as a means to express ideas which could not be so easily represented in a singular artwork. Until recently, my main tool had been Adobe Illustrator, but I’ve gradually started introducing Photoshop into my work. This software change was to gain a more expressive style, approaching an outcome closer to drawing and painting, rather than the more rigid method I used in Illustrator.” pics | Steve Morris
what a surprise: checking my postbox this morning i found a big letter. awesome, it was from ALEXANDER who does the great be-cause – style, travle, collecting and food blog. some time ago we mailed about fly-fishing, and now he sent me a postcard from BODENSEE region and this wonderful vintage TROUT FISHERMEN’S DIGEST book. i love it, alex! great pictures, i think from sixties and seventies, and great stories. thank you so much. hope, to meet you some day; i think we could make this happen. bad pic | LTG, bandana with fly-fishing flasher from volls.de
