in 1887. great prices: each knife shown here is about 20,00 euros. and there
is much more stuff, like classic hunting or garden knives. pics | OTTER-Messer
LTG wishes you all the best for 2011 –
thx for so many visits at life-time-gear.com in 2010!
special greetings to FRED from redwing1905.blogspot.com, JUNICHI from
fortalitia54 and to KLAUS and KAMI. thx to all of you and all the other bloggers
for intensive exchanges of experiences and the news and inspirations you
gave to me. let’s rock 2011!
1983 … unbelievable: bono’s voice was so fresh and powerful in the playback.
i loved the first three albums of U2 and especially this song. U2 and the
STRAY CATS were my favorite bands in the early eighties. i saw them
together in a legendary concert at LORELEY, germany. it was in 1983 –
a revelation! but today U2 degenerated to a high-tech and circus group …
again the japanese. their shoemakers do the things i dream of. the
shoemakers i know here in germany can’t do or won’t do. i am still
looking around for a shoemaker working with passion and open
minded for customizing shoes and boots. pics | beckman blog
rws style 8165 + vibram #100
a package from the spokane, washington, usa arrived! today i picked up my new WHITE’S BOOTS
at the customs. so heavy, so beautiful, so tough, so good work. check the seller whitesriver at ebay.
it is the third pair of WHITE’S i bought from him, and it was always best service. absolutely confidential.
in no case i am a sneaker lover. i just got some basics: nike vintage challengers and jack purcells.
but to post this news means a great pleasure for me. my friend DANI, owner of ASPHALTGOLD
here in darmstadt, germany, celebrates in november 2010 2 years ASPHALTGOLD with an
anniversary AIR MAX 1 ID. i do not know nearly nothing about sneakers, so DANI explain yourself:
“For two-year anniversary in November, Nike Germany gave me the opportunity to tinker an
anniversary Air Max 1 ID. Result is a colorway which clearly communicates the shops name.
Because asphaltgold was born in winter, robust material should be used. Main part of the shoe
exists of high-quality boot leather. The white midsole, the mesh upper and the soft suede
quarter panel were chosen classical. The shoe should not forget where he come from *J*. The
anniversary Air Max 1 ID is limited to 10 pairs. Each pair with an individual serial stiching on the
heelcaps and embedded in an elaborate packaging. The Shoes are not for sale… but there
are some other opportunities (check sneakerized.com or the January Issue of the streetwear
today magazin).”
found a link from yahoo – unusual looking …
it is still snowing and very cold in middle germany near frankfurt/main. my favorite parka
is still in revision but my buddy KAMI from B74 gave me another LIFE TIME GEAR piece:
a SPIEWAK N3A PARKA from the golden fleece series. great stuff: lightweight and comfortable
but very warm. it works great with the quilted POST OVERALLs vest. VOLLS got a lot of
POST O’ stuff two weeks ago. is there another shop in germany who sells this great stuff
from NYC? i don’t think so. but the best for deep snow walking are my WHITE’S HATHORN
SMOKEJUMPER with their heavy vibram trekking sole – these boots are what i call
LIFE TIME GEAR!

second post about the ex-REAL McCOY team featuring FREEWHEELERS.
late 1800s, early 1900s style work coat PROMONTRY COAT
thx SPEEDSEEKERS for finding this perfect description. i am still checking …
great stuff – i think to remember a blogpost where i rad that
FREEWHEELERS is a company from people who worked for
THE REAL McCOY. it is a bit confusing because they call
themselve BOOTLEGGERS REUNION, too. anyway … they
do great clothing from the turn of the 19th century to the early
40s. the next days i will show some amazing pieces starting
today with two work pants.
