damn, found an envelop with the LONG JOHN print on it – what a surprise. exciting, what’s inside? great it’s a shirt: the LONG JOHN X GO STERK & BLENDOMATIC tribute shirt to MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE. what a nice idea, what a wonderful high quality LEE shirt with a tasteful sailing ship print. LONG JOHN at it’s best. here is what WOUTER says about the shirt: “
what a great piece i found yesterday @ volls.de. last year i saw the JOMO denim stuff the first time at summer BREAD & BUTTER, berlin, and i was really excited about the vest and the jackets … and i knew that i will take the vest when it arrives at the stores. love the two different colors of this really dark blue nearly black raw denim stuff. as we know from JOMO all stuff is MADE IN THE USA. time to rock this stiff piece. pics | LTG
a lot of rain the last days here in the heart of germany. good to have the right hat for these f**king rainy days. years ago i bought those on SYLT, germany: classic bucket hats from BARBOUR. these head ware never gets out of style. okay, maybe you should to be a bit brave to wear these hats looking a kind of nasty, but really casual at the same time. whatever these hats are useful! one is blue and the the other one olive colored. both hats can be turned inside out to classic check patterns. made of wax cotton. pics | LTG
today a classic oxford by WHITE’S BOOTS made of smooth water buffalo leather, black cherry colored. myself i own a WHITE’S boot made of the same leather: it’s the smoothest and most comfortable boot i own. these oxfords have a great old school look, are single welted, have leather soles, block heels and are double lined. made in the USA. available at japanese MAVAZI. attention: high priced! pics | MAVAZI
today there was a day off: father’s day in germany. little LEVI, my wife and me drove to SINSHEIM AUTO & TECHNIK MUSEUM to watch some vintage planes, tanks, cars and trains. always a good plan! and the best: the museum has a great souvenir shop. so i got a new CHEVROLET CAMARO Z28 from 1968 for my die cast collection scale 1:18 . f*** what a wonderful car, what a nice die cast … i love CAMAROs. pics | LTG and chevroletwallpaper.com
the original CAMARO Z28 1968
when i saw KLAUS c/o volls.de this monday, he gave me DRECKIG BLEIBEN to smell. KLAUS knows that i prefer intensive heavy weight insence parfums – no wonder i come from a very catholic region … so i tried DRECKIG BLEIBEN. the first impression: great! it is not frankincense i smell, but it is heavy and very smoky – good. the makers of this parfum describe the fragrance like this: “DRECKIG BLEIBEN opens with a harmonious note drawn of bergamot from Calabria, neroli oil from Tunisia, Sicilian mandarin and Chinese ginger. Its heart brings together the scents of the smoky oil of the cistus, of gurjum oil and of elemi, the oil of the balsam tree. The base consists of earthy cedarwood, the oil of the guaiacum tree, sandalwood and vanilla.” very masculine. the smell turns after some hours into a smooth nearly sweet fragrance, really exciting. the flacon is very nice too. the wooden top is handmade from centuries-old wood, won from timber-framed houses. and really practicable: it is double closed with a classic spray flacon. interesting, the maker of the fragance MARK BUXTON worked for COMME DES GARCONS who still make one of my absolutely favorite fragrances the SERIES 3 INCENSE. more about DRECKIG BLEIBEN, the idea, the people behind check dreckigbleiben.com. it is available at volls.de. not online yet, but soon. and hurry up, DRECKIG BLEIBEN is limited to 999 pieces! made in france. pics | LTG
