wonderful 5 eyelet chukka from wisconsin RUSSEL MOCCASIN CO found at japanese SILVER AND GOLD store. classic in brown oiled cow leather with a dark brown VIBRAM # 2021. i never tried a RUSSEL but they look so comfortable. maybe these boots will find someday the way to europe. pics | Silver and Gold
i did this post to show my buddy RON WELLDON how different the oro-russet color on RED WING SHOES could look like, because he asked me something about. so here you can see my oro-russet colored RWS line up. sure the color changes with every wear. it is certain that oro-russet gets darker. look at the vintage #855 and #877 irish setter. but even the new boots show some differences: #4558 and #2940. the #866 PECOS is vintage but not worn so often and it shows again another color. but as you know: we love this handmade stuff and i am really glad that the shoe color isn’t all the same. exciting. that’s one reason why i love to wear and own RED WING SHOES! pics | LTG
he kami, damn, another year is over and you celebrate your birthday this day. take care, have a perfect B-DAY and please give me more great funny moments like this summer at BREAD & BUTTER when you showed me WHY YOU NEED A WHEELED CARRY ON BAG WITH YOUR PADDED COMPUTER BAG . i still must laugh thinking about this situation – thx! pics | LTG, ©Tom Waits
as an absolute CAMO fan i must show these nice chucks found at FIRMAMENT. the best is the suede leather upper – great! this camo chuck is exclusively made for FIRMAMENT. pics | FIRMAMENT
another pic from the archives: 2005 we did this unprofessional shoot for a simple and fast xmas greeting card for my design studio. a few days later little LEVI was born. it was so cold and snowing – no fake. damn, i got a lot of more wrinkles the last 7 years and my beard wasn’t so big. i loved this jacket and this was not a FILSON jacket, it was a limited WOOLRICH WOOLEN MILLS parka which i had to give back because it lost the downs. i was really sad because i didn’t get it back. i got another ltd. WOOLRICH arctic parka with a wool blanket lining but this one wasn’t so old school as the classic red/black checkered one. so … HO HO HO – i wish you all an exciting ST NICHOLAS’ DAY. pic | LTG
again found at japanese JAM store: a wonderful vintage WHITE’S logger boot with a pale sole – great! a must BOOT OF THE DAY … pics | JAM
as a bow tie lover the stuff off TWO GUYS’ BOW TIES is something special to me. when i first saw the wooden pieces i did not know what to think. on the one hand i thought: great idea and certainly good looking on the other hand i asked me if a wooden bow tie maybe looks to static. but after seeing the sample pics with worn wooden bow ties i must tell you: they look great! there are much more styles at TWO GUYS’ BOW TIES – take a peak! pics | TWO GUYS’ BOW TIES
what do you think? the same as me? looks better now, anyway another look – for me a complete other shoe. very nice, i like this. thx RON for animating – good idea. i am exciting how the 8105 will look when the mink oil got completely absorbed by the suede leather. pics | LTG
