RED WING SHOES | THE HERITAGE HAND SEWN COLLECTION

news from the RED WING HERITAGE EUROPE central: “This season the Red Wing Shoe Co. is launching a new Genuine Handsewn collection — which is entirely made in Lewiston, Maine. To better explain the lore of handsewn, Red Wing went to Maine to produce a short film to show what makes these shoes so unique.” last week i had the chance to take a look at these new shoes at volls. i prefer the work boot styles but they look very nice. nicer than the boat shoes RWS launched some years ago – take a look. vid | RED WING SHOES

AMTRAQ | DISTRIBUTION | #03 SPORTSWEAR REG.

yet another company distributed by UWE’s AMTRAQ: Sportswear reg. A young italian company, born in 2008, influenced by used american apparel from gyms, military and workwear – from the 30s to the early 80s. i did not see anything live but the stuff on the pics UWE sent me looks really authentic with a lot of love for details – i like this style very much. all pieces are produced with original fabrics and prints; the labels and hangtags are hand stamped. and very special – good idea, because i love limited stuff: every season there will be 1 shirt und 2 t-shirts hand-painted, delivered in a special box – strictly limited. exciting. UWE, the LAMBCHOP cards are stored in my cupboard. hope to see your showroom before the gig. pics | AMTRAQ

BOOT OF THE DAY | #115 | VINTAGE RED WING ENGINEER MOTORCYCLE BOOT

i think this tall 17″ engineer boot is rare. me, i did not see often a RED WING engineer boot with this height. it is an eBay offer, that now reached the $44,00 mark. the seller found a number which could be an advise for the RWS style: D27391 – i do not know … the boot and the creep sole are rugged but seem to be still in good condition, marked with a size 9.5 D. pics | ebay seller jcisjunk

JAMES BOND’S ASTON MARTIN 1964 DB5

i got this car as a toy when i was about 6 or 7 years old. a dream of a car this days for me. the equipment was so useful for an agent and full of creative ideas. mostly i loved the ejection seat. even go to cinema as an eight year old boy to watch 007 was just a dream. no chance. these days films like that were free to watch up from 12 years. still i love this car. so high tech for its time 40 years ago so smiling about that innocence today – great. time changes. pics | XAXOR.com
