LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #37 | KIEL JAMES PATRICK

yesterday i got my order from KIEL JAMES PATRICK: so beautiful. these bracelets are one of my most awesome accessories i own. and the package was so nice packed. i love this marine inspired stuff. so i took 3 bracelets, and this was a good decision, because my wife told me that she will wear them, too – ok. i got two “LEATHER TURK’S KNOP ROPE” and one “CAPE & BRIGHTON BEACH”, which is my favorite; it is called “CUTTY SARK ATLANTIC”. all stuff is hand crafted in RHODE ISLAND, usa.  pics | LTG | kieljamespatrick.com

MAX RAABE & PALAST ORCHESTER

yesterday night i saw at DARMSTADTIUM one of the best concerts i’ve ever seen: MAX RAABE with his sensational PALAST ORCHESTER. i joined the concert with my mum. it was my birthday present for her and at the same time i made me present, too. the great performance, virtuosic musicians, an unbelievable relaxed atmosphere – in one word: wonderful. the clips are not from yesterday evening but we heard and saw it like this – awesome. pics | around the web








S.N.S. HERNING | F/W2011 @ VOLLS.DE

it got a bit quiet about S.N.S. HERNING; compared to the last years i could find just a few new blog entries about the things the danish company will do. so i was happy when KLAUS from volls.de told me that he got new stuff. all the classics are still manufactured with genuine knitting machinery made in germany by STOLL. all pieces have their own history which is grounded years ago. so the AMALGAM CARDIGAN, one of my absolute favorite pieces, was first issued in 1952. below you’ll find just a few pieces of the stock at volls.de. these are my favs. pics | volls.de

STEVE McQUEEN | CLEARANCE OF “THE KING OF COOL”

damn, what’s that? unbelievable, but this is the UNOFFICIAL McQUEEN LIFESTYLE SITE: www.thekingofcool.com. this site is for all the hobby McQueens of you who have no idea and the phantasy where to collect the REAL STUFF. no, here is the marketplace where you can find all items at one website: from STEVE’s MUSTANG GT500 over his HANHART WATCH to his GREAT ESCAPE SWEAT TOP. and as a proof, all items are shown in books where STEVE is wearing the stuff – perfect, isn’t it? easy to be FRANK BULLIT now. some items are originals, some are cheap replicas and some items are pure merchandise, look at the ugly printed shirts … uurghh. but check yourself. for me this site is poor: “THE CLEARANCE OF THE KING OF COOL”. pics | www.thekingofcool.com


LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #35 | PORTLAND GENERAL STORE

wow, this morning i opened my PORTLAND GENERAL STORE WHISKEY  WET SHVAE JELLY the first time. unbelievalble: it smells like a soft smooth bourbon. great wet shaving! with the colognes it is the same. they smell so unique and distinctive. PGS say: “Portland General Store colognes are inspired by recipes we’ve found from the 1920s and ‘30s. Our all-natural ingredients are a blend of jojoba oil,  denatured alcohol,  CO2,  absolutes and essential oils—and each scent is blended by hand in small batches. We offer six primary scents,  and one or two limited edition colognes that change annually.” i got my PGS stuff 3 months ago and checking their website now i must see that they changed the designs of their bottles. it is very nice too, but the design of the ones i got is unbeatable: awesome. check their site: www.portlandgeneralstore.com AND hope to get this stuff soon in GERMANY!!! bad pics | LTG


LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #34 | B-74

yesterday i did a short trip to FRANKFURT to visit KAMI at B-74. it was a diverting afternoon and again the spirit of the B-74 impressed me so much – it was about 5 months ago when i went there for the last time. if you ever go to frankfurt this shop is a MUST-VISIT. similar i imagine the FREE & EASY shop in TOKIO – so rugged and aesthetic heritage. beside you’ll find at B-74 the greatest european FILSON collection. bad pic | LTG
