2 weeks ago i got my new INDY out of the customs. pre ordered last october at NYC based LEFFOT. this boot is one of the nicest i ever got. so smooth, so smart, so comfortable, so awesome with a fantastic alone standing look. love it! pics | LTG
he guys, slowly getting to normality. still massive work in progress but LIFE TIME GEAR needs some new blog posts. so i do: not a boot today but an awesome ALDEN WORKMAN OXFORD. looks like a low cut ALDEN INDY which i found at spring 2011 closed WINN PERRY STORE. as you know i am a great INDY fan and i love oxford shoes with a workman attitude. owning and loving some pairs of different RED WING oxfords styles i must admit that these ALDENs are outstanding. made of brown HORWEEN CHROMEXCEL leather, including 6 matching metal eyelets and a flat 360welt with natural finish and the typical white stitching. the shoe features not the INDY typical neoprene cork sole but a waterlock oiled leather sole. great! pics | WINN PERRY
great ALDEN INDY BOOT modification by one of my most beloved shops THE BUREAU BELFAST. classic INDY in KUDU antelope leather with an oil finish on a fat #2021 VIBRAM sole, as you know my favorite sole. more INDY features: 5 brass eyelets and 4 speedhooks, flat waxed laces, contrast stitching on the toe, reverse split welt. awesome. most sizes available. pics | The Bureau Belfast
what an awesome smart boot: ALDEN #405 SNUFF SUEDE in collaboration with netherlands FRANS BOONE. classic workboot style with an antique crepe sole edge trim, speedhooks and in a perfect suede color. FRANS makes such great photos for presentation in his online shop. not only from this beautiful boot but of all his products. this is nearly photo art! great views and uncommon perspectives. it is always exciting to check his online store. really well done! wonderful pics | FRANS BOONE
okay, this is not a boot, but a classic wonderful looking SADDLE SHOE. with a nice color combination which is named black alpine/whiskey. the shoe is made of an alpine/cordovan leather and has a natural plantation crepe sole. this ALDEN x LEFFOT collaboration shoe is completely awesome. the price is unfortunately extraordinary similar to the look. pics | LEFFOT
for the weekend a smooth and soft INDY BOOT in tan suede – awesome. this boot can now be pre-ordered at great LEFFOT, nyc. the boot is featuring trubalance last and a brick micro sole and a guaranteed spectacular look. pics | LEFFOT
FREDRIK from SIVLETTO & UNIONVILLE, sweden, send me some information about a new swedish denim brand – and NEZUMI sounds interesting. this 2011 established premium jeans brand is from stockholm, sweden, founded by DAVID CAMPO CARDENES.
“the brand name NEZUMI means “rat” in japanese. the inspiration for the brand name comes from a book that DAVID read as a child about a legendary thief called NEZUMI KOZO who lived in japan during the EDO period. it is said that he stole from the wealthy samurai and gave to the poor turning the petty crook into a folk hero.”
DAVID’s passion for denim starts long ago and in 2002 he decided to search a factory in sweden which could make jeans – for years he couldn’t find one. but in 2011 he found a swedish family owned factory. with these people and their know-how he started NEZUMI by releasing the N 0-2-50 – seen on the pics below – limited to 50 pairs. here some facts: regular rise, slightly tapered legs, button fly, premium 13.5 oz rigid selvage denim from CONE DENIM, WHITE OAK, usa, … the hand debossed natural tanned patch is made of genuine full grain vegetable leather from TÄRNSJÖ TANNERY in sweden. interesting? indeed! and beside: the rugged INDY BOOT worn in the photo shooting is mega awesome. pics | NEZUMI
last friday between OLLI THE BARBER and another photo shooting i went to KLAUS to pick up a rain jacket that works from ARC’TERYX VEILANCE. so i just could take some impressions of the new ALDEN & YUKETEN stuff KLAUS got a day before. the complete stuff is really awesome from the mocs over the main guide boots, the blucher and indie styles over to the leather bags. it will took some time to bring the stuff to the online shop, KLAUS said because today the order marathon starts for him with the PITTI UOMO at FIRENCE, italy. if you can’t wait for the stuff to order online, contact him and his staff at volls.de. bad pics | LTG
these boots look so nice and perfect rugged in – awesome. it’s an ebay offer and what a pitty – or what a luck – not my size. black calfskin, i think about 6 inch high, US12 e/w and a black vibram #2021 which fits this ALDEN boot so good – great look. pics | distinctivefootwear
one of my smartest boots. so i mostly wear this one when i have business dates and meetings. very smart silhouette and mega comfortable. when i got these boots new i just put them on and i felt so well. great fit. perfect work by ALDEN.
