BLACK VEGETABLE LEATHER SUNGLASS CASE | by ONDURA – DURABLE GOODS

A few days ago I got an envelope addressed by ONDURA. ONDURA? I heard about but where? And while opening i got an idea: i know it from the BURG & SCHILD blog. Yes, ONDURA DURABLE GOODS is the Label behind German LEENS JAN ONDRA. He has an interesting story and I am really happy, that he send me this great sunglass case to check it … and for sure for me it is an honor to write something about it. The case from the “Black Bear”-Edition has a great touch, made of 3 mm high quality vegetable leather. It is hand sewn and the “nose” is made from European beech wood. Because I also wear optical glasses I know what a good glass case makes a good one: and this one is a perfect one. The functionality is impressing even when I put my fat framed glasses to it. It is always easy to close the case, nothing is to tight, to bulky. Next time I will order the another one – I think a tan one. And for sure everything is made by hand here in Germany. Sustainability is really important for LEENS. The leather he uses is from a small tannery just around the corner and all the other needed stuff is from the region he lives. His motto is “Local Goods – Think global buy local.” Authenticity and durability are a matter of course to the products he creates and produces. The product range is growing constant. Please hheck his site for more information about this creative craftman and his work. pics sunglass case | LTG // others pics | © ONDURA

10 MUST-HAVE-X-MAS-PRESENTS | #09 | TANNER GOODS WORKMAN WALLET

i love my wallets from TANNER GOODS. so i needed these in black and oxblood. as you see in the pics below the oxblood colored is my favorit. i own it now for a year and since i got it, i wore it nearly everyday. just changed sometimes to the black one or the TANNER GOODS card holder. the wallets are made of 3.5 oz HORWEEN CHROMEXCEL, feature four cards slots in which you can put easily more than just one card, two interior pockets for cash and receipts, one zippered coin pocket, which i do not use because of avoiding my cards crashing. each wallet is burnished, dyed, waxed and stamped with the TANNER GOODS signature maker’s mark by hand. the oxblood wallet i usually combine with the original LONG TETHER and sometimes with a lanyard from PETER FIELDS. the black one i combine with an OBBI GOOD LABEL wallet chain i got from BURG & SCHILD. AMTRAQ does the distribution for TANNER GOODS in germany, austria, switzerland, netherlands and belgium. please check this link where to get this perfect wallets: AMTRAQ stockists. pics | LTG

EDWIN x BURG & SCHILD COLLABORATION | BLACK COLLECTION 14OZ BLACK / BLACK RED LISTED SELVAGE DENIM

because of not being in berlin to join the 5th anniversary party of BURG & SCHILD i saved a lot of traveling money and so i ordered some anniversary stuff to celebrate this party with KAY, SHANE and TIM from out of my hometown. this mega black piece of denim is the second part of my order and i am really impressed about this. i never saw such a black denim before. the pockets are black twill and internally printed. with its 14oz. black/black red listed selvage denim from japanese mill, kaihara, it is very comfortable. and it has a lot of awesome details like the donut buttons, made from copper metal and hand panited with black enamel, or BURG & SCHILD leather patch that has been hand cut and hand embossed. i got number 44 of 100 limited pieces, numbered by hand – fifty pieces, 10 for each year B&S had been working with EDWIN. great idea and nice extra: every jeans comes in hand made tote bag made of recycled military ground sheets. everything is perfect, absolute … pics | LTG

CONGRATULATIONS TO BURG & SCHILD’S 5TH ANNIVERSARY

he guys very well done!

SHANE and KAY stay tuned for the next 5 years and many more! 
i am still sad that i couldn’t join your party last saturday – saw the pics on facebook. 
looking great – as i expected.

now for me the circle with BURG & SCHILD is closed. after opening the shop in 2007 i did a story about B&S in germanys r’n’r magazine #1 DYNAMITE in spring 2008. i worked for the mag amongst others as the art director and one of the editors at this time. i met KAY at an event at B-74 and we talked about B&S – it was amazing. i went to the store for the first time in january 2009 when i joined the second floor show at 14oz. this year i joined the BEER, BIKES AND BURGER party and it was like meeting old friends although i saw SHANE & KAY the third time. now i got the 5th anniversary B&S boot the black ltd. RED WING LOGGER #2007. so the first circle is closed and we opened a second one … 
more details about the boot and some other 5th anniversary stuff next week.

and beside, this was LIFE TIME GEAR’s 1001 post. i forgot to do an anniversary post, … but in this case, i think it doesn’t matter. pics | LTG
