LIFE TIME GEAR | PRIVATE FAVORITES XVIII “VINTAGE BELTS“

i just have 3 belts i wear every day. all are from DUKES, all are vintage d’artisan military belts which are
about 30/40 years old. each belt is hand cleaned with special composed leather lotions and hand painted
or embossed. every belt is unique and authentic. available at volls.de and B-74.de. bad pics | Life Time Gear


my first DUKES, about 4 years old, very simple without any paintings or ornaments (in the middle of the pic above)

my second DUKES, about 3 years old, japanese inspired crane scenes
EL COMMANDANTE my third DUKES, about 1/2 a year old, KLAUS from volls.de call it “the mother of all belts“ – indeed!

LIFE TIME GEAR | PRIVATE FAVORITES XI “MUSIC ON-THE-GO“

last time i had a lot to walk because of my broken clavicle. driving a car was not possible, going
by bus was dangerous because of maybe hitting someone and cycling is still strictly forbidden.
so i decided to get some new headphones for my iphone to enjoy some music by walking.
yeah – and i found some: the MARSHALL MAJOR. great sounding and heavy old school looking.
these mini MARSHALL headphones are sensational. a perfect quartet combining my beloved
vintage customized DUKES belt with the BILLYKIRK #90 belt pouch an iphone and the MAJOR.

LIFE TIME GEAR | PRIVATE FAVORITES IX “WINTERWEAR #2“

it is still snowing and very cold in middle germany near frankfurt/main. my favorite parka
is still in revision but my buddy KAMI from B74 gave me another LIFE TIME GEAR piece:
a SPIEWAK N3A PARKA from the golden fleece series. great stuff: lightweight and comfortable
but very warm. it works great with the quilted POST OVERALLs vest. VOLLS got a lot of
POST O’ stuff two weeks ago. is there another shop in germany who sells this great stuff
from NYC? i don’t think so. but the best for deep snow walking are my WHITE’S HATHORN
SMOKEJUMPER with their heavy vibram trekking sole – these boots are what i call
LIFE TIME GEAR!
