THE HILL-SIDE SPRING / SOMMER @ VOLLS.DE

it was a really nice and funny morning @ VOLLS this saturday with a lot of good coffee from APERÓ vis-à-vis. and it was exciting too! meeting BURCU, one of volls’ shop assistants, 10 minutes before openinng we wanted to get and just inside the alarm went on. what a noise … closed down by the security it went on a second time when we passed the shop area. then it was quite again and KLAUS came in. so i had the possibility to check some new deliveries. very nice the new S/S THE HILLSIDE collection. have a nice spring weekend. pics | Klaus Voll & LTG

LIFE TIME GEAR @ VOLLS

yesterday morning i visited my buddy KLAUS, owner of VOLLS shop, darmstadt, germany, and volls.de. it is always nice to have a change in an exhausting working week, even it is only about an hour. speaking about local news, upcoming collections and checking some stuff arrived the last days. one of my actual new favorites KLAUS got these days: MERZ B. SCHWANEN. really great stuff – you feel the passion and heritage the makers put in the pieces when you touch it, see it and feel it by wearing. and beside me my wife loves it, too. another highlight yesterday where some extraordinary pieces from EDWIN OVERWORKING. pretty nice and extremely exclusive but damn expensive. KLAUS is heavy working on his online shop update for S/S 2012 while is waiting for more new stuff to come from ENGINEERED GARMENTS, POST OVERALLS, ALDEN, and and and. what a pitty, half an hour later when i left KLAUS the new LEVIS VINTAGE CLOTHING stuff arrived. yep, another reason to come back soon next week. i will keep you updated for the online shop update. pics | LTG

WEEKEEEEEEEEEEEND! sorry, many questions about the orange sweater, too: it is from GRP’s s/s collection soon available online @ volls.de. i think KLAUS will kick of his relaunched summer website next week – so stay tuned. pics | FRED B.

GRAIG LEWIS vs. KLAUS VOLL | BORN ON THE 10TH JAN.

hi KLAUS,  all the best to your 45th birthday! 12 days are left and i will reach the same age level! every year it’s the same. again i wish you: have a lot of fun today at PITTI UOMO in Firenze. AND maybe we could join the fair together next year – hope again so. stay tuned and take care – above all on the racebike. have a good trip back to germany. stay tuned!























damn, that’s me on the left side. long time ago.KLAUS is the second from the right. this pic was made nearly 2 years ago. 
today: no racebike any more – i still have that shit piece of metal in my shoulder. KLAUS next fall we’ll do some trips with 
the MTB – promised!

BOOT OF THE DAY | #100 | YUKETEN “JOHNNY”

damn, again a new boot. it is a pity when you know someone like KLAUS and KAMI selling boots. selling even those boots you mostly like. yes, i did: this brown YUKETEN called “JOHNNY” has found its way into my cupboard. JOHNNY is so beautiful, so easy to wear and comfortable, so classic styled, so heritage … simply a PEFECT BOOT. not so heavy as a WHITE’s and by far not so work boot look-a-like as a RED WING SHOE. some more facts: chrome excel leather, leather laces, medallion tip, width D, goodyear welt construction, CATS PAW SOLE,  leather insole with cushioned footbedand leather laces, handmade in CANADA. JOHNNY is a welcome change in my boot line up. volls.de got the JOHNNY in brown and in black – hm, and the black one is really pretty, too. pics | volls.de






THE HILLSIDE | F/W COLLECTION @ VOLLS.DE

the last years i always had to order my HILLSIDE scarfs from the US or  from the UK. but right now … great: KLAUS from volls.de did a big order and offers 13! different scarfs and pocket squares in his online shop and store. i never saw such a great choice of HILLSIDE stuff outside the USA. one piece nicer than the other. all made of 100% cotton in NEW YORK CITY with different washings and weights. great stuff! here my favorites.  pics | volls.de



HOWLIN BY MORRISON | @ volls.de

it’s always nice to discover new labels in blogs or online shops. but it is pretty nicer if you have the chance to see and feel the stuff live. so it happens with HOWLIN BY MORRISON. KLAUS from volls.de got a great delivery of their new collection and i love it. he says: “Founded 1981 as a family driven company,  the sons Jan and Patrick Olyslager decided to inject a new impulse into the label and created Howlin by as a playful and more progressive counterpart of the classic touched Morrison. Full of colour and somehow ironic the way of manufacturing remains traditional, the collection offers more inspiration by fantasy, fitting and pattern. ” all pieces are quit nice and you’ll find much more at volls.de. below there is an informative article about KLAUS and volls.de from german TEXTILWIRTSCHAFT. hit the link below the pic and you will get a readable bigger size of it.
