OLLI THE BARBER vs. LIFE TIME GEAR GOATSKIN LANYARD

long time ago OLLI THE BARBER and me had the idea to develop something in collaboration for maybe selling or just give away to good friends. so OLLI did this lanyard for long wallets or knives out of goatskin. i love it. the pieces you see in the photos are just samples. we think about other possibilities for fixation, f.ex. fishhooks. the project is still in progress but i think it looks very good right now and believe me, the lanyard is so strong but flexible at the same time – and very well looking. the knot technic is absolutely perfect. no adhesive is used, the leather holds itself. never saw this before. great idea OLLI! and thank you so much to do a little lanyard for my little LEVI’S REDMOON wallet. see you tomorrow morning for my hair cut refreshed talking about our OTB vs. LTG projects …  pics | LTG

FROM THE ARCHIVES – 2004 | LIFE TIME GEAR COLLECTING WESTERN BOOTS

this shot was made in 2004! as a “pic of the editor” for german DYNAMITE! magazine. long time ago. there you can see some of my western boots. it was not the whole collection but the most beloved boots you can see in the front. all boots in the first line are custom made in texas. since i got my femoral neck fractured in a roadbike accident 2007 i do not wear western boots so often. so i sold some not american made boots, but all my LUCCHESEs and custom boots i still own. i would never sell these wonderful boots. pic | LTG

FROM THE ARCHIVES – 2009 | LIFE TIME GEAR & NIGEL CABOURN

4 years ago from the 28th – 31th of january 2009 i did a trip to BERLIN to 14 oz. SECOND FLOOR SHOW where i met NIGEL CABOURN in person. i have had 3 wonderful days meeting a lot of people! i remember the first evening very well when KARL-HEINZ MÜLLER did a big event at TEMPELHOF and told the public that BREAD & BUTTER will be back in berlin summer 2009. what a party! great. it was the first time for me to get in contact with all these crazy and cracked people. 12 months later i started LIFE TIME GEAR blog. pics | Fred from redwing 1905 blog

FROM THE ARCHIVES – 2005 | LTG SAYS HO HO HO

another pic from the archives: 2005 we did this unprofessional shoot for a simple and fast xmas greeting card for my design studio. a few days later little LEVI was born. it was so cold and snowing – no fake. damn, i got a lot of more wrinkles the last 7 years and my beard wasn’t so big. i loved this jacket and this was not a FILSON jacket, it was a limited WOOLRICH WOOLEN MILLS parka which i had to give back because it lost the downs. i was really sad because i didn’t get it back. i got another ltd. WOOLRICH arctic parka with a wool blanket lining but this one wasn’t so old school as the classic red/black checkered one. so … HO HO HO – i wish you all an exciting ST NICHOLAS’ DAY.  pic | LTG

BACK ON THE TRACK | LTG GOES MTB

after 1 1/2 year without biking i am back on track. no more road biking but beside running i will do some trips with my ROTWILD mtb the next time for relaxing the legs. today i did a short trip with my copywriter PETER – awesome. the forest and the air, smelling the autumn coming. but it was beginning raining so hard after 15 km and it got so cold – so we turned to go back these 15 km. damn, at the end it was so f***ing wet, freezy and dirty, but it was great to be on the track again. pics | LTG
