thx WOUTER for this nice present with my last order. wonderful colored bandana!!!

ASSOS EQUIPE jersey – best cycle wear ever!

CARHARTT U-LOCK only nice but not practicabel because too small

a great piece: from GRP; volls.de

my one and only NIKE ID piece

very important: good ear-phones for running from BOSE – the best i ever had

the nicest winter paraka i ever owned. there couldn’t be a better color for the NIGEL CABOURN EVEREST PARKA than orange. 3 years old but still the best color although there are some fine new ones. 

my beloved HASSIA GRAPE SCHORLE – drinking for years – so fresh and sugar free


LTG’s NIGEL CABOURN x EDDIE BAUER CAMOUFLAGE VEST

damn, it’s getting colder and colder in middle germany. time to get my NC x EB vest out of the cupboard. sold all my other vests to afford this f***ing expensive piece. so just 2 vests are left – the best i ever had: 2 CANADIAN OVERVESTS. the woolen checkerd one isn’t available anymore! i like this. the camo one is actually available @ volls.de. beside you’ll find there a lot of information about the CANADIAN OVERVEST and two colors more. pics | LTG

RED WING SHOES x NIGEL CABOURN | THE VIDEO: INSIGHT THE MUNSON BOOT

very interesting. 2 masterminds – GABOR MAGYAR, RW HERITAGE, and NIGEL himself – are talking about this great boot, about the result of the first collaboration between RWS & NIGEL CABOURN. enjoy! and sorry – most important: the boot is now available at f.ex volls.de and the RED WING STORES in BERLIN, HAMBURG and FRANKFURT and all other selected retailers. vid | RED WING HERITAGE

LIFE TIME GEAR | OUTFIT BY VOLLS.DE

yesterday i have had a photo shooting for an upcoming campaign i am not allowed to talk or write about. the photos below were made before the shooting at casino, wiesbaden, germany, in between light and position tests. the shooting was made with a client of me and a german celebrity. it was really cool and smooth and the results are perfect. AND i got back home for the kickoff GERMANY vs. NETHERLANDS just to the point. why showing these photos? it’s funny, because of a complete volls.de outfit: NIGEL CABOURN oiled aircraft jacket, GITMAN VINTAGE shirt, JOHNSON MOTORS bandana, FILSON paded laptop bag, EDWIN ED-A1, POST OVERALLS vest … damn, the volls.de advertisement sticker is missing. i should talk about sponsoring with KLAUS, just joking, … and WOUTER, you found the LONG JOHN tag? pics | christian grau


POST FROM NIGEL CABOURN | SHOW DATES SPRING 2013 COLLECTION

last saturday i found a very nice designed envelope in my postbox. beside all the uncountable emails every week it is always a great pleasure finding “real post” in the postbox – almost old school …. even more if the sender sticker is from NIGEL CABOURN. very well done the new mailing for the show dates, where and when the upcoming spring 2013 collection will be shown. awesome pic headed “THE ARMY ISN’T ALL WORK”, printed on water color paper – LIKE! hope to see the stuff @ B&B in july. pics | LTG


LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #53 | NIGEL CABOURN, CARHARTT, RED WING SHOES … ALL CAMOUFLAGE

i love camouflage, by sure i am not a military fan. i did my military services 20 years ago, this was okay but enough. i just like the pattern. and the worst thing you can do is wearing all this stuff together … an absolute NO-GO! just wearing one camo piece combined with non-camo is allowed. the difference from pattern to pattern is really interesting. mostly i like the classic US ARMY camouflage design from f.ex. the CARHARTT Heritage Settler Jacket, the NEW ERA STAPLE CAP and the bow tie. beside the NIGEL CABOURN designs are although very nice and special. the beeswax ARMY & CAMO CAMERAMAN JACKET is really cool and not so loud. the RED WING # 8150 and NC NAVAL PARKA SAND CAMO i like so much because of their alone standing design. especially the RWS 8150 is something special because of its strictly limited status. and at least my old brand new VOLKSWAGEN. not really camo but tan! i don’t know why all the people starring at my car? … pics | LTG, end., ushowu


NIGEL CABOURN | SCOTT’S LAST EXPEDITION BOOK

now i know why so many people spoke about NC’s book SCOTT’S LAST EXPEDITION. as a graphic designer i got nervous 2 days ago when FRED from RW1905 blog gave me the small paperboard box with the embossed headline SCOTT’S LAST EXPEDITION as a gift. AWESOME … just awesome. there is nothing more to say. a great collection of historic pics combined with NC’s upcoming “SLE” stuff photographed by great ALEX TELFER. i know that the book is strictly limited and rare. thx again FRED – you gave me something special! bad pics | LTG


NIGEL CABOURN | SCOTT’S LAST EXPEDITION by ALEX TELFER

readers of my blog know that i am a great NIGEL CABOURN fan. i can’t remember a piece of any collection i did not like. but what i found some days ago was the climax: NIGEL CABOURN – SCOTT’S LAST EXPEDITION 1912 – 2012  photographed by ALEX TELFER. fantastic pieces, awesome photos: simply PERFECT. i saw a lot of B&B photos from the collection but these photos are the best NIGEL could get. i can’t image to do that better. most respect to mr. TELFER. for more information about ALEX and the NC’s special collection check ALEX TELFERS facbook site. pics | ALEX TELFER

NIGEL CABOURN | NEW POCKET TENZING JACKET

from the actual SS12 AUTHENTIC COLLECTION, inspired by the clothing worn by the DESERT RATS – the british african troops during WWII, commanded by general MONTGOMERY. the TENZING JACKET is  an iconic NC piece, which is and was available in different styles and fabrics, but this one is really extraordinary. available at UK’s endclothing – just arrived with a lot of other NC stuff. check the new “NC ARMY PLIMSOLE” shoes. great fit to the new camou TENZING JACKET. i should start saving some money. pics | endclothing
