LTG CAP & HAT COLLECTION | 04 | THE SUMMER STRAW BOWLER BY SCHMITTHUT

i got this wonderful stray BOWLER this summer. especially hand made for me by hat maker and artisan SUSANNE SCHMITT c/o SCHMITTHUT, darmstadt, germany. what a wonderful work. best fit as usual when i get a SCHMITTHUT hat and an awesome straw structure. i like the classic bowler type combined with this normally known material for other hat types like pork pie, fedora or trilby. and always exciting to watch the photos of the process how my hats were made – please take a closer look. pics | SCHMITTHUT & LTG

LTG CAP & HAT COLLECTION | 01 | THE “POPEYE HAT” by SCHMITTHUT

this hat is the first i bought at wonderful SCHMITTHUT. it is called the “POPEYE HAT” – a must-have for me as a great POPEYE fan. made completely by hand from d’artisan hat maker SUSANNE SCHMIDT. a perfect extraordinary piece. it is “made till the end”, that means for me that this hat is not just a cotton sailor hat. take look at the lining, best materials and well done with a lot of hand made work. pics | LTG , Fred c/o redwing1905.blogspot.com

LTG FAVORITES #93 | BOWLER HAT BY SCHMITTHUT – HOW IT WAS MADE STEP BY STEP

2 weeks ago i picked up my new brown BOWLER hat @ SCHMITTHUT. and sorry to say so, but it is true: STETSON, BRIXTON, BORSALINO and all the others, you do a very good job but there is no hat better than one made by hand especially for your own head. it is the same with a made-to-measure suit. SUSANNE made again such a great job and the hat fits more than perfect. it is the third hat she made for me and i love’em all. the next bowler is in progress: made of straw for summer.  pics | Susanne Schmitt, LTG

STUFF FROM MY RUGGED LITTLE BOY

today some stuff from my 6 years old son LEVI. like me he is a great denim, boot and hat lover. the cowboy shirt you see below was a present from UWE c/o AMTRAQ. his son was wearing this original ROCKMOUNT RANCH WEAR shirt before. great quality, made in the USA. another beloved piece is the ATELIER LA DURANCE NOVELTY JACKET. great classic look and best manufacturing – from the time when ALD was made in france! i bought this jacket years ago at B74 knowing that it will fit LEVI some day. and the BLUNDSTONE boots. damn, poor boots: this one are just 1/2 year old. LEVI’S most beloved shoes. he has always two pairs with the same size. one pair has always a day to relax after heavy wear over an exciting school and outdoor day. i think i bought about 6 pairs the last 3 years. the TICK, TRICK & TRACK hat is from SCHMITTHUT. it is older than 10 years and it was mine before i gave it to LEVI, my first SCHMITTHUT hat. it was always a bit too small for my head. pics | LTG
