LTG BOOT & SHOE COLLECTION | 24 | THE REAL McCOY’S FIELD SHOES N-1

after a five months break i will continue my LTG BOOT & SHOE COLLECTION series. the boot today is really outstanding and this not only because of the price – this one is so well done and crafted. it is a replica of the N-1 official US NAVY BOOT during WWII, which was called the “BOONDOCKER”. the people at REAL McCOY’S found an original boot which was really hard to find. and from this boot they took all the specifications and made a – sorry for me – one of the most perfect boots, you can get today. love the triple stitching details and enjoy the perfect fitting day by day. i got my boots from volls.de but he did not put these nice pieces online. another option here in europe is superdenim in the UK. important: size down half a number (US size). pics | LTG

LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #65 | EBBETS FIELD FLANNELS CAPS

i am always looking for cool hats & rare caps. caps especially with my initials E and J or L for LIFE TIME GEAR. now i found a cap @ the EBBETS FIELD FLANNELS website: an old 1946 NEWARK EAGLES ballcap. great stuff – yesterday the cap arrived – no customs yeah! last year i bought three other flannel caps from EBBETS FIELD @ superdenim without any letters or graphics – i love these simple style. they are my most worn caps. the caps are made in the USA in the best quality a cap could be made – absolutely perfect! EFF needed just 5 days to send me the cap from SEATTLE without any express order or extra money. it’s a must to check their very well done website. beside the caps they have great AUTHENTIC FLANNEL BASEBALL SHIRTS – one is nicer than the other. it is the same to the different kind of jackets. pics | LTG & Ebbets Field Flannels
