THE RISING SUN & CO. DUCK MACHINIST CAP

the blogposts about my birthday presents will not end …  the DUCK MACHINIST CAP from the RISING SUN & CO is one of my absolute favorite caps since UWE c/o AMTRAQ gave it to me. it is nearly a bit to big but i love the style the cap fits my head. mostly with the shield fold up – cool! some features: made of 100% american made cotton duck, traditional 6 panel cap with half inch button down headband, 3/8″ double needle chain stitched binding, medium length soft bill with multiple stitch construction, brass metal stamped RISING SUN & CO logo button with black enamel finish. the cap is also available in brown. pics | LTG

at the beginning of november 2012 i met MARIA c/o FEINSCHMUCK and ALEXANDER c/o because blog with UWE from AMTRAQ. MARIA & ALEX gave me a present – the best they could give me as great POPEYE fan from childhood on: an awesome POPEYE TALISMAN made by FEINSCHMUCK. it was so hard not to post this beautiful piece the last weeks because the product launch will be next week at BREAD & BUTTER in berlin at the AMTRAQ stall – but UWE gave me the GO for today. by the way: thanks again so much MARIA & ALEX for this LIFE TIME GEAR. i wear POPEYE nearly every day. beside this medallion FEINSCHMUCK did some other stuff which will be distributed by AMTRAQ. one highlight is the POPEYE BELT. the result of a collaboration between FEINSCHMUCK & TANNER GOODS. check out the other stuff below: vintage western buckles, popeye belt buckles and medallions in different looks and a mega beautifull heavy anchor. all FEINSCHMUCK bronze objects are locally manufactured by a small team in bavaria, germany. i am really excited about the feedback at B&B. pics | LTG &  AMTRAQ

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

LUST AUF GUT | RED WING SHOE STORE FRANKFURT & B74

saturday evening i went to frankfurt, main, to meet ALEXANDER from BECAUSE BLOG with MARIA and UWE from AMTRAQ DISTRIBUTION. all together we joined an event and small fashion show at B74. this show was organized by the city of frankfurt in context of the MTV EUROPEAN MUSIC AWARDS which took place yesterday. they used the B74 as a location for a small fashion show of frankfurt located label COCOLORES. all the stuff has had nothing to do with the stuff KAMI sells at B74 and RED WING STORE FRANKFURT. but it was nice to meet some friends there and exciting what was happening. beside the show i found LUST AUF GUT journal with some very well done sites portraying B74 and THE RWS STORE.  cool layout, really well done. pics | LTG

LIFE TIME GEAR | FAVORITES #61 | REYN SPOONER HAWAII SHIRTS

S U M M E R T I M E ! in february i did a first post about REYN SPOONER HAWAII SHIRTS when presenting AMTRAQ DISTRIBUTION. UWE gave me some time ago three shirts. and now these shirts are tested by 30°C outside in the shadow and i must tell you: just perfect to wear, lightweight, fresh looking with an old school touch, no sweating – i love it. and believe me, there is really a great difference in the performance of a real hawaiian shirt or a a wanna be indeed! here again the significant characteristics of an authentic hawaiian shirt made by REYN SPOONER:

_ the shirt has to be a straight seam with side vents; not round like shirts worn into a trouser
_ pockets that do not break into the pattern design
_ POP OVER or PULL OVER cut for pulling over the head
_ REVERSE PRIN. this means that the shirt is printed inside. so the pattern is not so expressive and looks smarter. a look like bleached from the sun and the saltwater

when i visited UWE @ AMTRAQ DISTRIBUTION he gave me 2 different TELLASON jeans. since this day on i wore my slim tapered 12.5 oz white oak cone mills denim named Ladbroke Grove nearly every day. great cut, perfect fit, comfortable, best looking – awesome. TELLASON stuff is made in san francisco – all material and components are made in the USA. beside the Ladbroke Grove there are 2 other styles: Johan Graham Mellor & Ankara. in summer there will be a new one which will be named Gustave. PETE & TONY from TELLASON are great THE CLASH fans. so all jeans’ styles are concerned to the famous english punkband. Ladbroke Grove f.ex. is a part of LONDON where JOE STRUMMER grew up. available for fall/winter 2012 @ volls.de and B-74.

here some features of TELLASON jeans:

AMTRAQ | DISTRIBUTION | #03 SPORTSWEAR REG.

yet another company distributed by UWE’s AMTRAQ: Sportswear reg. A young italian company, born in 2008, influenced by used american apparel from gyms, military and workwear – from the 30s to the early 80s. i did not see anything live but the stuff on the pics UWE sent me looks really authentic with a lot of love for details – i like this style very much. all pieces are produced with original fabrics and prints; the labels and hangtags are hand stamped. and very special – good idea, because i love limited stuff: every season there will be 1 shirt und 2 t-shirts hand-painted, delivered in a special box – strictly limited. exciting. UWE, the LAMBCHOP cards are stored in my cupboard. hope to see your showroom before the gig. pics | AMTRAQ
