THE BARACUTA BOW TIE | XMAS PRESENT BY KLAUS VOLL c/o VOLLS.DE

yesterday after i finished my weekend run i entered on my way home volls.de to wish KLAUS and his staff IKRAM and BURCU a merry christmas. it was a bit funny, because they looked at me if i was an alien between all the well dressed clients in there. i was sweating so much and wearing my running clothes over all my beloved silver shining NIKE vest. KLAUS gave me the bow tie below as a gift and i was really surprised and happy about this special bow tie. i love bow ties … and KLAUS, as i told you, i will wear it on christmas evening. great stuff: i like the different patterns of the bow tie and the strap – really nice! KLAUS’ shop i left as fast as i could. and don’t miss the great sale @ volls.de . pics | LTG

BOOT OF THE DAY | #150 | YUKETEN PLAIN TOE UTILITY BOOTS

volls.de got a new delivery from YUKETEN. some new boots and very nice bags. there is a new boot i never saw before: the PLAIN TOE UTILITY BOOT in moss suede with a white contrast heel cap. a great color combination which is completed by one of my favorite VIBRAM soles: the # 2021 in grey brown. beside the suede version of this UTILITY BOOT there is another boot in a chestnut brown smooth leather also with the #2021 sole. this boot looks a bit smarter and classic. pics | volls.de

OLLI THE BARBER | KING OLLI x THE PEACOCKS

i know OLLI THE BARBER, i think since summer 2000. i met him on a barbecue when KLAUS from volls.de was celebrating his move to a wonderful old building apartment over the rooftops of darmstadt, germany. from now on i went to OLLI to cut my hair and from 2004 till 2005 OLLI was the singer of a band project named ARMSTRONG where i played the drums. i just checked some photos from our last gig in april 2005 – damn, this is nearly 8 years ago. now OLLI plays upright bass and sings in a band named KING OLLI with 2 other ollis. this is not a joke: the drummer, the guitar player and the bass player have all the same name: OLLI … what a fluke! they call their style of music country’n’blues’n’punk’n’roll. next saturday they will play a gig and share the stage with famous THE PEACOCKS from switzerland. the concert will be at SAALBAU KINO in pfungstadt near darmstadt. just a few tickets are left. i got one ;-)))) pics | LTG, THomas Goos, The Peacocks

ROCKY MOUNTAIN FEATHERBED @ VOLLS.DE

last week KLAUS got his ROCKY MOUNTAIN FEATHERBED order. for years i wanted to check up this stuff but i did not know a dealer in germany to take a look at. now i know one! and i must tell you the vests and parkas are how i like to say “grosses kino!”. i love the classic look, especially the leather western yokes at each vest on the shoulder part. my absolute favorite is the black CHRISTY VEST but also take a look at the other pieces below: awesome color combinations and materials. all vests have a shearling lined leather collar, special made NYLON TAFFETA for a crispy touch, white goose down blended with feather for best volume and heat insulation, double action handwarmer pockets with a zipped interior pocket. made in japan. great detail: the western pearl snaps of the black and the antique denim vest. pics | LTG & volls.de

RED WING SHOES # 101 POSTMAN

2 days ago i posted that KLAUS from volls.de has had a surprise for me: it was a present. a special present: the iconic # 101 from RED WING SHOES – the POSTMAN. it took me a long time to think about the fact if i like the shoe or not. i always asked me if i should give it a try. now KLAUS did the decision for me and i must tell you this classic shoe is an absolute must have for RED WING lovers. it looks great at the feet, is mega comfortable and full of heritage. thanks again KLAUS. i got my # 101 as a thx from KLAUS for our good teamwork and my support in marketing and design for volls.de. we did a lot the last time and i think our little team works perfect. i am curios about our next projects and exciting about the new designed packages. hope they will arrive soon! pics | LTG

LTG FAVORITES #76 | RED MOON WALLETS

i think it is about 4 years ago i bought these 2 RED MOON LONG WALLETS @ volls.de . as you can see the brown one is rugged for years. the black one i just wore several times. for the next time the brown one can rest a while and the black one will be rugged in. japanese RED MOON stands for best quality. i never have had a damage and the wallet is getting better and better with every day of wear. highly priced but these wallets pay off! meanwhile it is difficult to get’em in europe. but i don’t care – i own two! at RAKUTEN you can get the black one for a horrible price i never would have been payed … crazy … pics | LTG
