LTG FAVORITES #74 | THE MERZ B. SCHWANEN SWEATER #343

today i went to KLAUS @ volls.de just for a visit. but it is always the same on these fridays. after a hard working week, having about one hour to hang around @ volls it is so difficult not to buy something in this relaxed good mood. this day it took the MERZ B SCHWANEN sweater with the eskimo vintage print “ESKIMO QUALITÄT” with me. what a wonderful germany made piece of 100% cotton, rib trinagle insert on front and back and triangle inserts under the sleeve in a clasic greymelange. awesome like all the MERZ B. SCHWANEN stuff. all styles, shirts and long sleeves, are so well done and you feel the love to the product PETER and DIRK take to their collections. pics | LTG

LTG VISITING KLAUS @ VOLLS.DE | A FRIDAY TRADITION

yesterday i did the same i always try to do on a friday afternoons: just for one hour, if i have the opportunity, gladly for more than just one fucking hour i visit my buddy KLAUS @ volls.de talking about the important things the last week happened and discussing the new stuff that came in. so it happened yesterday. there was a bit more than one hour but there was no time to talk because of the high customer frequence. maybe i should plan my visits for friday mornings at 08:00 am. but i could take a look at the new NIGEL CABOURN collection KLAUS ordered and some other nice stuff like the new BIRKENSTOCK “ BOSTON”, some new RED WING BOOTS. the IRON RANGER BROGUES, the #8196 and the 2940 arrived! and i must tell you that the BOSTONS are really great. myself i won tow pairs since a long time and they look pretty cool with some rugged denim and shirts. so i saw them BRETT VIBERG wearing and the guys from MERZ B. SCHWANEN @ BREAD & BUTTER this summer. a really cool and comfortable alternative to “un-booty” days. i think KLAUS will launch his online shop soon. pics | LTG

UNIVERSAL WORKS @ VOLLS.DE

damn, a lot of work since i am back from spain finished my holidays. no time for the family, no time to visit my friends, no time for a cruise through the city, no time to talk to buddies, no time for nothing … my rare free time i just spent for running to get my head free for managing daily work! okay, friday afternoon i had some time to visit my buddy KLAUS @ volls.de. chaos! the shop was full – full of people AND full of a lot of new F/W stuff. there was no time to talk to KLAUS or his staff. so i just asked for some news to take some photos for LTG and KLAUS gave me the UNIVERSAL WORKS stuff which just came in on thursday. F***! amazing! i just own one piece from UW but i know all the last collections by the web very well and i like it so much. but seeing and touching KLAUS’ order by real was great. i took some fast and simple shots of vests, jackets and shirts to show you. i love this simple style and the materials the stuff is made of – the brand name is program: UNIVERSAL WORKS! details will follow later. stay tuned! pics | LTG

REDWING1905 x LIFE TIME GEAR | FRED x ERIC

some days ago i got a letter from the USA. hm, who should write me a letter from the states? indianapolis stamps? ahhhh, it was from my friend FRED who did a business trip to RW minnesota, chicago, boston … it’s so nice getting “real” handwritten post. i must always emphasize again and again – nowadays uncommon, nearly old school. he sent me greetings from TRURO, CAPE COD where great american artist EDWARD HOPPER has had his summer studio house on STEVENS WAY – beautiful location. FRED wrote me that he will bring a souvenir for me to germany. yesterday KLAUS from volls.de brought me a wonderful CHICAGO COFFEE CUP from INTELLIGENTSIA “fresh roasted coffee” which FRED gave him last week when he visited volls.de. i got the cup because of the STARS on it. i love stars! look at the LIFE TIME GEAR sign above. thank you so much FRED. the cup is in use! pics | LTG

YUKETEN & ALDEN | @ VOLLS.DE

last friday between OLLI THE BARBER and another photo shooting i went to KLAUS to pick up a rain jacket that works from ARC’TERYX VEILANCE. so i just could take some impressions of the new ALDEN & YUKETEN stuff KLAUS got a day before. the complete stuff is really awesome from the mocs over the main guide boots, the blucher and indie styles over to the leather bags. it will took some time to bring the stuff to the online shop, KLAUS said because today the order marathon starts for him with the PITTI UOMO at FIRENCE, italy. if you can’t wait for the stuff to order online, contact him and his staff at volls.de. bad pics | LTG
