HOWLIN BY MORRISON | @ volls.de

it’s always nice to discover new labels in blogs or online shops. but it is pretty nicer if you have the chance to see and feel the stuff live. so it happens with HOWLIN BY MORRISON. KLAUS from volls.de got a great delivery of their new collection and i love it. he says: “Founded 1981 as a family driven company,  the sons Jan and Patrick Olyslager decided to inject a new impulse into the label and created Howlin by as a playful and more progressive counterpart of the classic touched Morrison. Full of colour and somehow ironic the way of manufacturing remains traditional, the collection offers more inspiration by fantasy, fitting and pattern. ” all pieces are quit nice and you’ll find much more at volls.de. below there is an informative article about KLAUS and volls.de from german TEXTILWIRTSCHAFT. hit the link below the pic and you will get a readable bigger size of it.

i just have 3 belts i wear every day. all are from DUKES, all are vintage d’artisan military belts which are

EL COMMANDANTE my third DUKES, about 1/2 a year old, KLAUS from volls.de call it “the mother of all belts“ – indeed!

LIFE TIME GEAR | PRIVATE FAVORITES IX “WINTERWEAR #2“

it is still snowing and very cold in middle germany near frankfurt/main. my favorite parka
is still in revision but my buddy KAMI from B74 gave me another LIFE TIME GEAR piece:
a SPIEWAK N3A PARKA from the golden fleece series. great stuff: lightweight and comfortable
but very warm. it works great with the quilted POST OVERALLs vest. VOLLS got a lot of
POST O’ stuff two weeks ago. is there another shop in germany who sells this great stuff
from NYC? i don’t think so. but the best for deep snow walking are my WHITE’S HATHORN
SMOKEJUMPER with their heavy vibram trekking sole – these boots are what i call
LIFE TIME GEAR!

LEVI’S 501 | COMMERCIALS

found on FARINELLIS. nice video collection: from 1985 “LAUNDRETTE“, 1988 “REFRIGERATOR“, 1989 “PICK UP“ over 1990 “CAMERA“ (with BRAD PITT – you remember? ) to 1994 “CREEK“. it is pretty amazing. wearing the 501 in the eighties,  in the nineties and i am still carrying on and on. when i saw the spots i thought it was yesterday. ok the hairstyles are somtimes creepy, but the 501 was never out of style and won’t be. i most love the LEVI’S VINTAGE collection, the historical styles of the 501 through the years and decades. for german readers: the best collection you might get at VOLLS.DE.    ej
