BOOT OF THE DAY | #182 | RED WING HERITAGE – NEW IRON RANGER STYLE “CHOCOLATE MULESKINNER” #4590

just some minutes ago these news reached me from RED WING HERITAGE europe. i must confess that i am not the greatest fan of the IRON RANGER. i like the look, but from the first time on i saw this boot i knew it will be something for the masses. i owned one that i sold after a short time to a good friend, seeing this boot too often. but i although must confess that this CHOCOLATE MULESKINNER is really mega nice. this is what RW HERITAGE says about the boot: “Red Wing Shoes’ popular Iron Ranger boots are inspired by the style Red Wing Shoes built in the early 20th century for miners working in the northern Minnesota Iron Range. Mining on the Iron Range was a dangerous job full of hazards and the brave workers who took these jobs required extra protection on their feet. To meet the demands of this type of work Red Wing Shoes designed a boot with a capped toe that was double layered with leather. The heel pocket an extra strip of leather that supports the heel inside the boot  was moved to the outside of the boot for added stability. These design changes provided a seamless boot interior and added durability to the exterior of the boot; necessities for workers on their feet all day in the harsh conditions of the mines. Five years ago this work-inspired design was successfully re-introduced as the Iron Ranger and quickly became a popular style for everyday dress. Now,  Red Wing Heritage is introducing a new version of the Iron Ranger built with rugged Chocolate Muleskinner leather. Named the 4590 this style’s unique roughout leather and classic design makes it a handsome addition to any outfit.” the boot will be available at european stores mid-september. pics | Red Wing Heritage Europe

saw this cap and i knew i must have it, because i like HARRIS TWEED stuff so much. this began with my first NIGEL CABOURN TENZING JACKET in 2008. i like the grip and the function of this great fabric from scotland. damn, this cap was online @ CALIROOTS on monday. on tuesday all items were sold. no wonder ... the cap is MADE IN USA, has an absolute classic look, you can wear it with a rounded visor (as i do) or contemporary flat, inside there is a leather stripe, so the fit is perfect even if you sweat. the color is a dark woolen blue – perfect. and the best, no McNARY logo outside - just the nice usual HARRIS TWEED label in fornt of the cap. one of my absolute favorites and sorry, couldn't find it anymore, anywhere in the www. pics | LTG

yesterday evening i went to PASSION FRANCE with OLLI THE BARBER, KLAUS, c/o VOLLS and UWE E. MAIER c/o AMTRAQ. we went there because UWE got a gift coupon from us when he celebrated his 50 birthday this year to choose a knife @ PASSION FRANCE. WOLFGANG & SABINE received us in their showroom and it was so amazing. damn: so many knives, one nicer than the other. WOLFGANG & SABINE told us all the details and stories about the different types of french knives. it was so exciting and it was really difficult for UWE to decide which knife he should take. at least it was a classical LAGUIOLE – a pretty one. good choice UWE, have fun with your knife! pics | LTG

i am really happy to get one of 60 pairs that came strictly limited to europe, because this boot is an absolut must-have-collector-item. the boot is only available @ RED WING STORES. thx KAY from RW STORE BERLING & HAMBURG for reserving the boot. the 9877 was previously sold in JAPAN beside some other styles in that beautiful color: SEQUOIA GOLD. i did a post in october 2011: BOOT OF THE DAY | #91 | LIMITED RED WING BOOT 9871. the 9877 features some details of the first IRISH SETTER production in 1952. so the SEQUOIA colored leather is the original one followed by the famous oro-iginal. only at the top of right boot there are stamped RED WING letters: no corporate wing logo on the boot except the sole which is exactly the same on both boots. inside the 9877 there is the old version of the IRISH SETTER tag - beautiful! boot and RED WING SHOE experts sure will notice the square stitched corners where the leather is fixed to the tongue - an outstanding detail. the boot comes with heavy leather laces and in a wonderful IRISH SETTER labeled box. by the way, the 877 has on another very nice detail: on every eyelet the letters RED WING are engraved. the 877 will leave my collection. my friend PZ will adopt this really nice walked in boot. so i know these boots will be in good hands ... pics | LTG

since the first time i saw the work of NY based JON CONTINO i am a fan of his graphics and designs. this happened, i don't know exactly, about 3 years ago, when i discovered the CXXVI Clothing site. it was amazing for me because i never saw such really nice and individual hand drawn types and graphic works before. so i was really happy to find these iphone cases with the classic CONTINO motives WHISKEY & CAPE HORN 2 weeks ago. the whale was on my first shirt  i ordered at CXXVI. it got a really rugged vintage look over the years and i still love it from the day on when i took it out of the parcel. the cases look better than they fit. it is hard to get the phone in and out of the case - whatever, they look great and the touch is okay too. and the price is okay! you can order these cases or with other motives and more CONTINO stuff at SOCIETY 6 . shipping to europe is 10 US$. pics | LTG

so, definitely: this is the nicest, coolest and at the same time smartest saddle shoe i ever saw. respect to FRANS BOONE who did this awesome piece together with ALDEN. i think this style, this combination in design and leathers must be really exclusive – at least i never saw before. this ALDEN shoe features the following characteristics: snuff suede saddle and heel part, vamp and quarters in reversed tobacco chamois, brass eyelets, cordo hyde flat laces, plantation crepe outsole, barrie last D width. it would be an amazing, awesome part of my boot & shoe collection, but the price is the price an ALDEN costs. so my rationality is fighting against the passion. it's an exciting match! wonderful pics | © FRANS BOONE

bought this years ago @ volls.de when ATLIER LA DURANCE was a really brand new label producing some small charges of denim - the quality and the making of the jeans was great. i think it was about 2005 or 2006. this haversack is a very nice piece but it was absolutely senseless for me. i preferred bags when going on travel, to get the things best handled. so it is like new, made of 14OZ weight japanese denim and saddle leather with a lot of nice details and heavy brass hard wear. it's on ebay now. no life time gear for me ... pics | LTG

PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE by NICK OFFERMAN | ONE MAN'S FUNDAMENTALS FOR DELICIOUS LIVING

it was pure luck finding this really funny and exciting book written by, for me unknown, “PARKS & RECREATION” actor NICK OFFERMAN. in his first book he shares his “humorous fulminations of life, manliness, meat, and much more”. i just had the time to read over the first pages and it is great! here a short description by the editor: “Growing a perfect moustache, grilling red meat, wooing a woman, who better to deliver this tutelage than the always charming, always manly Nick Offerman, best known as Parks and Recreation’s Ron Swanson? Combining his trademark comic voice and very real expertise in woodworking, he runs his own woodshop. Paddle Your Own Canoe features tales from Offerman’s childhood in small-town Minooka, Illinois, “I grew up literally in the middle of a cornfield”, to his theater days in Chicago, beginnings as a carpenter/actor and the hilarious and magnificent seduction of his now-wife Megan Mullally. It also offers hard-bitten battle strategies in the arenas of manliness, love,  style,  religion, woodworking, and outdoor recreation, among many other savory entrees., A mix of amusing anecdotes,  opinionated lessons and rants,  sprinkled with offbeat gaiety, Paddle Your Own Canoe will not only tickle readers pink but may also rouse them to put down their smart phones, study a few sycamore leaves,  and maybe even hand craft (and paddle) their own canoes.” pics & video | Nick Offerman, LTG

these are from the days when i was smoking frequently my beloved GITANES. found the lighters when cleaning up my office last weekend. nowadays i smoke just at special occasions, f.ex. when sitting together with good friends, drinking some beer or good wine – and this happens sadly really rare. but the ZIPPO lighters i won't give away, because they accompanied me such a long time, everyday over too much years. very special is the RED WING SHOES zippo. this one gave me GABOR MAGYAR from RWS HERITAGE EUROPE offhanded as a present, when we were smoking a cigaret and i told him how nice his zippo was ... and the BETTIE PAGE ZIPPO is although really great as an collectors item. i remember me, that it isn't available anymore, anywhere. it's from the year 2000 > BETTIE PAGE ZIPPO® LIGHTER SERIES II #1: BLACK BETTIE. pics | LTG
