Restoring 6 rusty old straight razor blades:
Visiting the flea market on the Main in Frankfurt I bought this nice leather roll bag filled with 6 old rusty straight razors. The price was so low that even just for the leather bag it would be a find. Coming home I first cleaned and oiled the bag and after that I cleaned and removed the rust of the razors. Two of them have no hallmarks and are also quite small like a 2/8 but the others (Bockla, two Peaso, Kobar) I will resharpen and use over the time. A bit of a progress is viewable right now of the images above more will show up soon.

RLX5513 handmade in Germany bags:
Having had a great weekend in Frankfurt, I was really happy to finally meet Peter Gernsberger from RLX5513 and have a look at the handbags he makes. Out of deadstock swiss army canvas and natural tanned leather he has designed and crafted a unique and wide range of bags. Made with a lot of skill and the style to be your next lifetimegear. Photos were taken inside and outside of the Lola Vingage box in Neu Isenburg. Check Peters Facebook site for more images of his bags.

Roger Dörig Sennsattler – Appenzeller Gürtel – Belt:
If you ever cross the border from Germany to Austria and over to Switzerland, called the Dreiländereck, you have to see the workshop of Roger Dörig a Sennsattler. His workshop is over 125 years old which he runs now in the 4th generation. A Sennsattler is a mix of a saddler and a goldsmith. Most famous for the special Appenzeller Gürtel / Appenzeller belts. Every item on the belts are sawed out from a piece of metal and later on engraved by hand and carefully attached with small rivets to the belt.

I´ve been in his workshop about 3 years ago and promised to come back to get a customized belt done by Roger Dörig. A great surprise to see one of his belts in the legacy of my father. Which he wore fore at least a decade and guess what, i will hopefully do this as well for some more.

Have a look at Roger Dörig´s workshop and a video of him showing his profession and passion.  (in swiss german – hard to understand if you are not swiss or from the border area to switzerland).

Dehen 1920 Signature Varsity Jacket:

What a nice collaboration between my family and one of my friends Uwe from Amtraq. For my anniversary I had the joy to unwrap this great jacket which was on my wishlist since seing the first time.

What a bomb proof construction with some of the best materials around. My favorite is the structure/surface of the american bison leather. Its like a bigger scotch grain but not as much as ostrich leather. Best of all, it looks great from the beginning, no big break in time.

Here are the facts:

  • Pendleton 24 ounce melton wool body
  • American Bison leather sleeves and pocket welts
  • Chenille and embroidered decoration
  • 100% worsted wool trim
  • Quilted lining
  • Snap front closure

For orders check the Amtraq distributed stockists.

Fritz Elvis von Bronewski Boy Scout Knife:
Last weekend I actually “ran” into this nice knife and I knew I had to buy it for my first (un) born son. A not too well kept secret that his name is going to be “Fritz Elvis” and until know, non of my girlfriends disagreed when asking the question right from the beginning of the relationship if that is – ok. Im not too sure if I should sharpen it already be-cause it is blunt as a knife can be. Probably there is some time left to finish this task, best to do this together and teach him how to do it right when he is about – let´s say around 6 years old.

Deus Ex Machina Hawaiian Shirt “Belbin” from Peter Fields Berlin:
A glimpse at this nice Hawaiian Shirt from Deus Ex Machina shown to me by Anie Fields and I knew I had to have it. It has got a nice pre washed like finish and is slim cut. So with 1.87 m I went for a medium sized and it fits perfect but large wouldn´t be too wrong as well. Thanks for the quick shipping super quick service – summer hurry up!

Rowenta art deco chrome toaster E 5214:
A trust worthfull breakfast friend, works always.  Sometimes to well if you get distracted and forget to turn the slices. An all time classic in use for decades and a fine example of engineering and design ment to last. Rare to find but possible, check Ebay for Rowenta E 5214. If the slices are not too light or sticky they will turn by itself by 180 degree when you open a door, which is a nice stunt. Check a video here made by HausfrauJournal.
