The Heritage Post No.5 April 2013:
Came in yesterday by post. Nice if you have an annual subscription – highly recommended. The foreword is even worth to buy this magazine, 100% agreement from my side. Lots of interesting stuff inside, I will not spoil too much of the content here – enjoy.
Raw vintage western buckles from Feinschmuck:
These raw bronze belt buckles will soon be fitted with some of the finest bridle leather from Tanner Goods. But before there is a lot of work to be done. Check the images of the final product from the Distributor Amtraq.
Personal Highlights – Manufactum Summer 2013 catalogue:
Here my favorite items from the Summer 2013 Manufactum catalogue.
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:
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.
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.
Buick Riviera Boattail 1973:
Jan from Alltagsklassiker restocked his portfolio with exceptional cars. One of them a brown Buick Riviera Boattail from 1973, 7,5 litre engine, 250 hp and with 16.500 Euro affordable.
Personalized iPod shuffle:
I have to think twice before I borrow it to someone! Probably not another like this one on this planet. The engraving was for free and nothing better came into my mind to make it really personal and a bit I tried to figure out if they would censor it.
Pike Brothers 1937 Roamer pant:
A fine piece of my wardrobe, worn for about 3 years now, still no remarkable traces of destruction – worth every cent!
