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!
Manufactum Spring/Summer Highlights 2013:
Here my personal highlights selection of the brand new Manufactum Spring/Summer catalogue for 2013. The Red Wing 8052 is quite high ranked on my shopping list!
Pinguin Books luminous billboard:
Yesterday night I found this great billboard in front of a bookshop. It closed down and they gave it away for free. Since we were on the way to a concert, I could not take this 80 cm x 80 cm piece with me, so I hide it. I was quite happy to find it still there when we came back and the best the lights inside still work.
Ed-Meier store Munich:
When Uwe from Amtraq told me the Topo Design stuff arrived at the Ed-Meier store and fits just perfectly in the tasteful shop, I had to have a look. Ed-Meier is know for their handmade goodyear welt shoes since 1596 but you will find more than that in the flagship store. A great mix of traditional products and accessoires in classic colors and patterns but enriched by lively and newer ones as well.
Particularly the fine selection of pocket knifes I did not expect or the skull & bones suspenders. They have their “Gamsbar” close by which I somehow missed to see. But for sure this shop will be on the agenda for future visits in Munich.
100 beards 100 days book by Jonathan Daniel Pryce:
Sweetheart & Sister Gloria made me this present recently. She not only got one of the limited prints of this book, no she even got it with some personal notes and signatures by Jonathan Daniel Price. A remarkable project/book by Jonathan, which is a joy to just scroll through. Check also his lifestyle blog for more of his work!
Kaweco Sport fountain pen:
Thanks to Thomas Dirk from Merz b. Schwanen who brought my attention to this great pen, while having lunch together at the Frontküche. Later that day, I found the Kaweco Sport fountain pen @ Manufactum in Munich. Kaweco produces these pens for Manufactum based on the design from 1935. With only 10,5 cm long, a good addition to your EDC. For a very detailed review for this pen check this site.
Popeye Zippo by Feinschmuck:
One of the latest creations of Feinschmuck. A Popeye Zippo in solid brass, one shiny one aged. Available via Amtraq distibuted shops.
Red Wing leather work gloves:
I´ve been yesterday for a quick visit to Munich and as most of the time visited Burghard Pflug´s Gasoline Alley. Hard to leave his shop without finding something. This time I got a pair of Red Wing leather work gloves. With the right jacket or trousers a man hardly needs gloves but sometimes I wished I had one. So they had to be constructed well and this pair fitted my requirements as I can say now.
– Thick cowhide leather
– Reinforced patch on palm and thumb
– A leather which will develop nicely by it´s use in time
