Amazing what Brands our friends from Amtraq Distribution pesented at the Bread and Butter. Knowing some brands they distribute already, I was overwhelmed to see a lot of new companies there like: Golden Bear, Fidelity, Reds, Rancourt, Croots and not to forget Feinschmuck.

Thanks a lot Uwe for sending me this great pullover. I saw it this summer when Amtraq was here on the lake and I knew I have to have it. Old school cut, 100% wool and made to last. A perfect product from the USA  available in Amtraq distributed shops.

Last saturday was a very eventful day. When ushered by Uwe in his showroom in Frankfurt – Sachsenhausen it felt like being a character of “Needfull things” by Stephen King.  Only difference, much more than one item you wish to have – now. Products he distributes are tasteful accompanied by black and white photographs, collectibles, design classics, a glass of Äpplewoi and great sound from vinyl. Thanks a lot Uwe!

Made in San Francisco from White Oak Cone denim and leather label from Tanner Goods. Huge pockets, even I can get my mobile, wallet and my hands together in one front pocket (and my hands are big!).  I really like the hand printed instructions on the pockets and the straight leg cut. I need the feeling to wear trousers – no leggins. Tellason is widely available in the States, in Europe check Amtraq distributed shops.

Vintage belt buckle from Amtraq being feinschmucked:
When we visited Uwe from Amtraq at his showroom in Munich he gave me a vintage belt buckle from his personal collection. Feinschmuck did 3 reproductions in bronze. One was just polished, one was darkened (angeranzt) and one is being coated with silver (still in electrolytic bath, images will be available soon). Which one you like the most?

Yesterday we visited Uwe and Alex from Amtraq, and Dirk from Merz b. Schwanen in their temporarily Showroom in Munich. What a great combination, just a bit hard to handle all that great stuff in one place, too much to see. The Dehen jackets, the indigo dyed Merz b. Schwanen shirts, the Rising sun stuff … Thanks for the great time!
