A glimpse into the vintage crypt of Red Wing Frankfurt

Yesterday I had the chance to get a glimpse into the vintage crypt of the oldest Red Wing store in Europe. Kami Hashemi the owner took the time at the Munson Ranger 8012 release party to guide me trough his personal Red Wing Collection. Some of the oldest Charles Beckmans, Pecos, Moc-Toes and Frankfurter are lined up there. Another personal highlight was to have a look of a Red Wing Catalogue dated back to 1949. The new Munson Ranger is amazing I can tell, but for more on that head over to Life Time Gear he will post soon.

We are happy to hear that Otter Wax Products will soon be available via Europe. Kami Hashemi takes care of the Distribution of their products now. We have companies like Barbour and Fjällräven who offer waterproofing products for your canvas stuff but Otter Wax fills the gap – why?

– First of all, its 100% natural, no silicone, no petroleum, non toxic. e.g. Barbour makes no reference about the contents of their Wax Thornproof Dressing.
The Otter Wax bar is usable on the fly just apply as much wax on the areas you wish to make waterproof. No preheating of a tin, and no mess around with the oily fluid.

As you can see below, Otter Wax enhanced their portfolio a lot recently by some leather care and personal care products:

Heat-Activated Fabric Dressing
Castile Soap Canvas Cleaner
Saddle Soap (Reg. Tin)
Leather Salve (Reg. Tin)
Leather Oil (Reg. Bottle)
SPRUCE Eau de Cologne
All-Natural Beard Oil
SPRUCE Cologne Solid
Ginger + Lime Lip Balm
All-Natural Mosquito Repellent 

Hmm some Otter Wax products had a nice pine tree smell but I do not clearly remember if the Otter wax bar was that as well. I´ll let you know when I´ve made my test on the recently acquired Barbour Jackets or my old Carhartt jacket. TIP! – get yourself a vintage Barbour Bedale, Beaufort or Border now, not when it turns colder, the prices are low right now. Who thinks about bad weather protection right now? I Just got a used Barbour Beaufort for 3,50 Euro excl. shipping.

With Uwe and Eric we went to the short fashion show at the B-74. It was helt for the int. press, which was guided trough the city of Frankfurt to selected locations before the MTV Awards the following day. The B-74 by Kami Hashemi is a bit hidden in a backyard. But a shop connected with the Red Wing Store Frankfurt which Kami runs since 1998 gets attention. Once you entered, you will see why customers are doing the pilgrimage to this shop. Top brands with history and quality are presented in a unique way. Just have a look at the cabriolet inside the shop, the counter, the flipper or the antique Hamburger Schapp filled with Filson bags.

Here an overview of the brands: Aero Leather, Atelier LaDurance, Converse, Dockers K1, Dehen, Dukes, Edwin, Filson, Johnson Motors Inc., Knowledge Cotton, G.R.P Firenze, Levi´s Vintage Cloth., Merz b. Schwanen, Nigel Cabourn, Red Wing Shoes, Rin Tanaka, Schiesser Revival, Stetson
