Ceccarelli waxed cotton and down coat style 7005

One of my favorite highlights 2014 and I finally closed one gap in my wardrobe. The Ceccarelli waxed cotton and down coat with a hood called Style 7005.  My pea coat by Armor Lux was never warm enough when it´s really cold. A Barbor Jacket can be worn with a thick woolen Pullover but I rarely do this. Most down jackets are made from some kind of Nylon, close to a fire or a cigarette and you got a hole in it – nevertheless you look like a Micheline figure.

So when I saw this Jacket at the Amtraq Distribution PortfolioI knew I have to have it. It is made of high class thick waxed cotton, goose down (90/10) YKK heavy duty brass zippers and superb constructed and crafted and with well thought of details. See the leather reenforced buttons or the pull cord with the leather stopper and particularly the “cosy” lined pockets and cuffs.

It´s not a jacket its a coat about 3/4 so its even good to wear when cycling. No kidneys or back is exposed and gets cold. So from my side a great brand which definitely should get your attention  and Amtraq Distributed Stockists are already being delivered with Manifattura Ceccarelli goods.

A last comment to this jackets and goods produced by M.C.
They might look familiar to you be-cause M.C, designed and produced for Filson Europe for more than 10 years and is also producing for Pendelton.

Pino Silvestre – Italian After Shave Classic

The Süddeutsche Magazin writer Paul-Philipp Hanske made a comment on the end of his story “I used to sprinkle my cheeks as a youngster with the aftershave of my dad. Until his cousin explained to me that “Pino Silvestre” which is smelling like fir resin does not “score with the woman”.

Thats the smell I connect with my father and since years I use it to finish / round up the task of a straight razor shave. If the quote is right, I do not want to know how many sisters and brothers I might have got if he never used Pino Silvestre.
