RT N’ 44s + Rising Sun Jeans

 RT N' THE 44s Rising Sun Jeans Workshop

RT N’ 44s + Rising Sun Jeans:
What a great band, as a music rookie my first thought was they got something from Johnny Cash, then came in the washboard and the banjo.

RT has stated that RT N’ THE 44s was born out of “an attempt to make listenable music from junk”. They have been described as a “vintage country band with dark obsessions”. Later by searching for more tracks I found this video above where they are dressed by Rising Sun Jeans. What a perfect they team they form. Rising Sun & Co. slogan is:

Tailor made indigo goods, & workwear capturing the optimistic spirit of America´s golden age of craftsmanship.

I saw the Rising Sun Straight Razor collection last year in Munich and I´m happy to see them in Berlin this week. Thanks Frederik for sharing this band with us.

 

Otter Wax, waterproof your fabrics

Otter Wax, waterproof your fabric

Otter Wax, waterproof your fabric:
Thanks to Frederic for bringing my attention to Otter Wax. Waxing natural fibres to make them waterproof is not a total new invention, more a forgotten practise. Probably the only company who still does it until now on a large scale is Barbour. But actually you can waterproof your shoes, backpack, jeans or jacket with a bar of Otter Wax quite easily.

Available is Otter Wax via their webshop in the US and in Europe via Warenmagazijn.

Harris Tweed – a romantic history

Harris Tweed – a romantic history:
I thought I understood the rules for a Harris Tweed, but I missed the fact that the Tweed has also to be handwoven. Or as seen on this video “footwoven” by cycling the loom.

“Handwoven by the islanders at their homes in the Outer Hebrides, finished in the Outer Hebrides, and made from pure virgin wool dyed and spun in the Outer Hebrides.”

Thanks to Klaus for pointing me to this great guy and video. I had a great time this morning watching the full 30 minutes Movie about Magnus Walker´s Porsche 911 Passion. What a freak!                                                                             (c) by Magnus Walker

The Smokehouse – Rohan Anderson aka wholelarderlove:
Another great video about Rohan Anderson known for his website
wholelarderlove.

Smith joined forces with Victorian grower, gatherer, hunter and cook Rohan Anderson to build a pioneer-style cold smokehouse on his property just outside Ballarat.
