Summertime

And the living is easy. No more school and work for a couple of weeks. This picture shows how I'll be spending my afternoons: relaxing with my friends in Sonsbeek park, the best park in Holland. Reading a book, drinking some beer. Looking trough my dirty sunglasses.



Off to the south of France on the 4th of July. Gonna do a little surfing and of course soaking my PBJ's the the Atlantic Ocean. Pics will follow!

Skull Jeans - 5 Months

It's been 2,5 years since I got these Skull Jeans (by an Alchemist) at their Harajuku store which, unfortunately, no longer exists. You probably expect this to be the slim 5010xx model, but it's not: it's the 5109xx, which is based on a mid-sixties 501. It's made of the same, 6x6 14,5oz denim though and features hidden rivets. The jeans didn't get enough love yet, but as it's a true vintage cut, and I can't get myself to wear them every day.

Winter Shoes - Red Wing

Here's my pair of Red Wings, model number 8131. I bought these in 2,5 years ago, and they have served me well. Actually, a resole would be nice by now... I just need to find a place that's able to do this here in Holland. I won't be wearing my boots for a while though, September is probably a good time to break these out again. A proper polish to breath some life in the leather and they won't come out of my closet for a while.

Summer Shoes - Elia Maurizi

Got me some new shoes for this years spring and summer. Wanted to get some desert boots for a while now, but finally found a pair that matches my needs. They are made by Elia Maurizi, a small young label from Italy. Already love these to death.
