FILSON @ BREAD & BUTTER, BERLIN

I think you all know by now, that I'm a sucker for Filson. I really get a smile on my face when I see

a Filson bag! On the booth in Berlin they didn't just showed the Spring/Summer 2014 collection but also a wall filled with vintage bags. These vintage bags are send back by customers for repair or even as a complaint. The company sent those customers free of charge a new bag, repair the old ones and sell these to guys who can't wait to break down there own bag. Filson bags are like a great denim

you have to break it down yourself. I do like the wool baseball cap with the "F" made in the USA that's for sure.

SANBORN CANOE CO., WINONA MINNISOTA

 

 

 

 

Sanborn Canoe Company started as a summer hobby by a few friends from Winona, Minnesota, a small cozy town near lake Onalaska. They started making paddles from a how-to book and soon the garage was packed with paddles. People noticed. The hobby became a business. Sanborn paddles are crafted from ash, cherry and western red and white cedar, finished for durability; available in sizes, weight, and shaft styles for every manner of canoe-er, and custom painted for those who want to stand out. Use them on the water, or mount them on the wall.

RALPH LAUREN - RIVER WILD

As you start gearing up for the season’s outdoor activities, consider this: The weather this time of year is fickle, so if you’re planning on spending time in the elements, layering is key. Make it easy by combining technical pieces with rugged weekendwear to create looks that work just as well at home as they do on the mountain. You’ll achieve cool, functional style while increasing the versatility of your wardrobe. A climbing pant or cargo short pairs seamlessly with a heritage-pattern sweater or shirt and provides comfort during sporting activities. Technical jackets have moisture-wicking properties and are also streamlined enough to add a sleek look to your outdoorsy style. Nylon accessories will add a rugged accent and withstand the wear and tear of your adventures. (text via www.ralphlauren.com)

OUTDOOR LIFE MAGAZINE - COVER ART

Outdoor Life is an outdoors magazine about hunting, fishing, survival and camping. Outdoor Life was launched in Denver, Colorado in January 1898. Founder and Editor-in-Chief (1898-1929), J.A. McGuire, intended Outdoor Life to be a magazine for sportsmen, written by sportsmen, covering all aspects of the outdoor arena. The first issue covered topics including a moose hunt in Alaska and advice about Native Americans. Some of the original sections were titled, "Photography", "Trap and Target" and "In the Game and Field".

I think those beautiful covers of the magazine from the 30s, 40s and 50s are worth to frame and hung on the wall as "menswear art". You can find them on Ebay where they change from owner from 10 till  more then 50 bucks.
