Vintage Berghaus Snow Cap





Bring on the 80s... It`s getting freezing cold on the terraces these days, so make sure that your wardrobe has a toasty winter jacket included. If you want to get sure that you won`t freeze your bollocks of, go for a Berghaus jacket! This is a well known british outdoorbrand, wich has a lot of nice jackets to offer for every weather situation.

I went for a vintage Snow Cap from the 80s, very similar to the well know Ice Cap. A good choice if you want to be different to all that Jack Wolfskin and Fjall Raven customers. Berghaus has always been an 80s casual classic. Simple and functional design, some poppy colours and to cut a long story short.. just cool as fuck. They have some more classic designs i will go for in the future, for sure!

Klaxons - Surfing The Void


Klaxons released their second album, Surfing The Void. As always the big question is: Will it be good as the first album? Well, i am not a music critc, i can`t go into detail when it comes to differences regarding to the style or something else. I`m just a fan of their music since they released their first album, wich really surprised me and i thought to myself: This will be a future classic! They have got the potential to become a band who will represent brtish music of this generation in the future. Like the Stone Roses or Joy Division do. This is very hard in my opinion, due to the fact we are living in a fast world of internet and YouTube, where bands come and go and new trends come faster than your postie. 

Never the less, they made a very good second album with some crackin` songs like "The Same Space", "Twin Flames", "Flashover" (very powerful!) and my absolute favorite "Future Memories" (wich is featured below). I`am not sure if i can compare it with their first album. In the moment i like their first album more, i think it was more experimental, but maybe it`s just the fact it was their first release and something completeley new and different to the common british alternative and indie rock releases. It`s definitively worth a listening and especially the songs i mentioned above! Just a "Heads up" for my loyal band of followers, who might enjoy something different like i do.

Here i`ve got a live recording of the song "Future Memories" from the Pohoda Festival 2010 in Slovakia.

C.P. Company Spring/Summer 2009 - Canapa Italiana





This jacket, also known as the "hemp mille", is made out of 100% hemp. One of the best summer mille miglia jackets made so far. The whole design reminds me of the vintage mille miglia jackets made in the 90s. It is a lightweight summer jacket and together with the teflon jackets of the same season, my favorite mille miglia jackets so far. Maybe because the fitting of the jackets is excellent in this season. I got the chance to get my hands on a red and a beige one, they also came in navy and black. The beige one would be the perfect object for a dye job, but i don`t know if i really could do this...
