VATER & SOHN - A DREAM COMES TRUE

Last week I spent some great days in Hamburg, Germany and I had the chance to

visit a store called Vater & Sohn. I talked with Tobias Pflug. Together with Sascha and Stefan he made his dream come true.

It all started some 20 years ago when Tobias started to wear Red Wings, he was so fond of the brand that he started to work for the Red Wing store in Hamburg. The next step was to open a store where guys would like to go to have a coffee and find their needs. From the perfect shoe up to a nice Stetson hat. They found a great spot in a part of the city called Eppendorf, with brick walls ornamented ceiling and a great tile floor. The perfect place to start their dream. And a dream it is to work with brands like Red Wing, Tricker's, Wolverine, Rising Sun, Filson, Iron Heart and Gitman Vintage. Whenever you visit Hamburg go to the Eppendorferweg 54 to see it yourself.

RED WING @ AMSTERDAM

 

Amsterdam has it, his own Red Wing Store in the shopping area the "negen straatjes"  In the Reestraat you can not only find you're favourite Red Wing shoes, but also products from the Hill-Side, Duluth Pack and many many more. If you want to find out more about Red Wing check their blog.

A SURF SHOP IN SOHO?

SATURDAYS SURF NYC: JOSH ROSEN from KarmaloopTV on Vimeo.

Josh Rosen opened his Surf/Coffee Shop called Saturday's Surf in August 2009 in Soho. His shop is stocked with boards, wetsuits and some great T-shirts, as from Fall 2010 these T-shirts are also available at J.Crew. Check the full story about Josh Rosen in Guest of a Guest how and why he started a surf shack in New York City. This will be a stop for me the next time I will visit New York, for a coffee and a Tee.

GANT Rugger

Yesterday, I went to Herr Judit, I didn't know what to suspect, but this shop is a cool mix of second hand clothes and some hand picked new stuff. They just started with a Gant Rugger corner aswell. The store looks great with the nice antique cabinets, the stairs used by painters covered with paint and the vintage signing of Levi's. Whenever you are in Stockholm visit them on Hornsgatan 65.
