THE GLOBE ARNHEM A PICKERS HEAVEN

Last week I paid a visit to The Globe, Arnhem one of my favorite stores in the eastern part of The Netherlands. The Globe started as a vintage store in 1969. After that it became a outdoor store and today it is rocking with the best curated collection of RRL, Red Wing, Grenson, Stone Island, Gloverall. Nike and and and....do I have to say more?

This time I concentrated myself on the props they use in the store. You can find a nice

collection of scissors hanging on a door, a wall filled with skulls in the fitting room and what about the wall outside with typical Dutch "mattekloppers" (carpet-beaters). There are stacks of Lp's laying on the floor and if you're lucky the guys will put your favorite song on the turntable.

Ps. I want to thank you for the Xmas boxershort and if it will happen, when wear it on Xmas day we will call him or her "little miracle" 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM CHAD

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Enjoy these days with you're friends and family and let's hope Santa brings you some gifts.

DEHEN PORTLAND ON THE FIELD SINCE 1920

Special Edition for The Globe, Arnhem

William Dehen formed Dehen Knitting Company in 1920 and built his business by knitting unique heavyweight wool sweaters that withstood the test of time. Dehen now continues to provide crafted products, still made in Portland, Oregon, often on machines that are older than the people that operate them. Seen on sidelines through the 50’s and 60’s, Dehen’s V-Neck pullover was a staple for yell leaders, coaches and student athletes.

Re-launched for Autumn 2011, the Dehen line showcases their latest collection of well built jackets and sweaters – all featuring the same details and stitch work found on their vintage garments. The Japanese, of course, helped bring the Dehen name back onto the playing field. The Globe, Arnhem has their own special heavyweight wool V-neck sweater in Burgundy & Black. This sweater has "1969" instead of the brands "1920" on the chest.
