Home office and business with one get-up.

I've spent the morning in my home office taking care of my daughter.

Now I'm back at my desk. Still wearing my comfy get-up.

But I don't care.

Fuzzy pea coat by some Navy shop 
Fuzzy wool Aran sweater by H&M
Flannel shirt by L.L.Bean
Levi's 501
Caterpillar boots
Wool socks by Falke
Underwear by GANT

I'm blue. Wearing denim in the office.

Today, I'm taking my get-up a bit easy:

Navy shawl-collar cotton sweater by L.L.Bean
Some checked shirt
Levi's 501
Clarks Brogue Boots

Bean Boots: Eyelet quality issue?

Today we had our first St. Martin's Parade with my wife and our two kids. Their selfmade lanterns were so very nice!

When I got dressed against the cold, I noticed, that there's a difference concerning the eyelets of my 2 pairs of Bean Boots.

The eyelets of the first pair I bought in 2012 are 2 piece solids. The kind of those you press together with a special plier.

But the eyelets of my seconds pair (Thinsulated), ordered this year, seem to be a one piece with folded down edges.

I am not sure if this is a quality issue, but I don't like the look.

Barbour Beaufort, a cotton turtleneck sweater over a OCBD, 501's and Thinsulated Bean Boots.

Solid 2 piece eyelets of my first Bean Boots from 2012.

New one piece eyelets with folded down back (I don't even know the German name for that...) on my Thinsulated boots from this year.

What do you think?

Day at home today.

Rain in May? Wear Barbour and L.L.Bean!

Heavy rain this morning with much more rain today.

But this is not an issue if you can rely on two trusted friends:

My Barbour Beaufort and my L.L.Bean Rubber Mocs.

Should I consider a Double L Jeans instead of this 501?

L.L.Bean Rubber Mocs.

Hood attached.

Rain, rain, rain. And the right get-up.

Loads of rain this morning.

So here's how I fight it:

My re-waxed Barbour Beaufort. I have to take it off when I get in the car as it still bleeds wax.

Some shirt and sweater...

Non-Preppy Levi's 501. Authentic but from the West-Coast...

L.L.Bean Rubber Mocs. I treated them with L.L.Bean Boot care and Armor-All. Look at that finish!

How I spent my Saturday.

L.L.Bean Scotch Flannel shirt.

Levi's 501.

L.L.Bean Rubber Mocs.

Fremont. Well well!

Getting ready.

Take me to your leader!

Chipmunks took the eggs and dumped this nest.

Almost ready.

I've deleted the rest of the pictures by accident.

Imagine the built up grill, chicken on the grill, pictures of beer and loads of fun!

An American get-up?

Today's get-up is pretty rugged: 501's, OCBD, a Lauren Jeans Company sweater by Ralph Lauren and Caterpillar boots.

Getting ready for the weekend sporting my new denim.

Wannabe Instagram :-)
