Today we were fortunate enough to be invited to Stockholm for the official launch of the Gant Rugger collection for winter 2011. After a very early flight we wandered around the snowy city during the morning and visited some of our favorite shops in… [ Continue reading ]

Last week, after our trip to Nigel Cabourn, we visited this little shop in the center of Newcastle. With a define collection of brands End Hunting Co. stocks the premium menswear brands like Barbour, SNS Herning and RRL, some great footwear like Yuketen, Grenson and Fracap Scarponcini Boots and all the needed accessories like Saint James hats, Mismo bags and Comme Des Garçon wallets. The shop is packed with lovely details, ready for some treasure hunting and definitely worth a visit when around… Enjoy some more pictures after the jump. [ Continue reading ]

Two days with Nigel Cabourn gave us enough inspiration for the coming years, and it definitely made us enthusiastic enough to help Nigel tell his story for the next decades…

We will do a long article on Nigel in our upcoming Journal de Nîmes, make a new video report on his new collection and we'll try to put together a documentation on his inspiration and his archive of vintage clothing.
Together with our former intern Timo Demollin we shot a huge amount of footage for all these items but I just can't wait for the release of Journal de Nîmes to share a first glimpse of the studio.
Thank you so much Nigel and Drew for the warm welcome and all the things you both shared with us - and thank you Tenue de Nîmes for the chance to meet this genius! [ Continue reading ]

Just a very small update since I’m a bit too busy to do more than this at the moment. We are enjoying a fantastic stay at Nigel Cabourn in Newcastle to document his lovely brand for the upcoming Journal de Nîmes. Hearing all the stories behind every single… [ Continue reading ]

S.B. Foot Tannery is a magical place for producing leather. Big thanks to Daryl Mark – with more than 30 years of experience – for investing the time to learn us everything about the tanning process. After filling fifteen notebook pages and taking at least six hundred pictures, we… [ Continue reading ]

We had a busy schedule to look forward to so we got up early. No rise and shine but after another American breakfast we were ready for action. We visited “Plant 2” which is the current Red Wing Shoes factory where we were guided through all the different… [ Continue reading ]

The weather was much better today… We drove out of Siren where we stayed for the night and headed further south. Sun is shining, some good country is coming out of the speakers and the wilderness (We even spotted a black bear!) is making place for farms and cows. [ Continue reading ]

It was a busy day in Minnesota. Yesterday we arrived Minnesota-St.Paul where we rented a ridiculous GMC truck for a reasonable price. Being a bit jetlagged, we instantly decided to drive 200 miles to Duluth trying to keep our eyes open. It seemed only a short… [ Continue reading ]

Mon ami Luis Mendo became a returning contributor to Journal de Nîmes with his beautiful hand crafted City Reports.

While still in Morocco, still offline, still traveling around with my lovely girl and my little boy and celebrating my birthday today, I just found one tiny hotspot to do one Anothersomething post to give you a glimpse of this wonderful trip. Traveling around between cities, mountains and… [ Continue reading ]

After setting a world record (visiting stores in one day) on Thursday we went to three fairs yesterday to get more Winter 2010 inspiration. The day started at the Capsule fair where Rene did not get the chance to recover from his hangover caused by to many Grey Goose at Le Baron with Acne's Charlie Hedin and Kanye West. The reason for that were the brothers from Naked and Famous denim, or actually Brandon the older of the two, that started shooting words and sentences at us about his great new products with 500 miles an hour before we had the chance to look at a single one of them. After asking him politely to slow down just a little bit we fell in love with their unusual interpretation of Japanese denim. And to give you a little preview on what will arrive soon, we hereby announce that Tenue de Nimes will soon carry the heaviest denim ever made in the world. [ Continue reading ]

We arrived in Paris very early in the morning. Today was all about sourcing inspiration and shopping. Tomorrow will be visiting fairs and shows the entire day. We managed to stuff all the must-sees in ten (short) hours and we will share the favorites of the… [ Continue reading ]

I bought some of them the past months and I liked the content, but found it not worth a printed publication since the content needs to be updated quite often. But now the Wallpaper City Guides became available on your iPhone. The ‘tightly edited,… [ Continue reading ]

We met with the Grenson crew the first time last year because Jason Denham arranged a meeting in our store. We really enjoyed the meeting with the two outstanding representatives that were completely crazy about the 140 years old brand. We got caught by their enthusiasm and of course by the impressive history of this legendary English Grenson shoe company. [ Continue reading ]

For the next two weeks I’ll be offline, enjoying a nice stay in the south of France, traveling to Nîmes to get inspired for the next collection and to get my well deserved rest. To keep you updated Bas & Menno… [ Continue reading ]

Last week Menno and I went to Berlin, to the Bread & Butter and Premium. After one day BB we can say it is all quite the same. Sure, every brand got its own details, but 95% of the show is about the great… [ Continue reading ]
