10 MUST-HAVE-X-MAS-PRESENTS | #04 | HANDMADE CROCHETED BOW TIES BY MONSIEUR BOJANGLES

that's what social media is good for: i met ROY VAN CREIJ at facebook. and some day i saw these handmade crocheted bow ties that he posted. for me as a bow tie lover an absolute must-have. yesterday i got a letter from the netherlands with these two really nice looking and well done pieces for a nice price. it is easy to fit the ties with the two buttons in the back. i think the orange one has to be ordered too! isn't that a wonderful gift for christmas? beside the bow ties ROY offers different sorts of bracelets at the MONSIEUR BOJANGLES etsy store. pics | LTG

LTG CAP & HAT COLLECTION | 06 | THE MARK McNARY HARRIS TWEED BASEBALL CAP

saw this cap and i knew i must have it, because i like HARRIS TWEED stuff so much. this began with my first NIGEL CABOURN TENZING JACKET in 2008. i like the grip and the function of this great fabric from scotland. damn, this cap was online @ CALIROOTS on monday. on tuesday all items were sold. no wonder ... the cap is MADE IN USA, has an absolute classic look, you can wear it with a rounded visor (as i do) or contemporary flat, inside there is a leather stripe, so the fit is perfect even if you sweat. the color is a dark woolen blue – perfect. and the best, no McNARY logo outside - just the nice usual HARRIS TWEED label in fornt of the cap. one of my absolute favorites and sorry, couldn't find it anymore, anywhere in the www. pics | LTG

BOOT OF THE DAY | #173 | NIGEL CABOURN X CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR ALL STAR

when i found this boot some minutes ago i was really surprised because of never heard about it before. dutch great TENUE DE NIMES got this nice collaboration CHUCK in stock today. you can get it in 2 colors: olive and black while the olive one is my favorite. this is what RENÉ from L'EQUIPE DE NIMES tells about it: “a wonderful collaboration between good friends of us at two labels we value really high. CABOURN re-designed the classic CHUCK in a way it turned into the perfect basic boot. made from superfine british VENTILE cloth it's both wind and waterproof. with its thick and ribbed rubber outsole it makes for a solid appearance and reveals the inspiration from the british military.” some facts: ALL STAR high style | upper made from L28 VENTILE fabric | wind and waterproof | ribbed toe bumper and sole-edge | brass eyelets | vintage style heel tab | tonal olive CHUCK TAYLOR logo | “GENUINE VENTILE” cloth label woven inside | CONVERSE and NIGEL CABOURN logo's imprinted on insole | limited edition. a must have? i think so ... pics | Tenue de Nimes
