Two weeks ago we had little event, a night with personal, unique stories behind fifteen pairs of Red Wing boots, as told by the owners themselves, at the Red Wing Shoes Store in Amsterdam. It was a  to remember! Enjoy this little movie by Benjamin & Daan.

Just found out about this amazing documentary film illustrating  the life, skills & character of the turn-of-the-century Maine lumbermen & river drivers. Using oral histories, rare films & photography 'In The Blood' presents an accurate and vivid portrait of the men who pioneered their way through the 19th century Maine woods. The documentary was made by Sumner McKane, a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and filmmaker based in mid-coast Maine and is a truly amazing source of inspiration.

Tenue de Nîmes teamed up with British denim professor William Krol at Tender Co with whom they created 12 hand-numbered jeans. Rather than using a standard yarn-dyed fabric these jeans were cut from piece-dyed cloth. Piece-dyeing heavy canvas like this  is usually done over rollers in a large vat, using a carefully controlled automated process, but the canvas for these Tender x Tenue de Nimes jeans has been scrunched into a small vat, causing it to crease up in the dye which leaves marks and streaks on the cloth.  It means that each pair of jeans is subtly unique. The  final color of these jeans is reminiscent of a standard beige duck fabric, but the shade is warmer and richer- in fact its  color is similar to that of a flowerpot.
