I don’t know many dudes who rock rain boots! And since I’m a “cool guy” (as per Harry) I can pretty much “stand there in speedo and get looked at like a f+king hero” -kanye. Moving on my brother got me these rain boots last week and they are so dope ( they really are) It’s a brand called Le Chameau, from France and if you dont know about them get involved. They are mad comfortable and I’ve been wearing them a lot the past couple of days. A great alterntive to kicks (just playing) but there amazing when it rains.

If your a person like myself and Oliver from Ransom you can appreciate brands with Heritage.

Quality and Knowledge since 1927

About: 1927 : a norman shoemaker had the idea to make boots in natural crepe, as these were appreciated for their comfort, waterproof qualities and flexibility

  • 1939 : creation of a plant in Pont d’Ouilly, in the centre of Normandy
  • 1950 : birth of the St Hubert boot in natural crepe with leather lining
  • 1959 : creation of a plant in Chateauvillain, France
  • 1995 : purchase by Lafuma Group
  • 1998 : Buy out Charles Dubourg a French hunting textile brand
  • 1999 : Creation of a shoes range
  • 2007 : 80 years of craft

Nowdays, LE CHAMEAU has products in several markets, such as hunting, fishing, agriculture, horse-riding and safety through a complete range of textile, boots and shoes.

Got home to a box of love today! The Air Force 1 Safari pack and some Nike Sb apparel. The jacket is crazy, I have a thing for jackets and especially since spring is here I need to break out the arsenal. It’s a nylon m65 sb jacket, the pattern is the classic wood print you find on the inside of the sb box.

About:
Dr Romanelli’s most recent line deals with the inherent tradition and passion within the military uniform. Named Surgical Strike, the mission here was to add unyielding form to the evident function of military fatigues from an assortment of cultures and eras.
Romanelli was able to inherit the vibrant voice of these military garments and make them his own. In typical DRx style, he combined the finest leather, buttons, zippers, and other accoutrements to blend with the raw fatigues. This dichotomy served to make a stunning garment that displays postmodernism at its finest; a perfect mix of high and low culture.
