Timberland Earthkeepers

Bought in the sales for £80. After treating them with some mink oil (see earlier post) I took them on a 12 mile hike without any problems.

Affordable Raw Denim

While I usually tend to veer more towards heritage denim such as Lee or Levis, there are other less premium brands that I'm really impressed with.

I bought these Uniqlo raw denim jeans for £35 nearly 2 years ago. Washed about 12 times I'm really pleased with their fading.



Brogue Boots

Brogue boots by Sole. Bought in the sales for £40

Raw Denim, 2 years, 8 Washes

Cheap pair of raw denim that I lived in for a year. Nearly 2 years old and roughly 8 washes.





Oil the Joints

Bought this knife from a car boot sale, not bad for £1. Stainless steel made in Sheffield England.

Vintage Rolex

I picked up a vintage Rolex Datejust at an auction a few months ago. Damage to the glass but otherwise in perfect working condition.
