Recent finds, continued...
Nothing available at the moment.
Thought this was cool:
Oakley Minute, Inmate, Fives 1.0. The prices on the Inmate are insane.
These are still sold for €40-45, this one is NOS:
I've got a few sweaters from Bernhard Altmann. The company has an interesting history, though it's not around any longer. I don't remember all of the details, but it was an older company that ramped up production and facilities throughout Austria. After the Anschluss, Bernhard Altmann fled and the company was taken by the Nazis. After the war, it was returned to Altmann, but production equipment and raw materials were gone. He had either family or connections in the US and got things up and running quickly with imported materials and equipment. I feel like he eventually opened some production in the US, but I can't remember. Anyway, it became successful before major declines and insolvency in the '80s or '90s.
The knitwear I see is always very nice and these socks are no exception.
