When we set out to create the Nitty Gritty 20 YRS anniversary collection we really wanted to present a look that felt up to date yet kept some of the more important style references that has been a part of our stores history during these past 20 years. So when the time has come for the release of piece number three and four out of six we believe that our intentions of what we’ve had in mind right from the beginning is becoming more and more obvious.
The White Levis 505 is the ultimate and true to origin mod jean, but also the style worn by skinheads throughout the years. We asked our friends over at Levis Vintage if they could re-produce the white 505 for our special anniversary celebration. They accepted our request and liked the idea so much that they decided to include it in the LVC collection for Spring/Summer 2012. But they also created 20 pairs just for us so we could add them exclusively into our 20 YRS celebration collection. What they did was actually to over dye the regular raw 505’s so they became softer in hand and got a touch of a very light bluish tone. Similarly to if you added a little bit of chlorine to them, just like the skins used to do!




The City Trek boots by Lundhags have been designed by the Nitty Gritty team in order to get a comfy and slightly slicker version of the classic Lundhags cell rubber boot. By adding a dark brown premium leather, golden eyelets, and a low Vibram commando sole we ended up with a kind of punkish or skinheadish look or interpretation of the classic hiker style that throughout the years has built the worldwide reputation of Lundhags as being one of the best boot makers in the world. Our limited pairs of 20 have been made by hand by Mats-Håkan Lundhag himself, great grandson of the founder Jonas Lundhag, at HQ still situated in the small factory kept up in the North of Sweden, Järpen.

The photographer and his subject.
In this weeks Nitty News I've written about the magnificent, French candle brand Cire Trudon. In their collection of fragranced candles one of the best sellers is “Ernesto”.
Thinking of Ernesto “Che” Guevara I'm pretty sure that there is one particular picture that pops up in your head, Che, with focused gaze, unshaved, wearing his characteristic beret. The photograph 'Guerrillero Heroico', was taken on March 4th in 1960 with a Leica camera by the Cuban born photographer Alberto Korda and has become one of the most spread pictures in modern time.
Korda and Guevara where both born in 1928 and they both had a very significant way of dressing. Che in his army rags and heavy boots, Korda in his more intellectual, yet adventurous army inspired linen shirts, vests and scarves.
Something like this:

Molami headphones continue with their launch crusade around the world. They´ve now been in both New York and Paris, and it was again quite the turnout and a nice crowd. At Fivestory´s pop-up shop in New York for example, Giovanna Battaglia of Vogue was there to see and hear the magic up close, and Molami is now also available at Colette in Paris.
Here are some photos from the New York event, feat. Maria von Euler herself (the Brand Manager and Designer of Molami) showing how it´s done. Wish I could have been there too, having the great Sweden launch event right here at Nitty Gritty in fresh memory... It was so much fun and the headphones are beyond cool!
