Railroad Cap.







Just like its name "Railroad Cap", It had manufactured for railroad workers in the past in 1920s to 1960s.







"Headlight" was name of brand which produced not only cap also every garments and gears for workers in Cincinnati, Ohio. (Images from google)





This one was re-maked by Toyo Enterprise in Japan which is same company has "Sugar Cane", "Sun Surf" and etc.





This is vintage Lee railroad cap that I bought it from Ebay. The seller says it was made in 1930s, or 1940s, but I do believe this one was made in more recently like 60s or 70s.

















Vintage Lee one's "Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America" label.  





I don't understand why Toyo one has chain stitches on this side. (even it has sewn in strange direction) 


No matter what both of them are well-made hickory denim cap with reminiscence of the past.

Keko Cafe, NYC.







I only like what I like. This might one of my weak part of me instead of adventuring or trying something new. (Well, even adventure stuffs are also do when I want, and what I want.) In same reason, especially for eating and drinking, I prefer to spend my money with something I like or something I already know so usually I do search some places whenever I go to new place. Then after pick up the best one, I straightly give all my royalty to that place until I leave.

Keko cafe is one of my "best" one after trying and researching the good place for breakfast in NY. 






I didn't tried whole kinds of coffees in here 
but I am pretty sure most of them are way better than any other cafes in NY.




You can also visit there and just have a nice cup of coffee with some cookies in day time. 





Keko cafe is not big, actually it is small but cozy.





Love those old travel cases.

Vintage Red Wing Pecos Boots.







  Needless to say, Pecos boots are one of legendary boots in Red Wing's over 100 years history. It was made perfect for horse riding, farming and working but also lifestyle up today. I bought this vintage one in RRL store in Bleeker St. in this May.(I went to Brooklyn flea in another day but couldn't find better one than this) 






It must be came out with oil tanned leather but you can see the color difference because of sun and life time use.






Since the original Pecos boots were made in western style, it doesn't have crepe wedge like newer models. I am not sure which era made this boots but the the owner told me that it was made in 1950's. 










Front steel toe looks a bit sharper than newer Pecos boots in nowadays.






This nitrile cork sole should be replaced in several times. 
Looks new but heel was already used.

Jardin Botanico Nacional.







Me and my wife went to the national park called "Jardin Botanico" in Santo Domingo. 
It is not a 'huge' park but pretty well made in good maintenance.



































When you buy the entrance ticket, they also give you a ticket for this train too.




















This tree looks totally somebody's face or witch.
