The Vest of William Rutland Leffler, Ben Davis 10oz twill hand sewn.

Exemplified by the burning patrol car, disdain for law enforcement is a common sentiment amongst most all modern day hobos. This type of satirical imagery is regularly incorporated into punk and hobo fashions. While not all police are actually “bad” this type of imagery and dialogue creates solidarity within the traveling community. Especially for those who recognize and want to fight their systematically racist and oppressive history, which is still prevalent today.

“Candlemass” is a popular band from Sweden, and the patch was hand sewn-on with floss. Classified as doom metal, this is one of many bands popularized in the late 80’s-present within the freight train riding and crust-punk sub cultures. Hardcore, crust, thrash, grind, doom, are just few of the extremely aggressive music genres which are heavy laden with misanthropic and anti-capitalist ideals. These ideals, along with ones desire to live in a world which values life experience over material possession, push some folks further and further into the fringes of our society. And while on the road, they naturally build community through genuine kinships, rich with culture and meaning.

That dude had quite a life. The pictures posted here tell an interesting story all on their own. It sucks that he's gone. The world needs more weirdos. It sucks I never met the guy because I could have learned a lot from him.

Damn this dude was one my favorite. A fellow bike punk trainhopper. only got to share a few bike rides, beers, and moshpits with him during one of his visits to Jax florida. Definitely legit. Think about him all the time and now I randomly read this post. Surely will be missed.

Found out an old friend was found dead in Arcata around New Years. Hadn’t seen him moreover than a couple time since probably 2003 but that’s because he was a hardcore fucking traveler. When he came home he was always in high spirits and one of my favorite people to randomly run across when he was in town. Dude travelled more than anybody I’ve ever met. The stories I’ve heard about him from those that knew him better are endless and incredible...his name was Will Loeffler. RIP

Sorry for your loss, saw this on Saturday 2/8/2025.
