TGIF Shopping: Mott & Bow Release New Four-Way Stretch Denim

Mott & Bow, the meticulously handcrafted denim designers, have just introduced their new 4-way stretch fabric jean, “The Hester.”

Unlike typical stretch fabrics which only provide a horizontal stretch, this brand new high-performance denim stretches both ways, enhancing not only the comfort of the fit, but the functionality of the denim.

“We’re always looking to push the boundaries of innovation when it comes to what we call ‘denim science,’” says Mott & Bow founder Alejandro Chahin. “Customers can’t tell us enough positive things about the comfort and feel of our jeans, especially the denim that has had horizontal stretch. Creating a 4-way stretch jean that adds in the vertical component was the natural evolution/progression of our brand. We created these to stay ahead of the curve and give our customers something truly unique that they’ll love wearing no matter what they’re doing.”


MS_hester_4wayChahin says the most difficult part of the creation process was perfecting the amount of stretch and not sacrificing the premium quality of the jeans. To do this, the Hester was put through a plethora of physical and athletic tests before they opened up production including running, squatting, biking, snowboarding, skiing, etc.

The jeans themselves are available in three fits – skinny, slim and straight. Mott & Bow offers free returns on all orders and free shipping on 2+ pairs.

They also offer a badass referral program that gets you a $30 credit for each friend you get to purchase a pair of jeans. So phone dad and tell him to get a pair.

The Hester can be purchased here for $108 a pair.

The Piaget Polo Date 150th Anniversary Edition revamps a classic watch
See what 150 years of craftmanship look like with the Piaget Polo Date limited watches
The Piaget Polo Date duo.

What does a luxury watch company do for its 150th anniversary? The only answer is to release a limited line of watches. And Swiss company Piaget did just that. The Piaget Polo Date collection comes with one for the fellas and one for the ladies, but both pieces exude a quiet luxury on their own. Playing up the nostalgia note but giving collectors a fresh take, Piaget took their 1979 hit the Piaget Polo, gave it a shine, and made it the star for the company's 150th anniversary, debuting the Piaget Polo Date. 
His and hers, Piaget edition

The 150th-anniversary release consists of two watches — one for him and one for her. The Piaget Polo Date watches don't reinvent the vintage version from the 1970s, but the new ones bring a level of sophistication to the model.
The one for him
The updated version for him is 42 mm in size, has a round face, and has a brown rubber strap. The details on the face and the hands are rose gold. There are not many changes from the original, but sometimes, little tweaks go a long way.
The one for her
The watch for her is a bit more detailed. For this one, Piaget took the 36 mm option and gave it a beige rubber strap, allowing it to match the brown watch. But this move with the strap was huge, as it replaced the old metal bracelet and leather strap previously offered. This made it the first time the 36 mm came with a rubber strap and the first time the two watches had the same strap style.
