Get ’em Quick! Simon Miller at Bergdorf’s

By Cator Sparks October 4, 2013

Ok we are going to drop the bomb upfront, these Simon Miller jeans retail for around $500.

Now we will tell you why. First off they are a limited edition sold exclusively at the uber swanky Bergdorf Goodman up there in New Yawk City (we happen to be huge fans of Goodman, their men’s store). Also, only 10 pairs per style were produced.

Replica is a series of vintage inspired jeans, individually hand distressed and produced in limited quantities. The collection utilizes a custom persimmon-treated 13.5 oz Japanese selvedge denim from Nihon Menpu mills (this is theeee place to get denim, people) and is constructed in Los Angeles with authentic sewing details including a deconstructed patch and advanced wash techniques. Lastly, each piece is finished with a waxed canvas label hand indigo dyed by Noon Design Studio in Los Angeles. Noon Design uses only natural dyes made from roots, bark, flowers, wood, biowaste (oh!) and insects (ooooh!).

As you can see from the images above, these jeans have had some serious work done to them. It was all inspired by the owners travels. Jake and Daniel discovered a vintage pair of Lee jeans in a flea market out West and were determined to replicate the jean for the modern dude. The more old vintage pairs they found, the bigger the dream became. Other replicas will be available down the line so if you miss the boat on this run, stay tuned for the next wave of awesomeness.

The Simon Miller Replica jeans are only available in store. Please ring 212-339-3339.

Rolex’s latest white gold cosmograph Daytonas feature mother-of-pearl dials

Rolex adds new Cosmograph Daytona watches

Rolex Cosmograph Daytona

Rolex has introduced a new, super-expensive watch covered in diamonds. What's new? Well, while we're used to this, and it doesn't exactly warrant front-page news, this introduction actually does. This new chapter for the brand unveils two new additions to the Rolex Daytona collection, and they're certainly more opulent in a subtle way compared to previous designs.
Rolex Daytona: Two new Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watches added to the collection

These new Rolex watches, which are part of the Cosmograph Daytona collection, are diamond-set models adorned with mother-of-pearl dials. Hearing about any Rolex watch covered in diamonds automatically evokes fantasies of extravagance and wealth, at least it does for us, but these new timepieces are remarkably restrained when it comes to a balance between bling and subtlety.

What exactly are limited edition watches?

Know the buzz word before you buy

Citizen watch in ground beans

Have you ever watched a movie and wondered why the rare piece of art could ever be worth the obscene amount of money the debonair art thief claims it's worth? It is simple, really. It comes down to the fact that it is rare. A truly original piece of art masterfully created by the very hand who conjured it up in their mind is something that cannot be recreated. The same kind of rare value exists in the watch world, too. There is an entire industry of limited edition watches that claim rarity rivaled only by the masterful artwork of Renaissance artists who can no longer create original pieces.

But what does it really mean to say that a watch is a limited edition? Does it truly mean that there is little chance of you walking into a party or a bar and running into the ever-embarrassing moment when your "rare" watch sits on the wrist of another...in the same room? Or does it mean they just want you to buy it quickly because they have numbers to make before the shareholders' meeting? Both are possible. As usual here at The Manual, we did the legwork to make sure are armed with the information you need before you click the BUY button and invest in a limited edition watch.
