Get ’em Quick! Simon Miller at Bergdorf’s

By Cator Sparks Dec 21, 2019 2:12 PM

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.

The best casual watches for men (to upgrade your everyday style)

Work wear blues watch close up

Watches are more than a tool. They are more than an accessory. They are the kind of tool and accessory that make a statement. They are an expression. They are a statement. A man can look incredible: the right top, the right bottom, great shoes, great hat. The wrong watch can ruin a look, or even the whole essence. Here is the rub: the wrong watch can be subjective. For instance, most people will tell you that a Timex broken watch isn’t the right watch for a pinstripe power suit. However, it was my grandfather’s watch, and I wear it anytime I need him and his guidance. The point? That is never the wrong watch. Once you find a casual watch that works for you, it will be your everyday wear and will never be the wrong watch.

That is what I collected here: The best of the casual watches you can pick up today that will become your everyday wear.

Audemars Piguet launches pre-owned program to rival the titan of the second-hand watch market

Audemars Piguet

Rolex has dominated the watch world for nearly a century. The industry is a deep and complicated web of luxury houses and independent hopefuls. While brands like Patek Phillipe and Cartier vie for their place on the podium, Rolex holds a death grip on the chronophile’s aspirational collection checklist. But Audemars Piguet has decided to challenge them somewhere most other brands are deciding to ignore: the pre-owned market. Now, while something like the Royal Oak is an icon among enthusiasts, AP launching their own certified pre-owned marketplace to chase the reported $1 billion Rolex pie will certainly upset the market.

Like I said, it is a deep and complicated web, so I sat down with a horological expert and founder of WatchGuys, (317K on Instagram), Robertino Altieri, to have him walk me through what this means for watches and their passionate collectors.

Capsule No. 2 dropped Saturday, Oct. 24, and features Wrangler’s signature broken twill in jeans, jackets, and shirts. The fabric was developed with Mount Vernon Mills in Trion, Georgia, the last mill of its size still making denim in the US.
