Built To Outlast You

Cool Hunting visits San Francisco’s Self Edge denim shop where owner Kiya Babzani talks about denim for life, the devil in the details, and collaborations for the fall.
The Beggar wholeheartedly advocates investing in durable, long-lasting gear that only improves with time and wear. It’s, by far, the best way to reduce the time, money, and energy required to maintain a suitable wardrobe.

Returning to the Tourneau sale on Monday, we were pleasantly surprised to find no lines or crowds, and a nice selection of watches remaining. People actually waited four hours to get into this event on Saturday.
Through Thursday, you can just stroll in and find a broad selection of top brands at 50% off, and Tourneau brand watches at 70% off. Re-sale watches are 20% off — which comes out to about 70% off their original retail prices. Still, if you go expecting to find a particular make & model, you’re bound to leave disappointed.
For a mere $12 K, you can save $12 K (!) and go home with this solid gold Cartier –
Tourneau Sale – 317 W 33rd St between 8th & 9th – 9am-6:30pm – ***CREDIT CARDS ONLY – NO CASH*** – 718-747-1656 – Map
Don’t Look Like A Lady

This weekend’s Page Six Magazine features a dead-on-arrival debate between Simon Doonan, creative director at Barneys, and Details editor-in-chief Dan Peres over whether men should embrace the feminization of menswear. [Page Six Mag]
Even Peres, a self-described proponent of the feminization of the American male, pleads with guys not to let that broader movement seep into their wardrobes. “Isn’t Clay Aiken’s flat-ironed hair and smoky eyes enough of a warning?” Peres asks.
Not that you can’t add a lighter touch to your style: “From silk pocket squares to pastel polos, a man can add a feminine touch to an outfit without looking like Liberace.”
So, unless you’re an aspiring David Bowie or Jimi Hendrix, be prepared to walk a very fine line between your outer dandy and your inner Marv Albert.
Free & Easy

In this latest installment of the regrettably-named ‘In The Closet,’ Tyler and Josh are all over place, talking NFL fashion, wingtips, hunting catalogues, and the best of things. (If case you were unaware, a German Shepard is the best of dog.)
What we love is how these two completely disregard any mention of the activities surrounding New York Fashion Week, which their fairer colleagues are presently falling all over each other to soak up.
Leave it to The Sartorialist to prove us wrong, but we’d venture to say that ‘fashion weeks’ have about as much to do with men’s clothes as manure does with the wine it helps create. Nothing … and everything, now that we think of it.
