RE: Watches - another OCD problem
The last time I posted in this thread was 2009, better late than never I guess.... saw some Grand Seiko talk and had to come drop some photos in of a few models I own!

The Self Edge Bender's Lookbook
The calm solace one finds in a dimly lit dive bar is a feeling known well to many San Franciscans. The deep history of hiding out in a bar goes back over a century in San Francisco. Starting with the Gold Rush days as the capital of California’s lawless “Barbary Coast” to the Kerouac and Ginsberg hang-outs in North Beach in the 1950’s to the Tavern Guild organization of gay bar owners of the 1960’s; San Francisco has seen its fare share of social groups using bars as their home base.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With this lookbook we’ve put the spotlight on Benders Bar and the people who own and work there. Benders is where we’ve called our home base in San Francisco for two decades and which also happens to be around the corner from the first Self Edge on Valencia Street which we opened in 2006. Just a couple of businesses with distinct visions, aging somewhat gracefully.

Introducing Eskhaton - Truly Hand Made Jewelry
We are launching a new genderless jewelry line this week named Eskhaton, meaning the period of time immediately before the world ends. The word is derived from “ἔσχατος”, meaning “last” in Ancient Greek. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This collection is designed, hand-made, and finished by a single person named Tristan Reynolds. Reynolds is a self-taught jewelry maker based in Melbourne, Australia. He normally does not sell to retailers as his work is generally by commission only so we’re quite appreciative of him working with us on this collection of pieces. Over the past couple of years he’s made some signature pieces which have been worn on runways, record covers, and in the press by Rick Owens, Arca, Jhene Aiko, FKA Twigs, Tyrone Dylan, and Michele Lamy. These were not stylist purchases, but personal purchases by these people who appreciate his work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything Reynolds produces is literally hand-made, as in there are no molds, casts, or computer drawings used. All stones are ethically sourced, and if he cannot source a certain gem ethically he has it lab grown for the piece. Much of his inspiration stems from his fascination with the human form and the natural way we age (or as he puts he, decay) over time. You can find a limited selection of Eskhaton pieces now at all stores and online.

Welcome to At The Edge.
Self Edge is now 17 years old. We’re not yet old enough to vote, but we’re old enough to know better. Since we first opened up shop on Valencia St. in San Francisco in 2006, we’ve learned so much and met so many wonderful people. Now that we’re growing up—a little bit, at least—we think it’s time to tell some stories, share some knowledge, and introduce you to some of the remarkable personalities we’ve met along the way.
LEARN ABOUT IT: LOOPWHEELED FABRICS: First up with we have a little write-up with accompanying photographs about loopwheeled fabrics, click the link in our bio to check it out or go to our Editorials page on our new site. We’ll be updating our editorials section of our (new) site every 2 to 3 weeks with new LEARN ABOUT IT posts, interviews, Self Edge Records playlists, and much more.

Hell yeah! Congrats on the ATX store Kiya!
Quick additional question for you: how do you recommend cleaning the Ebbet’s Field cap? Having owned my SESF one for several years now, I’m fairly certain it’s due for a scrub.
My love to you and D!
Thank you! Wish you could make it to the opening!
Those caps are made of wool, so they're dry clean only. I suggest taking it to a dry cleaner and they'll be able to clean it. -

SAMURAI ZERO FABRIC ECRU JEANS & T-SHIRTS
Samurai’s ZERO FABRIC is now available as an 18oz natural undyed slub denim with a "dirt" selvedge ID.
Samurai has done a crazy but beautiful thing.. In 2010 they bought a small farm outside Osaka, Japan, with the hopes they would be able to grow their own cotton with the intention of one day being able to make garments made of their own cotton, as in a truly vertically made garment. After fourteen years they've been able to grow enough cotton to make jeans and of course they're as beautiful as the story behind them. The cotton is minimally processed in very small batches without the use of any harsh cleaning or whitening agents, also all fractured cotton seeds and all staple lengths are left in the cotton during the carding and spinning process for a truly unique fabric. We can really say we’ve never felt or seen denim like this from any company. These jeans are now available in very small numbers at our stores.
We've also received ZERO FABRIC t-shirts in three colors, all available with and without pockets.

FINE CREEK VIRGINIA BEACH HORSEHIDE TYPE II JACKET
Fine Creek Leather’s Virginia Beach Type II jacket is finally back in stock after being unavailable for over three years. This is our number one most client requested horsehide jacket from any brand we carry, and we’re excited to see that it’s available again. The way the front chest pleats pull and pucker with wear is truly a sight to behold. This comes in as a classic fit with just a hair of length added to the body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fine Creek makes some of the most beautiful horsehide jackets we've seen. Using a vegetable tanned Japanese Shinki horsehide, which ages in a fairly fast manner, they cut and sew these jackets in their own studio in Tokyo. The quality of stitching is as good as it gets for a leather jacket, and we've not seen many jackets age as well as these do. Depending on the panel they'll use a different type of stitch thread and thread count to achieve puckering in certain areas for added character.
