Sweet...I'm about a month into mine. What accelerates the process...sweat? sun?

That evo pic almost makes me regret going with the black. I knew the black variation wouldn't show the aging process as well, but wow. I've been wearing mine for a month and there's only slight signs of wear, even though I'm trying not to baby it. I think I've even developed a bit of OCD since I often find myself bending the bracelet with the other hand as I wear it.

Leaving the bracelet out in the sun will definitely darken the leather, as will the natural oils from your hands. If you want to accelerate the process (while protecting the leather) you can buy some mink oil or Obenauf's LP and just follow the labeled instructions. No matter what, the leather will darken with age and wear, but different treatments will tint the leather's color slightly.

So I'm definitely considering picking up a pair of SL-200X and I was wondering if anybody has experience with the stretching factor? Should I buy true-to-size or maybe one down? Really not sure on this brand, love what I see though.

I will also soon be selling a MIJ KMW Rocker in 32 x 32 that has not panned out for me (leg too tapered for my huge calves/thighs). Pics and thread to come. Any preliminary interest please PM me!

Also curious about what size to get the 210s in, for a similar fit to 28 APC NS or 28 Nudie AJDH. Thanks

garmis - the SL-200x will yield up to an inch of stretch in the waist, so it's best to buy the jeans tight in the waist initially so that they'll stretch out comfortably. They are slightly vanity sized so make sure you size down a size from your true waist measurement.

big punisher - the leg on the ST-210 is a lot slimmer than what you'd be used to on a APC NS; if you're looking for something more like that fit, you should look at the SL series. If you're a 28 in APC's I would suggest going with a size 29 or 30 in our jeans depending on how slim you'd like the fit to be. http://www.selfedge.com has very detailed measurements on both our SL and ST series.

Where should we be looking to cop FW09 pieces? I keep checking the webstore but I see nothing. The Myspace says the shipments have been sent...

I asked kiya last week, he'll be carrying the entire 3sixteen FW line. I think he said the "next few weeks."

i would also like to post a quick endorsement on the double-wrap bracelet. i got it from SE, and out of the bag it was a little tight but after a couple days it loosened out to the perfect length. the patina is developing slowly and naturally. i really enjoy having it because everyday it looks a little different.

52 bucks is a lot for a piece of leather. but a simple, untanned leather bracelet like this was difficult to find.
