POMADE

Pomade is the quintessential men's hair styling product. Made typically from a type of wax or combinations of different waxes along with petrolatum, essential oils, coloring, fragrance and many other oils like castor, coconut, jojoba, argon and almond or avocado oil. Pomade is extremely versatile, there is a different kind of pomade for every hair type, style and preference. It provides hold, control, shine, texture, scent, and health for your hair; yet all of these traits are optional.

Types of Pomades:
Water Based: Main ingredient or base is water, this kind washes out and resembles a gel.
Oil/Wax based: Main ingredient or base is wax and is made with oils, does not wash out like a water based
Matte: has very little to no shine
Light Hold: light in consistency, weaker hold, easy to apply, usually higher shine
Medium Hold: average pomade, the middle ground for hold. consistency varies, but usually nice and smooth, medium shine
Heavy Hold: thick consistency, high hold, can be difficult to apply although this is not always the case, typically less shine.
Hair Dressing/Top Coat: little to no hold, very high shine
Fiber: water based, infused with fibers for a more flexible hold, usually also infused with shine crystals to reduce the matte effect

SELVEDGE DENIM

Selvedge denim is the original denim and the highest quality of denim. It is what jeans where originally made of before manufacturers developed new, cheaper methods of producing denim. These new methods, however, drastically reduced the quality and longevity of the denim and the products they produced with that denim.

What makes Selvedge Denim so special?

Selvedge Denim is denim that is made on old fashioned shuttle looms only in old mills in Japan and old cone mills in the U.S. unlike today's basic denim. The process of being made on a shuttle loom creates a self sealed edge on the denim hence the term "Selvedge" (self-edge). As opposed to just being cut to size and leaving the denim frays open and then having to embroider the edge to prevent the denim from falling apart, the selvedge prevents the denim from fraying and eliminating the embroidery process. Thus creating a stronger, longer lasting denim.
