Self Edge SF, NY, LA, PDX, MX, & ATX
-
So, I just realized that the incredible Florian Bertmer is a member here? Took me just 3 years to realize…I'm a huge fan of his artwork and if I would have been quicker I'd have the Howlin Wolf print in my room now. But I got the Converge tour posters and some shirts from shirtsanddestroy, but these aren't as awesome as the FH (fabricwise). Just needed to write this...
-
Same experience as with Nate / riffblaster. (I just learnt that he pointed Florian in the IH direction). You "know" the guys or their work for so long and then realize they're among the addicts here. I like that.
-
Thanks guys - glad you dig my work
And yes, Nate pointed me in Self Edge's direction 3 years ago where I started my IH collection;)
The quality of TFH shirts is truly insane!Good to meet you on my recent trip and love the hemming monster T shirt I picked up at SESF. It's our new uniform for hemming IH heavy denim.

New Flat Head Shirts, Tees, and Jean & Accessory Restocks
From our favorite Japanese rockabilly rousers we've got a fresh delivery of shirts, tees, wallets, rings, jeans, horsehide jackets, and more.
By now we're sure you've seen the awesome t-shirt/sticker packs that we released with Florian Bertmer.
We've got a lot more from Flat Head to add to the mix.First up we've received an indigo dyed shirt which has been discharge dyed with a paisley design, this shirt will fade and age over time just like a pair of jeans. We're sure this one is going to go quickly.
Next up is the Flat Head "Glory Park" Kasuri 5-D Acid Trip Short Sleeve. What is happening with the weave pattern of this shirt? We haven't seen a reproduction of the late 50's jacquard or dobby style shirt this crazy, ever.
Flat Head has become known for their Native Check fabrics over the past year or two, woven super slowly, lots of detail, and soft to the touch. They've now done this fabric in a short sleeve shirt and in a color we've never seen before.
We've also received a new "Glory Park" loopwheeled t-shirt with a nice "Speed Shop" design in discharged print. Go faster by wearing this tee.
Along with all these new items we've received a full restock of all Flat Head wallets, rings, bracelets, jeans, blank gray t-shirts, horsehide jackets, Wild Child wallet chains, and more. Everything is available now in-store and online.

Woah, instacop. That Glory park SS is the best looking shirt I've seen in a while. I've really loved the RJB dobby argyle and I think this will be right up there!
-
Got one on the way. But it's a sawtooth snap shirt. Cos that's what Waylon woulda did
Also copped that impeccable discharged race car shirt.

3sixteen 30BSP, Shadow Selvedge, Double Black, & More
We've just received the long awaited restock of all 3sixteen's jeans including the 30BSP 3sixteen+ jean and all three fits of women's jeans.
First up we have a restock of the 30BSP Straight Tapered jean. Made of a hefty 15.5oz sanforized pure indigo dyed Japanese denim woven by Japan's Kuroki Mill and cut and sewn in America.
We get a near daily request for a fit that has room in the upper block but is fairly tapered below the knee. This jean is a combination of a straight leg jean and a tapered jean for the guy that wants (or needs) room in the upper block but also wants a small leg opening. The jean comes complete with hidden rivets, coin pocket selvedge, and the most mystical leather patch to have graced a product at our store.We've also received a restock of the Shadow Selvedge denim from 3sixteen with an indigo warp and black weft. The denim was developed by 3sixteen and custom woven by Japan's Kuroki Mill. The Shadow Selvedge jean comes in both 3sixteen's signature straight and slim tapered fits. This denim will age over time with a super high contrast fade due to the fact that the jean starts dark yet the blue warp threads are rope dyed with indigo.
Next up we've got the Double Black denim jean, a black denim which has a black warp and weft for a very dark black look. This jean is stitched together with black thread and comes with a black dyed leather patch. The Double Black jeans are also available in both straight and slim tapered fits.
For women we've got a restock of 3sixteen+ jeans made of a great pure indigo dyed stretch selvedge denim woven by Cone's White Oak plant. The denim is made of American Supima cotton which is shipped to North Carolina to be spun into yarn then woven into denim by Cone Mills. These 3sixteen+ jeans for women come in a skinny fit, a straight slim fit, and a bootcut fit. All the jeans have a zipper fly and an embossed New York Dolls themed leather patch design.
Along with all these jeans we've received a full restock of all 3sixteen heavy leather belts and bracelets.

Self Edge x Dry Bones Natural Indigo Hank-Dyed Jeans = SEXDB19
After seven years and nearly twenty collaborations we've finally put ourselves up to the task of doing a jean made of a fabric so difficult and so expensive to produce that we could truly say it was a labor of love and passion.
Self Edge and Dry Bones have come together to produce a jean made of 100% natural indigo dyed yarns which were hank-dyed to produce a very deep indigo shade which cannot be replicated using modern dying methods and synthetic dyes. There are a small handful of natural indigo dying masters left in Japan and to say that they work slowly is an understatement. Massive care is taken when preparing the natural indigo dye bath and then the dying the skeins of yarn. Once the yarn is dyed it is then woven into denim on a wooden (but machine powered) loom yielding an extremely uneven texture which brings out the great deep indigo shade hidden within the fabric.
The fabric is then cut and sewn into a straight leg jean with a little taper down past the knee and finished with hidden rivets, indigo dyed cotton twill pocket bags, olive military-grade canvas rear pocket linings, and a cowhide patch.
Due to difficulty of producing this fabric and the costs associated with the production these jeans are limited to only 95 pairs.
Josh Harris is off this week running the Pig and Punch event in New Orleans, in place we have Eugene Terrible from SESF modeling the jeans.The SEXDB19 jean will be available at all Self Edge stores on Saturday, July 27 at noon (local time) and at 10am (PDT) the same day in our online store.

Strike Gold Left Hand Twill Jeans, Loopwheeled T-Shirts, & More
This was definitely a first… we received a jean that sold so quickly in-store that we had no stock left to put into our online store and had to wait until the second batch to officially announce the jean online. This jean is Strike Gold's 17oz unsanforized left hand twill denim jean with gray dyed weft yarns.
We've finally received a full stock of both the straight (model 3105) and slim tapered (model 3109) versions and have enough to fill the online store with. This denim is beautiful and has a medium blue shade and is slightly hairy, we've seen some that have aged since we got them initially four months ago and they look quite good.
We've also received a new loopwheeled t-shirt in two colors with a vintage style flock print to give the print an upraised almost velour feel on the fabric.
Along with these new items all stores have received a full restock of all other Strike Gold jean models and belts in both tan and black.

I love my 3105s Kiya, thanks for the help. Was well worth the wait.
The shirts are also amazing, but folks be sure to check the measurements. I usually do M tees but a L in SG is a tight fit for me. The material is terrific, lots of horizontal loopwheel texture evident out of the box. Silk screened designs will show this texture very evidently.
