Missed this one..

We've got these coming to all Self Edge stores so we'll have them in-store and online on release day, I believe we got a total of 40 across all of our stores. Excited to finally get these into the shops, the sample we saw in Paris last year looked amazing.

@T4920 said in Self Edge SF, NY, LA, PDX, MX, & ATX:

Just wanted to share that I absolutely love the way SE photograph their models/products.

Haven't purchased from y'all being UK based, but I always use your photos the gauge my interest in pieces, as the natural lighting really does the texture and subtle character of the garments justice.

Thank you so much, that truly means a lot. We spend a lot of time and effort to make sure our photos look a certain way, and messages like this make it worth it!

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!

Austin location still a ‘GO’?

Yup, end of the year!

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.

CRISTINA SPIRIDAKIS, COSTUME DESIGNER FROM THE BEAR

We caught up with Cristina Spiridakis in Athens, Greece. Cristina is the costume designer who purchased white t-shirts from Self Edge 3 years ago and put Carmy (aka, Jeremy Allen White) from The Bear in them for the pilot episode, three seasons in and Carmy is still wearing the same t-shirts in every episode. Not just any plain white t-shirt, one that created such an internet frenzy that we believe it changed the public perception of a white t-shirt for the first time since Marlon Brando wore one in A Streetcar Named Desire in 1951. Cristina’s t-shirt choice created years of endless “What t-shirt is Carmy wearing in The Bear?” news articles, hundreds of memes, online searches for the tee across reddit/forums/discords, a wild sales boom for nearly all high-end blank white t-shirts, endless brands cashed in by using Carmy’s image to sell white tees, and lastly, a newfound mainstream respect for a blank white t-shirt. The humble white t-shirt thanks you Cristina.

For those who were unaware of all this until now.. Carmy from The Bear wears a Merz B. Schwanen 215 loopwheeled t-shirt and a Whitesville Japanese t-shirt from their 2-pack series. Other characters in The Bear may or may not be seen wearing Strike Gold t-shirts.

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.

POTEN SPRING COLLECTION OF JAPANESE BASEBALL CAPS

Poten’s new spring collection is here! ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This season we see Poten doing their caps in a new gray heavy nylon, a black vintage hopsack fabric, and an adjustable cap in black denim . These hats are crazy nice, nicer than any other straight ahead baseball cap we've ever seen. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every cap style has a super soft and supple inner leather headband which has been lightly treated so it’s not destroyed by sweat. ⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The caps have zero exterior branding except for the stitches which you can see from the top of the crown from the interior branding tags being sewn into the center of the crown. The cap has a medium height crown and the brim has a medium length to it with 19 concentric stitches which feel and look pretty cool in person. If you're into baseball caps, you'll love what Poten is doing. ⠀ ⠀⠀

NEW ARRIVALS FROM PURE BLUE JAPAN

Leave it to Pure Blue Japan to create a beautiful new 100% heavy duck cloth fabric. These feel great, are super comfortable, and there's a good amount of depth in the fabric weave to keep them as interesting as your favorite jeans. Available now in olive and khaki in PBJ’s popular straight tapered fit.

We also have new PBJ flannels, made of a custom blend of multi-colored yarns, twisted together to create a very unique tweed-like appearance out of a soft flannel fabric. With the fabric matched cloth covered buttons being a very nice extra touch.

Lastly we've got a new fabric for those wanting PBJ's signature selvedge denim they're known for but in a lighter shade of indigo. These “Smoky Blue” jeans have a very unique shade and feel, even for Pure Blue Japan, which is saying a lot.

BONCOURA BLACK PAINTER PANTS & INDIGO TYPE II JACKETS

Boncoura’s 15oz black denim Painter Pants and indigo denim Type II jackets have landed at all stores.

A true icon of American workwear, painter's pants have been reimagined through Boncoura's lens. Originally designed for painters, carpenters, and craftsmen, these pants were built for practicality and durability. While staying true to their workwear heritage, Boncoura has refined the silhouette and materials with a contemporary approach. The fabric is woven using Boncoura's original cotton denim, meticulously developed from the selection of raw cotton, fiber blend, and spinning techniques. Woven on Boncoura's special-spec vintage shuttle looms, it boasts a 15oz weight, giving it a rugged texture that contrasts with the lighter ounce vintage painter pants. This robust construction ensures a unique patina and character that will develop beautifully over time. For this black denim Boncoura has applied a rope-dyeing technique, setting it apart from conventional vintage black denim, which is typically dyed to the core. With traditional "piece-dyed" black denim, fading is minimal, but BONCOURA’s approach maintains a white core, allowing for a fading process similar to classic indigo denim. Over time, the fabric reveals a striking contrast, creating a distinct aged effect. Boncoura's exclusive dye formulation gives the fabric a rich, deep black with a nuanced depth that evolves beautifully with wear.

We also have a reinterpretation of the iconic 1950s type II American denim jacket. On vintage type II jackets, underarm gussets were typically found only on larger sizes. Inspired by this historical detail, Boncoura has incorporated it into all sizes of this jacket. The fabric is made from Boncoura’s proprietary "Ikemen" denim, the same as used in the 66 and XX jean models. The underside of the pocket flaps are lined with their original chambray fabric, allowing for a beautifully aged patina over time.

STUDIO D'ARTISAN EXTREME & NATURAL INDIGO DENIM JEANS

EXTREME DENIM ALERT ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Studio D’Artisan has been killing it lately on every front. Their fabric development has reached new heights these past few seasons. Really great to see a line pushing like this after being around for 46 years. This week we’ve received these new Kakishibu denim jeans made of a 16oz mixed slub yarn denim with a persimmon dyed warp and natural weft. Truly beautiful denim from these Japanese natural dye specialists. These come in a straight leg fit and come factory rinsed for easier sizing.

We also have natural indigo dyed jeans this week. Studio D'Artisan knows their way around the finer details of working with natural indigo, so it's no surprise that their new SD-808 jean is made of such a beautiful fabric. This new denim is slightly hairy when new, has a light slub character due to the medium staple cotton used, and has been rope-dyed meaning it will age in a slightly more dramatic way compared to many other natural indigo dyed denim fabrics. These come in a straight tapered fit with a medium rise and the jean is finished with herringbone twill pocket bags.

NEFF GOLDSMITH RESTOCK - STRANGE & INTERESTING JEWELRY

We've just received a very large restock of Neff Goldsmith's entire line of sterling silver and gold jewelry. We absolutely love jewelry and have slowly expanded our jewelry selection at our stores over the past couple of years. Neff Goldsmith is a jewelry line made by an extremely talented jeweler and maser setter by the name of Chris Neff. ⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Chris' inspirations come from his deep understanding of the heritage of jewelry and vintage silversmithing. All pieces are made in-house at his own foundry out of sterling silver with many pieces having 18k yellow gold accents. His detail and milgrain work is unlike anything we've ever seen and he's got some interesting twists on classic signet rings, band rings, pendants, and necklaces. ⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The restocked Neff Goldsmith collection of jewelry is available now at all 6 of our stores and in our online store.
