RICK OWENS MADE IN JAPAN GETH & DETROIT JEANS The highly sought after GETH jean from Rick Owens is back in a new double-knee variant. It’s got a long rise, a super wide leg, and is made of an in-house developed 14oz indigo or 16oz black/black Japanese selvedge denim. This was a instacop for many of our staff members across our stores when it was first released three years ago, the fit is just so perfect and it's now been stepped up with the double-knee detail. We’ve also received the Rick Owens LIDO edition of the Made in Japan Detroit. We love the way these turned out and are excited to offer this model in what we think is the most versatile jean silhouette Rick Owens produces. These are made of a in-house developed 14oz Japanese selvedge denim with a pure indigo dyed warp and natural weft. This denim truly comes alive after it’s been soaked or softened by a bit of wear and we can’t wait to see some pairs of these super worn in over time.

THE FINE CREEK SHINKI HORSEHIDE RYAN JACKET The Fine Creek RYAN jacket in Shinki horsehide is back! We’ve got a hot one this week from Fine Creek. The Ryan model is here and is made of what we believe to be the best horsehide in the world from Japan’s famed Shinki Hikaku tannery. This 1.3mm tea-core dyed horsehide feels and looks great when new and looks unbelievable when broken in. Fine Creek have created a completely new Shinki "recipe" for the Ryan model, we've never seen a Shinki horsehide which looks and feels like this. The Ryan jacket has three zippered outer pockets and is cotton flannel lined. These are available now in black or brown in limited numbers at all stores.

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. Shop Samurai Online: https://www.selfedge.com/samurai

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.

SELF EDGE RECORDS - W. DAVID MARX Next up in our Self Edge Records series we have W. David Marx. W. David Marx, author of “Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style” and “Status and Culture” presents the playlist--Early Japanese Technopop-- a mostly chronological guide that tells the story of how synthesizers took over Japanese alternative music in under a decade. W. David Marx for Self Edge Records:

INTRODUCING BONCOURA - THE LONGEST PATH TO COMPLETION We are excited to announce a new brand added to the roster of lines we carry at Self Edge, Hisashi Morishima’s Boncoura. Morishima was born and raised in Amerikamura, Osaka, a place known for its abundance of American vintage clothing and imports, all within biking distance from his home. From his early school years, he immersed himself in thrift stores, drawn in by vintage Made-in-USA clothing. Over the years he became obsessed with vintage basics such as jeans, t-shirts, and fleece hoodies. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After working for a major Japanese department store, Morishima thought to start his own business. Although starting a thrift store would have been fitting, considering his collection, he had a different vision. He explained, "I can't modify vintage clothing myself. So, if I want to express myself, I'd rather create it. I've worn plenty of vintage XX, and based on that experience, I decided to make the jeans I wanted to wear. I never once considered it a business; it's purely an extension of my hobby." With this idea, is where Boncoura started. While Boncoura is an extension of his hobby, it's precisely because of this that he refuses to compromise. Every recipe, from the origin of the cotton to blending ratios, yarn twisting, and the concentration of pure indigo, is entirely original and exclusive to his brand. The attention to detail we’ve seen in his garments isn’t something we’ve seen from many lines over the years and we’re excited to show you what Morishima has been creating.
