Just a couple of newer updates:

-Self Edge is introducing to the world Sugarcane's newest pair of jeans at the

party, they will retail for around 270... can't release info on the name or design just yet but think STARS...

-If you don't win something from the Sugarcane drawing no worries, we're

also giving away Self Edge gift certificates ranging in value from 25 dollars to 100 dollars

your entry form for the drawings.

-For those wondering, yes, this event is endorsed by Superfuture. Wayne (Mr. Superfuture) and I are working on it together..

-Please bring worn in jeans to show others or other rare denim that you'd like to share with others.

-Please PM "Red" for an RSVP, include your full name, age, location, and

email address

how about everybody meets AT Self Edge, come grab me, and i'll roam the the streets with ya'll.. and there's massive inexpensive good food in the mission and we're only two blocks from BART which can get you downtown in a flash.

thoughts?

has everybody RSVP'd to Red?

Flat Head is seriously amazing stuff, everything from the pocket stitch design to the denim quality is tops.

Iron Heart and Flat Heat.

hands down the two most underrated..

Haha stunt would be a great model.

Stunt is definitely the official Self Edge model.

If you look at the Ironheart website (Japanese one) you'll see that these are available in numbers larger than 25. I'm also pretty sure that you can get them through the guy that distributes IH and posts on here.

IH seems like the new company to jock. Good thing i've had my pair for awhile.

you are correct, they DID have them in Japan, but they're all gone.. these are the only remaining stock worldwide.

the reactions from people seeing them in person have been quite good so far.. people are into the overdye because none of the stitching shows through the black dye for a unique look, especially on a pair of Iron Hearts.

Your school starts on a SUNDAY?? Come to SF early in the week and end it with a bang on that Saturday night.

i totally agree.

do it.

sorry to report, but Superfuture Party 002 will NOT be in America..

do your best to make it out do 001.SFO

We're now aiming for December 15 introducing Imperial Denim first and adding in a new line every 15 to 20 days.

these are not limited, you've been able to get a pair from rebirth for many months.

I've been wanting a pair since I first saw them.

actually, they didn't make too many pairs of these, and the 20 or so pairs we just got in at Self Edge are the last twenty or so pairs remaining in the world..

i never meant to imply that there were only twenty pairs made by IH.

Yeah, tho I still don't think I'll ever mess with 21 oz denim. Maybe I'll change my mind when I see them in person.

if you've never seen Iron Heart jeans in person then i understand what you're saying.. 21 ounces seems unnecessary and not a denim of much comfort. but that's not the case with IH jeans.. it's sort of odd how soft and comfortable they are for being such a heavy weight. it's a combination of the tight weave and the quality of the cotton they're using from Zimbabwe...

hoverboards are the bees knees.

i love mine...

Ok, I'm going. Kiya, any chance u could convince sugarcane that us americans like longer inseams? At least for your collab with them.

i'll do my best.

these are VERY limited. about 25 pairs, only available at Self Edge, sizing goes from 28 to 34 only.

$320 each. you gotta see these in person... makin' a brutha sweat just looking at them.

i know what you're thinking.. WHAT? black selvedge from Iron Heart?

yes.. these guys are overdyed black selvedge in their usual 21 ounce denim..

i just had to share the joy with you all..

i've literally got a zillion things to do to prepare for the holiday season with my three stores and also getting this party underway.

anybody want to volunteer to keep track of the rsvp list for the event, provide an address to email or just take names off the message board?

i'll compensate you for your time and help with a small gift from Self Edge.

yeah i know for a fact

houston is wayy to fucking far

while we may be able to talk denim

i feel for me it would be awkward with such an age gap

and no drinks for minors

enjoy your party sans me

wait..

what's all this talk about "age gap"???

from my understanding there's people from the ages of 15 to 47 coming so far.

where's the age gap?

masuerte..

stay any any of those hotels besides the Carlton..

regarding the NEXT SF party? we're working on it.

ssshhh.

i want every person, including Whall, that think they might be able to make it out to this to definitely try your best to come..

one thing that I really like about these from the pics is that they used the mellow arcuate istead of that deep one they use now.

I really wish they would go back to that pocket style.

oh my god..

i've been saying this EXACT thing for so long now.

i might actually be into buying some of the higher end levi's if they went back to the old "flatter"/"straighter" pocket design..

aaawwwwww man, its cost well over a grand to get to San Francisco from here. Shhhesh Its on my places to visit too. 20% at this stage, would love to though.

trust me, it'll be worth it.

what can i do to sweeten the deal?

I would also like to know if we can bring guests. Should be fun. I better win lots of money in Vegas beforehand.

you can definitely bring guests.

bring anybody you want!

i've actually got a pair of these i've been wearing on and off for almost exactly a year now. They're a modified 505 cut in selvedge that's sorta relaxed on top and super tapered at the bottom, especially considering i got a size 30/30.

They have really nice silver accents (rivets, stitching on pockets, six inches down the top sides..)

one thing to note about these jeans, they BLEED like no other denim i've ever had in my entire life. i almost thought i was seeing things when my beige sneakers turned almost black after two hours of wearing these jeans. still after a soak they bleed all over my shoes and turn the insides of my white shirts dark blue.

strange indeed.
