*edit* Gonna be there when Self Edge opens? I kinda wanted to ask about a SF meet and greet in another thread about SE but i wasnt too sure that was such a hot idea

how about this?

we'll even HOST a SF meet n greet..

is that too cheesy?

can we live with ourselves after doing this?

it might be too much.

think about it.. if it sounds appealing, we'll set up a SF meet n' greet... we'll supply the music and alcohol. you guys supply the bodies and we'll do it after business hours.

we'll actually have every brand we've listed in full stock upon opening. and as of right now, we're still aiming for a November 1st opening date and a huge opening party november 18th.

we also have about 5 brands of tops we've added and we're working on our fifth and sixth brand of denim at the moment.

maybe this all requires it's seperate thread. there was no intention on hijacking this thread.. hehe..

this this only pair I have seen online, and they dont seem cheap. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/kobori/10000364/

whow, that's very odd.

those are the exact jeans i own which i was referring to above at the top of the page.

i must say, you look very flavorful in those.

am i reading this right?

banana republic is selling jeans that they're claiming are selvedge for 16 dollars?

www.selfedge.com

yup, i am that cat from turf.

and yes, i'm opening Self Edge..

prices will be the usual prices expected on these brands..

nothing higher than usual.

a store for people that love denim.

it's about time san francisco had one.

we'll announce that tomorrow night when the temporary splash page for the site goes up..

think sugarcanes, samurai, nudie, iron heart....

San Francisco.

mission district.

18th/Valencia.

november 1st.

a new store called Self Edge.

if you live in San Francisco or around it, you will very soon be having a similar joy as all these new yorkers being able to go into Blue In Green in person.

i had no idea what to do with myself while SF was down.

i spent some time rearranging my denim collection by appellation and original inseam lengths.

i totally agree, turn them into short cut offs.

i have a pair of Notify jeans that are totally resin pressed, which i'm assuming is what you're referring to.

they're a dark indigo but after the resin pressed procedure they almost look like they're made of black leather.

they're wearing in slowly but they're looking better after every wear.

buy your actual size, they run true..

they also stretch around 1.25" to 2" after about ten to fifteen wears..

i wear a 29 and at first they were really tight around the waist. now i'm almost at a point where i have to wear a belt with one of my pairs.

you got me. haha...

they're size 28, and they're RB6's..

here's a three month old post of me trying to sell them.

so funny..

i've got the same exact jeans in size 29 and they're too tight.

i need a 30.

yeah, they're far cheaper in japan than in the the western market.

a word of advice..

pass on the PumaXEvisu jeans..

the quality is nowhere near what regular issue Evisu jeans are at..

and that's not saying much.

regardless, from the feel to the stitching you're getting something more along the lines of "puma denim" than "evisu denim"...

spend a little more and get some true evisu jeans..

or skip on it all together and jump on some samurai's..

that's a really interesting concept..

to dye both the warp and the weft..

but like the earlier person said, wouldn't this heavily color your legs?

whow..

the Yamane's i bought from he Evisu store in Hong Kong Central about three years ago cost me about 300 USD. they are of the best quality i've ever seen on ANY denim, complete with hidden rivets in the rear pockets..

shotgun them. it worked for HST...

that's really fucking nasty...

and if you're talking about sweat shop, peep how Van's are made, not nike.

oh no, this is going to be bad for my pocketbook.

you can either soak it in a tad bit of indigo dye, then wash it once in cold water, then iron it out. that should do it.

but then again, the "folds" look great, i wouldn't touch em.

Some Information, hope it helps..

not to burst your bubble, but at the location you're at it's going to be very difficult to get ANY account with Nike.

i'll break it down for you..

Nike = No Way, you're far too close to other Urban Elite dealers and i'm sure you don't just want some air maxes, shox, and sprint sisters

New Balance = you'll be able to get a Tier 2 account, nothing that shoes heads will pay any attention to, but still some cool stuff

Adidas = they'll give anybody an account

Vans = GR stuff will be easy, Vault will be near impossible where you are

Onitsuka Tiger = same as adidas, they'll give almost anybody an account

hope that helps..
