Strike Gold "Deep Indigo" Limited Jeans & Loopwheeled T-Shirts

 

Strike Gold had been working on a new 17oz denim that would create a particular indigo shade they had in mind.  The mill produced a small run of the fabric for them which they were satisfied with, then shortly after when the production run started Strike Gold put a stop to the run because the shade didn't match the initial sample run.  The mill stated they could not match that exact shade again unless they added pigment dye to the indigo bath.  Strike Gold refused to do this as they wanted to stay with a 100% pure indigo dyed jean.  These people are extremely particular about their denim.  They decided against making a jean that wasn't exactly as they envisioned, so instead they produced only 175 pairs, which is all the initial denim run could be made into.  The jean is cut into Strike Gold's slim tapered XXX9 fit and is availble only at Self Edge and at Strike Gold's own shop in Okayama, also, each jean comes with a Strike Gold tote bag.  

 

Along with the new jean we've had Strike Gold make us a new run of their very popular blank loopwheeled tees, these are the ultimate loopwheeled t-shirt.  The feel, fabric weight, stitching, and fit are top notch.  They've also managed to make them up to XX-Large by putting a side seam on the largest size.  

 

The jeans, tees, and a full restock of most Strike Gold jean models are available now at all Self Edge stores.

Yes, in December when the new run is done.

Dang, the new SG patch looks fantastic, so much nicer than the old one. Are they using that on all models from now on?

Mister Freedom HBT Denim Appaloosa

 

One of the coolest denim shirts we've stocked was Mister Freedom's original Appaloosa shirt from 2013.  This season we see an updated version made of an 8oz dark pinstripe herringbone twill 2x1 denim.  The HBT pattern is more apparent on the inside of the fabric while on the outside the pinstripes are very subtle.  The fabric starts with a black/gray shade when brand new and will naturally fade to a indigo blue with regular wear and washing. 

 

The new Mister Freedom shirt along with a full restock of all of MF's blank t-shirts are available now at all Self Edge stores.

Self Edge Hard Enamel Pins!

 

We've gone and made some awesome Self Edge pins, perfect for your denim jacket, chambray shirt, or any other place you want to add some flair.  These are fancy hard enamel pins made of a brass/copper blend which are nickel plated, have a hard enamel inlay, and come with really nice spring'd flat head tie-tack clasps.  Needless to say, these are step above your average enamel pin. 

 

We have Diesel (the Self Edge French Bulldog mascot), the Self Edge logo, and a shuttle from a denim shuttle loom.  No, it's not a canoe pin, it's what the weft yarn on the loom is spun around that goes shooting back and forth on the loom to create the weft of the denim.  

 

These are available now to up your flair game at all Self Edge stores and our online store.

I'm sorry, i had no intention of selling these or anything else at all. I meant to pour my entire life and savings into products across five stores and not sell anything.  I believe that's what the internet would rather me do.  (9)
