SAMURAI CHAMBRAY SHIRTS & JEANS 

Samurai just hit us with some nice indigo chambray work shirts. This shirt is made from a selvedge fabric that resembles lightweight denim. Selvedge detailing runs throughout—on the placket with its front buttons, the gusseted side hems, and even inside the sleeves. This style of construction requires more fabric than usual. The shirts are finished with engraved nut fiber buttons, triple-needle construction, and chainstitch run-off.

Samurai’s Uguisu denim is finally back. The S0150GNX jean is made of Samurai's newest in-house developed denim, the 17oz left hand twill Uguisu denim. These are made into their classic straight leg fit and finished with custom iron buttons and a very nice jacquard finishing fabric on the inside. 

Twenty-one ounce denim from Samurai is back in stock! The S520XX21oz jean from Samurai is their flagship heavy weight denim jean in their newest relax tapered fit. Unbelievably nice denim with a perfect fit for those wanting a classic fit top block of a jean with a little taper below the knee.

RICK OWENS MADE IN JAPAN WINTER COLLECTION 

We’ve just received the Rick Owens Kurdt jean in a pure indigo dyed Japanese selvedge denim. This jean is Rick Owens' take on a classic 501 straight leg style jean with a medium rise; definitely a future classic. 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 highly anticipated Self Edge exclusive rerun of the GETH jean from Rick Owens’ GETHSEMANE collection is here. It’s got a long rise, a super wide leg, and is made of a Rick Owens developed 16oz black/black Japanese selvedge denim which has a sulfur dyed warp and reactive dyed weft for maximum fading character. 

GASOLINE PLAID flannel cropped outershirts are here. One of our favorite pieces from the Made in Japan collection are these outershirts. These can be worn as a light jacket or as a shirt worn over just a t-shirt. They have heavy duty outer snap buttoned chest pockets making them quite functional too. This version is made of a lightly brushed 100% cotton flannel.

We've also received RUST brushed cotton cropped outershirts; this version is made of a heavily brushed 100% cotton textile and is unbelievably soft.

SELF EDGE X BRAIN DEAD = SEXBD25

The Self Edge x Brain Dead Collaboration Release Party at Self Edge Portland, THIS SATURDAY.

Come join us and the Brain Dead team to celebrate the release of our collaborative capsule collection of jeans, jackets, t-shirts, real hats, Good Art pendants, stickers, & bootleg hats. We made some really high quality stuff with the Brain Dead crew, took us only two years to get everything made, we think it was worth the wait. We've come together with Brain Dead to create a collaborative capsule collection of jeans and jackets made of a special slub yarn cotton and linen blend Japanese denim, woven by Japan's famed Nihon Menpu Mill. This denim was designed and produced exclusively for this collection and was cut and sewn into three different garments in Japan, at the highest level quality jean cutting and sewing production facility we know of.

This denim was designed to be easy to wear but packed with character, coming in at a 14.01oz weight (yes, that's the actual final spec the mill gave us) and without any additional chemicals or treatments; this is a pure indigo dyed unsanforized denim that's been lightly factory rinsed for easier sizing. We had the jeans finished with custom Brain Dead shank buttons, copper nipple rivets, and a stamped cowhide leather patch. These jeans fuse iconic Brain Dead design cues with the refined sensibilities of Self Edge throughout. The straight leg model features a classic straight-leg fit with a medium rise—reminiscent of a late-1940s 501 and the wide leg model features a wide leg fit and a high rise.

We also have wool 5-panel caps, two different tubular knit t-shirts, and a Good Art for Self Edge x Brain Dead sterling silver pendant. All items will available at all 6 of our stores Saturday, October 18th.

STUDIO D'ARTISAN BENGARA DYED JACKETS, SLUBBY JEANS, & BELTS 

Bengara-dyed modified Type III jackets from Studio D’Artisan are here. These jackets are made from 14oz Japanese selvedge denim and dyed with Bengala, a natural pigment born from the earth. Bengala has been used in Japan for centuries, celebrated for its warmth, depth, and connection to tradition. Known as a “soil dye,” it is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, offering a sustainable approach to color. Unlike plant-based dyes, Bengala is exceptionally resistant to fading, preserving its rich tone through years of wear. This special edition jacket features SDA’s engraved copper rivets, custom buttons, and a unique Bengara leather patch. Side hand-warmer pockets add functionality to the classic Type III silhouette.

Slubby denim from Studio D’Artisan is here in a new wide leg fit. These GL3 SD-1002 jeans are Studio D'Artisan's newest jean made of their newly developed slubby 15oz denim. They nailed the feel and look of this denim, with the 15oz weight it's a heavy denim which can be worn year round. SDA truly nailed the perfect amount of slub yarn character for just the right about of slub pattern in the denim. This denim is unsanforized (but rinsed) and has some great character to it; it starts out a little darker than your average raw indigo jean so it's sure to look great once the patina forms as some areas start to lighten with regular wear.

Studio D’Artisan Orgueil narrow harness leather belts are back. Maybe you want a heavy duty leather belt but don’t want the standard 1.75” width we’ve been carrying for years. Studio D’Artisan has you covered with these new 1.2” (3cm) narrow harness leather belts. These have a wild amount of natural pull-up oil, feel great, and are sure to look amazing once they patina.

BONCOURA TYPE III JACKETS - THREE WAYS 

We have new Type III style jackets from Boncoura this week, available in three styles. 

Boncoura just hit us with two absolutely beautiful water-resistant suede Type III jackets. These jackets draw inspiration from the brand’s iconic Type III denim jacket. Rather than simply adapting the denim pattern, Boncoura completely redrafted the design to showcase the unique character of leather while preserving the original elegance of the fit. The proportions have been carefully refined to maintain clean lines and allow comfortable layering over shirts or lightweight knits. Unlined and cut from a single piece of leather, the jacket reveals the natural smoothness of the inner grain surface. The suede side features a short, delicate nap that gives it an exceptionally soft, refined hand. A hallmark of this leather is its natural water repellency. Whereas suede is typically treated with waterproof sprays that compromise its texture, Boncoura collaborated with skilled tanners to develop a leather that retains its supple feel while effectively resisting water. Through a specialized tanning process, the material resists water stains and discoloration, making it suitable even for rainy days. With wear, the jacket develops a rich patina and distinctive creases at the elbows, reflecting the life of its wearer. Available now in sand and black.

Boncoura's 15oz indigo denim Type III jacket is a reinterpretation of the iconic 1960s type III American denim jacket. Originally created as workwear, denim jackets eventually found their way into everyday dress. As that transition unfolded, what began as structural functionality gradually evolved into aesthetic form. The Type III jacket stands as a symbol of that shift—from utility to expression. In developing this piece, Boncoura drew strong inspiration from the rare and beautifully balanced silhouette of the 558 model. While respecting the proportions of the time, every measurement and line was carefully reexamined to pursue a silhouette that carries both ruggedness and natural refinement.

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 chambray fabric, allowing for a beautifully aged patina over time. All components, including BONCOURA’s original hardware, have been carefully crafted to ensure long-lasting wear. Like the denim itself, these metal parts will develop a unique patina with use. Stitching is done with cotton thread, following traditional construction methods. The thread thickness varies from gauge 8 to 30, drawing inspiration from period-authentic stitch-work. Now at all stores!

I love TSG denim but their rise across all fits is just so low. Crazy that a size 38 is 10.5" still. Seems this "new" model, they have updated it to close to 13" now which is perfect. You think they are planning to update across all fits/denims?

No, at this time the only model with the higher rise is the new jean, they won't be updated past model numbers.

Pure Blue Japan brings its signature indigo expertise to a unique denim that blends deep blue tones with a subtle green cast. The 019-GRE fabric features a textured, neppy surface and an indigo warp enriched with green sulphur dyed weft, creating a shade that grows richer and more dimensional as it fades. Woven on vintage shuttle looms, these 14oz jeans include classic construction details like chain-stitched hems, roped belt loops, sturdy rivets, and a deerskin patch. Cut in the brand’s “019” relaxed/straight tapered fit, they offer a clean silhouette with a mid rise, comfortable room in the thigh, and a gradual taper through the leg.
