Me too. Would have loved to be there. Here's hoping for next year.

Might have to take advantage of the online sale though. Next best thing to being there.

[tmadd]

I have every intention of living within walking distance by this time next year.

Awesome article. Wish I could be there tonight at the party.

kiya,

What is sizing on the Flat Head 1001 like? The measurements suggest true to size, but I read about these stretching considerably in the Flat Head thread. I'm a true 32 and was trying to decide between 31 and 32, although you're sold out of the 31's now...

What other jeans do you currently own in what sizes?

[jimmybones]

Kiya,

I was an idiot and bought a shirt a couple hours ago thinking it would be an entry into the raffle tonight. If i bring the receipt by later tonight, will it still count?

[PeterParker]

Unfortunately, nothing carried at Self Edge. This would be my first pair of serious denim. My main concern is the fit of the thighs (mine measure 22"). I'm looking for a slim fit, and I have short legs (5'9", 165lbs)

Perhaps you're familiar with the 3sixteen SL-100X denim... I'm wearing a size 30 in those (measured at 31.5") .

I'd guess you'd need a size 31 in most of the jeans we sell.

22" thighs? if you're between the 31 and 32, you're going to need a size 32 in the flat head 1001's, imo.

Is it safe to assume that size 29 SExIH03 will fit very similar to my size 29 flat head BSPs? i would try getting a the SExIH03BK, but those being a tad smaller scare me a little. my size 28 SExSC02's are killing my lower half.

In fact, as seems to be customary, upon arriving at Bender’s, Kiya ran into several people he knew, and among them were a pair of travellers from London called Jon and Angi that had been by the shop earlier in the day. They’re newlyweds on an epic journey around the world, and though they had but a couple days in San Francisco, they spent two full hours at Self Edge. Jon said that of all the retail shops in all the cities they’ll visit on their year-and-a-half-long intercontinental tour, Kiya’s tops the list, by a longshot. He had a boatload of jeans shipped back to England.

this guy bought so many jeans!!

I was the kid you helped just after. Thanks for the great deal on the sweater. Got so many compliments last night on it.

['lejandro]

hey kiya what does a single-stitch jean mean?

[NoWay77]

When will there be a restock on the black denim short sleeve shirt? I need a large and wanted to pick one up during this sale, but you're out.

Also, when will the short sleeve stuff from flat head and others start showing up?

I am already pretty sure this is going to blow my mind, but if that "T" doesn't stand for Toyo then I don't even think I want to know how insane it is going to be. I might as well just mail in a blank check.

PS: I hope all you are all having fun with your Fernet binges. I am not going to miss another SE party ever.

[technicolor]

I need more SEXTXRR10 details.

Anything to wet my appetite.

Preferably full disclosure.

[PeterParker]

Thinking about picking up the Flat Head Black Mint shirt. I have a 40" chest, thinking of going with the 42 but the 20" shoulder measurement is throwing me off. Most of my shirts measure 42" in the chest and 18.5" across the shoulders.

If I go with the 42 will the shoulders be boxy/sleeves be too long?

Nah, the 42 is exactly what you need, the shirt shrinks a hair when washed too.

[gamma888]

just got back home from work and just wondering what's the status on the raffle drawing? i'm wondering if i'm in the raffle after purchasing my seXdb09 jeans at SE a few days ago? i'm too dead exhausted to go to SE's tonight... and i'll be out of town again tomorrow, so won't be able to attend tmw's party as well... boo hoo.. hope everyone had a blast earlier tonight and of course, need to see some pixes of all sf'ers...

kiya,

Thanks for your help. I ended up ordering a pair of Flat Head 1001's - would have loved to get the shirt too but money's tight. First purchase at Self Edge, and I've got a feeling that it won't be the last...

I'll be in Japan in a month's time so perhaps I'll seek out the mint shirt there. I would have waited until then to buy the jeans too but I couldn't pass on the sufu party discount.

On the topic of Japan, what is the availability/pricing of Flat Head stuff like over there? Based on the writeup of the black mint shirt, it sounds like it'd be hard to find. Also, I notice a lot of rakuten sites sell at full retail prices. If in-store pricing is the same, then I just might bite the bullet and give SE the business.

By the way, what shipping service do you use for shipping to Canada?
