Self Edge, SF/NY/LA/PDX - updates & info

[unklesteve]

Congrats. You should celebrate by rubbing one out in a big pile of all that money you made fleecing Mission residents. A.K.A. "working".

[sidneylo]

Speaking of working, I gotta ask my parents for more denim money.

[unklesteve]

I can't stop laughing over a bunch of San Francisco hipsters who don't understand quality workwear.

I mean...they don't work. What do they care what people wear who do?

[jobesjobes]

Kiya, got my IH 9301! Amazing! That's all! I'll post pictures later on the IH page. Cheers mate...

You ready for this?

No more Flat Head chambray shirts, they've stopped producing them, what we've got is all there is left.

[halberdklown]

dammit! so much for waiting for the beige one to come back...

[Osmosis Jones]

[nattomoto]

Thought I should pitch in on this one.

This is healthy discussion and some points are very uneducated and are formed as puberty mood-swings tiffs, but most comments are posing good questions and tactful rhetoric.

As one of the employees at Self Edge (a local), I live around the block, I drink coffee from everywhere because the Mission has delicious coffee everywhere, from 14th to 24th ST…I buy my groceries mostly from Mi Ranchita on Mission x Sycamore, or other small markets (even Bi-Rite because they have hard to find quality shit) and frequent pretty much every bar, restaurant, live venue shows, punk house shows, and fuck I even give people alcohol and food at my own place when throwing music/art shows out of my garage in Clarion Ally. I support my neighborhood, just as Kiya does.

Point being, to live in the mission means to be able to experience all of this. Self Edge proves that the Mission can still offer more. Let’s be honest, the Mission has been changing ever since Willy Brown came in to the SF office. Thus bringing in higher rent control and options for even larger companies such as Sketchers on Mission to set up shop. Self Edge finally gives this once punk, diy, and now clearly gentrified area something to look forward to. For example, who the fuck made it ok for a 5 story condo complex to go right next to our store??? Probably that asshole Newsome. Definitely not us holmes. We have nothing to do with the large scale building changes which are the real fucking problems with the Mission. In fact we are supporting so much that “was” the mission…by taking over a rundown business and giving a historical retail space a new and thriving face for the future. Fuck your self-righteous arguments and nay-saying on quality product. I dare any of you to visit the WORK SHOPS in Japan where our products are made, and then visit your beloved Levi’s sweatshops in god-knows-where Asia. Then try to tell us we are gentrifying and hurting the businesses in the Mission. It’s time to grow and keep this beautiful neighborhood alive. It’s time for people who were the punks to start making businesses that reflect their passions… and at last making it a possibility for the Mission to stay somewhat intact with conscious and kind businesses.

Thank you.

Plus fuckin' rep, dude.

^Nicely put. A good step towards unbunching the collective panties of the whining masses, perhaps?

[habia]

Clay, you're the man. not 'The Man' but, you know what I mean

take care! and see you around

[sidneylo]

Wait, you mean Clay actually lives in the Mission? Yuck!

sidney you just killed me with that avatar

killed me.

@kiya: How is the rjb denim compared to sc okis in terms of texture? I just love the slubby rough hairy texture of my okis, and I've been looking for something that still has that characteristics, but maybe a bit more clean and finished...would RJB's fit that description?

Sounds like you'd like the denim on the RJB jeans, it's not crazy slubby like SC's 50/50 denim, but it's still got a lot of character and becomes hairy like Flat Head's denim after a soak and fades quite quickly too.

[vjiforlife]

Kiya, any fancy new shirts coming in soon?

+rep for the daft punk helmet.

also. Kiya, since i know the SExIH cyclist jeans won't be restocked, do you recommend anything similar...

only 3 months and i've already had to repair the ass on my jeans. and a back pocket on an other 2 pairs.

fyi, i ride my bike about 40 miles a week just as a commute.

Either get the 634s or 301s from Iron Heart.

If you want true indestructible jeans get the 9634 or 9301, both also from Iron Heart.

[acidline]

Kiya, any idea on when you might have more FH leather bracelets?

i can imagine acidline coming into the se store only to be met with "APRIL FOOLS"

:s

[acidline]

Jesus that was a quick response, awesome.

[vjiforlife]

Wait, I'm confused. Is it just the SExFlathead Chambrays that aren't being restocked or the actual Flathead chambrays? Does this include other flathead shirts like houndstooths, mint shirts, etc?

Read Kiya's post again with a clear mind.
