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

[stingray1381]

Yeah, I am giving it a shot because they look so great. We'll see.

[Cold Summer]

I'm an 11.5 in Vans and most other sneakers, and frustrated that all these sweet Japanese shoes will never fit me.

[stingray1381]

Yeah, probably won't fit. I can get a store credit if necessary.

That 3sixteen jean isn't being made again till July or August.

We have the Iron Heart 301s cut being made in the SBG denim coming next month, that's black/black, fades, selvedge fabric.

Just received a full Iron Heart restock at all stores including the 301s slim cut jean, belts, jackets, vests, and all other jean models which are currently in production:

Kiya, I'm starting to think about a new pair of jeans, and I'm curious about the strike gold 1109s. Looking at the images on your site, the denim looks similar to the old Eternal 872s, but less streaky. Would you say that's a fair assessment? I'm wanting something that's out of the ordinary. My first thought was the recycled Sugar Canes, but I don't see them on your site anymore.

The denim is far closer to PBJ denim than Eternals. They're not slubby as much as they have massive engineered loom chatter, so the initial feel is abrasive.

Kiya, will the SBG 301s have the selvage outseam?

[kiya]

Kiya, will the SBG 301s have the selvage outseam?

No, because the cut is tapered from the inner AND outer leg to achieve the exact slim fit of the 301s.

[Quoise1203]

I wondered why the 301 doesn't have a selvedge outseam. I'm not sure I understand. Are other tapered selvedge jeans only tapered on the outseam?

Every selvedge jean that shows selvedge on the outseam has a completely straight outer leg on the cut. To achieve a certain slim fitting jean with the exact cut you want you need to cut the outseam off so that you can taper the jean from the inner and outer leg.

[Quoise1203]

Thanks a lot for the explanation. Of course I meant "are other tapered selvedge jeans only tapered on the inseam?" but you got it.

Thanks again

Hey Kiya, do my Flat Head BSPs have all-cotton or cotton/poly thread construction? I'm guessing the latter, but it doesn't say on the SE product description page.

Those are cotton/poly stitch.

[jbanger]

just noticed that there's been a restock of the FH Single strand leather & silver bracelet in large so i just placed my first se order, lol.

[in_limbo]

just to be sure, when i order my bsp's, i should definitely size up one from my unbranded size? i wouldn't want them to be any more relaxed a fit than what these are in the leg really.

[PeterParker]

i'm always amazed by kiya's confidence in recommending sizes based on "i wear size x in brand a, what size do i need in brand b?".

to be sure, i would

1. grab a tape measure and your unbranded jeans.
   
2. measure them following these instructions: http://www.selfedge.com/_measurements.php
   
3. look at self edge's bsp size/measurement chart
   
4. buy one size up from the size with the same waist measurement as your unbranded jeans (to account for shrinkage after soaking)
   

these instructions are assuming your unbranded jeans fit you comfortably. if they are too big or too small, then compensate for sizing accordingly.

Me too. Kiya sure does know his jeans.
