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

[LandoCal126]

is the ringring collab the so-rumoured fannel lined garmets?

I don't believe so. IH is coming out with a flannel lined waterproof jeans soon. I don't think The ringring collab is flannel lined but I could be wrong...

[apples]

It's single stitched. I think the 35oz (?) lined jeans were Iron Hearts..

Edit: Beat me to it.

[madapaka]

there was a slight description of the ringring collab pages and pages back i think? pocket count and what not....

or i'm just going crazy

The Denim Shorts party is happening again on Sunday June 27th at 4pm, but this time it'll be on some other level. You bring in old jeans and we'll turn them into shorts for you and customize them any way you want.

We'll have chainstitching machines, vintage single needle machines, riveting machines, and more.

Also, every jean we work on will have it's leather patch removed and discarded and replaced with a commemorative leather patch made for the party.

BOOMTIME.

The Skull 5000XX 15th Anniversary Jean & Restocks

For their fifteenth anniversary Skull has released a special jean in limited numbers made of a new denim which they developed just for this project.

Hiro, the founder of Skull has produced a new silhouette for the first time in two years and woven a new denim which is made up of a combination of cotton fibers from Southern California and Arizona (but woven in Japan).

This denim is made up of a longer but thinner cotton staple which makes the denim pliant and long lasting while still rigid.

The new 5000XX jean and a restock of the very popular 5010 and 5507 jeans are now available at SESF and our online store. Restocks aren't as often as we'd like with Skull, once these are gone we don't expect to have them in stock again for a while:

The Skull 5000XX Anniversary Jean

[rungo]

Kiya, if you could do a bit of clearing up with the skulls (from Skull thread/fab-four website)

They list the 5000xx as being Arizona/California blend cotton, and now show the 5510xx as being the same blend of cotton. Nothing is said of fabric changes to the 5507xx, has it been changed also?

The Fabfour site also has some warning about sizing being different, has there been any drastic sizing difference with the 5510/5507?

Thoughts on the new denim would also be appreciated.

[kiya]

I know this isn't reassuring, but just read the Self Edge site, it's correct.

The Fab Four site is wrong in multiple ways. I have a very close relationship with the companies we deal with, what we write on our site and what we promote via message boards is many times (such as now regarding Fab Four) more accurate than reading the company's own website.

[rungo]

I can believe that, plus the FabFour site is contradictory. It says that the sizing has changed, but the size chart with the 'new' sizing is exactly the same as the old one.

http://shop.fabfour.co.jp/showcase/BB035.html this is the only part that confused me, it was listed as a news item on 21st May 2010, and points out the new California and Arizona blend.

I wouldn't have though the denim would be the same on the 5000 vs 5010, but they said the denim had changed, so I thought I'd ask.

Damn, I really might have to make it out for this. Sounds like a cool idea. Kiya, any restrictions on what type of denim is allowed? Can I bring in Non-Selvedge? I don't feel like cutting any of my good stuff because it all has so much life left. Thank you!

One of the store employees told me on the phone that they'll allow any kind of denim for making into shorts.

Cross post for Kiya's input.

"Speaking of the 301s. I was checking out the measurements on a size 36 and everything looks like it would fit perfect except maybe the waist. Which on this pair is listed as 36.5

Usually I need something measuring 35 before stretching. My jeans stretch to 36 and they are comfy. I can't decide if these will be too lose or maybe just right. I thought about the 34 but the rise on that is too low.

Any advice dudes?(Kiya)"

Or a recommendation of something that has similar measurements through out but with a 35 waist for sanforized or will shrink to 35 for unsanforized. So that I can stretch too 36.

[frzn]

Thanks guys, my 5010xx 6x6's just arrived today and I'm super happy with them

I would go for the size 36 unless you want it skin-tight because going down to the size 34 would essentially be like sizing down two.

What's the difference between the new San Joaquin valley cotton fiber compared to the old Texas cotton fiber used on the 5010's and 5507's? Does it make a difference to the fading properties, if so, in which way?

The denim on the 5000XX is slightly less rigid, a hair lighter in shade, and fades closer to what a vintage pair of jeans from the 30's to 50's would age like.

Is that same denim used on the new lot of 5010's? Because on SelfEdge I remember that it used to be detailed as Texas cotton, but currently it says San Joaquin cotton?

No it's not, it's a different denim.

If you notice on our site the two jeans are made of a different denim in the spec lists.

I have the 301's and they have stretched out a bunch. I'm 6' 3" and weigh 195 lbs. I've had mine for a little over a year. I wore them on and off with the 9301's. I've washed them in cold water twice. Mine currently measure 38 inches in the waist. The upper block on these definitely stretches out. You may want to consider the Flat Head SE05BSP. I bought these in a size 36 as well in January. I soaked them for 1 hour in very hot water. These have not stretched as much as the Iron Hearts and fit much tighter in the thigh area. The rise on the Flat head is a little lower than the 301's. I also notice a lot more bleeding from the Flat Heads. Between the two I like the feel of the Iron Heart denim. The 21oz denim is really comfortable. I hope this helps. Kiya - Iron Heart needs to make the 301's in a size 35.

The next collab is the Self Edge x Superfuture x Style Forum jean.

The jean is designed by Self Edge, patches are designed by the two forums.

22oz Unsanforized denim....

Any info on these, ie cut/general release date

[JSFU]

22oz? damn summers coming up kiya..!

[commodorewheeler]

22oz? damn summers coming up kiya..!

I'm guessing that one won't hit before fall/winter. Isn't the ringring collab coming first between the two anyway?

was at SENY this morning, picked up a pair of the 1001 fresh out of the ups box

[madapaka]

i wore my self edge x homeroom t-shirt today and i was wondering if that was released for anything in particular? like a party or something..

i remember it was the first thing i ever bought from self edge but they didn't have my size so i just got a large, so it doesn't fit well.

[kazedemon]

No it's not, it's a different denim.

Then how does the new lot of 5010's differ from the old 5010's in terms of the denim and fading? If different at all

[michaelscott]

hey kiya,

is that SExFH t-shirt in navy? (hard to tell on my screen)

if it is navy, is it the same navy as flat head's other t-shirts?

thanks.

[rjsavestheday]

saw that wabash shirt today, very very nice shirt, so hard to resist buying it haha
