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

[reallypeacedoff]

2 years ago, the USD was worth ~120 Yen, now, it is worth only ~82. That's a 33% decrease. If Kiya decided to put up prices directly correlating the currency exchange, TFH BSP would have gone from $315 >>> $418 instead of $325! Something to think about...

[kiya]

Whats up with denim prices these days? It was only a couple of years ago that top denim topped out ta $300. Now they're hitting $500? This can't all be inflation... are there just more people out there in the game - supply and demand? Really makes me think second of getting another pair

I posted his five days ago:

If the SEXFH05 jean was released today they would have cost $448 because that's how much the Yen has gone up in 2.5 years.

The ONLY reason any of the products we sell are more pricey than they were a year or two ago is because of the valuation of the Yen.

Chew on this: When we opened four years ago the same exact jeans we are stocking today cost us 35% less in Yen. We are now paying between 35% to 40% MORE per jean due to the Yen but our prices have only gone up between 5% and 20% making our already terrible margins even worse.

Except LVC has put their prices up more than the JP companies have. So that won't really help

I'm not sure why people are acting like $500 jeans are new. There have been $500 jeans for a long time. I'm not saying it's not expensive, cause it is...I'm just saying they've been around for a while now. Context has multiple jeans for sale at 500....KMW and The Stronghold off the top of my head.

I'm just guessing, but I bet people are really going to freak when they see the price of the dry bones collab coming out later this month...I'd bet they are even more than the ringring collab.

Actually they're going to be over $100 LESS.

[jdmcnary]

Sweet! I'm excited to see the finished product.

Are the SEXFH05s in the stores already?

[big truck]

Are the SEXFH05s in the stores already?

Nope, theyre long gone.

[blakey]

that's how much the Yen has gone up in 2.5 years.

It's actually the USD valuation declining than the Yen increasing in value. The AUD is worth more than the USD at the moment!

It's a bit of both perhaps. When I bought my Sugarcane SC40600 some three years ago the 60.900 yen translated to a little under 400 euros. Now that would be over 540 euros (and 738 US dollars). I almost fainted when I noticed that.

[entertainment!]

keep in mind the price of everything will only go up over time. and i think with the situation of japan/US's exchange rate kiya has been pretty fair with prices.

Japan is in deflation which means that prices are falling. That might not be the case with jeans of course.

[thelion1856]

word on the streets is that the Japanese Yen will be going up a lot real soon, so buy japanese now.

[readytoignite]

well, the us govt is trying to get the USD to depreciate even more to stimulate exports. so i would expect the yen situation to get worse, not better.

most japanese companies that want to maintain an overseas market don't really adjust their international pricing despite currency fluctuations - curious to see if they throw in the towel. obviously the ones that self edge deal with are not of that persuasion

[FACE]

im sure it must irk the hell out of Kiya to explain "the biz" on here to justify pricing. like a mini simple business lesson every couple of 20 pages

Hey Kiya, any chance you'll be stocking Sugar Cane's Wool Raglan Jacket?

[deadendpro]

Ginno decided to try and out-do diesel's cuteness with his roommates' pet...

[Christmas In A Submarine.]

oh shit... I have a buddy at U of O who just got a piggie.

All Pigz e'erywhere.

[kiya]

Hey Kiya, any chance you'll be stocking Sugar Cane's Wool Raglan Jacket?

Nope, we didn't order that for any of the stores.

[beatle]

[whozdrew?]

Kiya, call me crazy but is there any chance of you guys restocking the Dry Bones D. Lewis Chambray shirt?

[kiya]

No sorry, that was from last year's collection.

[JL77]

Here are some photos of a recent shipment of D.Lewis shirts that we received. These are all exclusive to Self Edge Los Angeles. Give us a call if you have any questions - 323.933.9000.

Embroidered Work Shirts in Black and Grey. Size 38 and 40. This is a small restock of these shirts, which we sold out of earlier in the season. The embroidery details on the shoulders and elbows are really nice.

Shadow Check Long Sleeve Shirts in Red and Black. Size 38 and 40. This is the same style shirt as the Embroidered Work Shirt, but in a new wool blend fabric.

[DonGately]

^what kind of jeans are those?

[PeterParker]

Based on the back pocket shape and the denim, I would hazard a guess and say Eternal 811 (swing and a miss).

I like that grey workshirt. One of these days I've got to visit a SE store in person to see the goods that aren't on the online shop.
