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

Jacket looks incredible, and the 23oz denim might just be my perfect denim. Very excited to see these items in the flesh.

[leeroy]

I find jackets without hand pockets to be pretty useless (for me).

i agree, but on such a classic jacket, looks a bit odd. amazing jacket nonetheless.

Type III jackets have been coming with hand pockets since the mid-60's, less than ten years after it first came out.

[big truck]

I'm really edging towards a pair of 634s' for some reason at the moment, just a good cut and I can live with the needlessly heavy weight.

Mega - are you buying either the jeans or the jacket? Im not sure about the model's Jimmy Corkhill styleee!

[itsbenhere]

Is this the last of the 23 oz denim we'll be seeing or is there a possibility it'll show up again?

[Megatron1505]

I am 100% on the jeans, the jacket I will wait until I have seen it, tried it on, and know the price. I'm swamped with jackets, but this one does look a bit special.

[smittybat]

Mega, there's a price on the selfedge site for the jacket.

Honestly not sure at this point.

[Cold Summer]

Extending the length on that jacket was a great idea - normal denim jackets are too short for a tall dude like me. If I had $700 and was in the market for a new one, that's what I would get.

[Megatron1505]

When you consider that this is a 23oz denim jacket, blanket lined, with plenty of other features and limited to a run of 50, I think the price is about spot on.

[Hajduk]

Kiya,

how much weight this jacket?

i would like to know.

thanks K.

[big truck]

23oz - clue is in the title

[Hajduk]

...?

[whackedout]

The weight has been mentioned throughout this whole page... It would help if you'd read a few post.

[Hajduk]

...23oz is about the denim...

i ask the weight of the jacket : denim+wool lining=...?

my 666 25oz does not weight 25oz... do u follow me?

[BrownMetallic]

an odd request ... if your concern has nothing to do with shipping.

total weight will depend on what size you wear, then

[xchen]

25 oz is the fabric weight, based on a square yard of fabric... it's a standardized measurement so that all fabrics can be compared among the entire textile industry.

[Hajduk]

THANKS!!

no smaller sizes in the 634s-sexih13? the smallest listed is a 30?

[Grumpieoldman]

Question on sizing - I have a pair of Beatle Busters - size 34 that fit perfect after a warm soak. From the size chart, the sexih13 size 33 appear to be an equivalent true size to the Beatle Busters Size 34, what's your suggestion - do I go with a 33 or 34?

[kiya]

That is correct, keep in mind they run true to size, the 30 is a fairly small waist size.

A 33 in the new jean should be perfect for you.

Kiya - Question on the leather patch for the Iron Heart 634s-SEXIH13 23oz Selvedge: Is an engine cylinder piston printed on the patch? Sorry, I am not too clear as to what it is. Thanks.

Iron Heart Pop-Up Shop, Party, & Collaborative Collection - New York City

Over six years ago, when we opened the first Self Edge, we had a list of brands which we knew we had to carry. At the top of that list was a brand nearly unknown outside of Japan. We'd seen their jeans in a few motorcycle shops around Tokyo and admired their pure vision; this brand was Iron Heart. Six years later our best selling jean every day, month, and year is their flagship 634s jean. This jean looks great on anybody that tries it on, the fabric feels great right off the bat, and the denim ages well with wear, basically it's the perfect jean.

Over the years Iron Heart has gone from a few jean models, a few shirts, and the occasional winter jacket to a full diverse collection of jeans, pants, shirts, loopwheeled t-shirts, sweaters, wallets, belts, jewelry, and functional outerwear. Being that we carry other brands in our stores it would be impossible for us to properly carry everything Iron Heart produces. We wanted to show off their entire collection in the states so we've taken all the product that Iron Heart currently makes that's available in their flagship stores in Japan and brought it all to New York City for a ten day period.

Starting Saturday, October 20th Self Edge New York will be transformed into an Iron Heart only shop for ten days with a full range of everything they produce. To kick things off we have a party planned for Saturday (October 20th) from 6pm to 10pm. The entire Iron Heart Japan and UK crews will be in full attendance including Shinichi Haraki, the man behind the madness.

To commemorate this occasion we've done a three part collaboration with Iron Heart that will be released at all three Self Edge stores. On October 20th we'll be releasing a Self Edge x Iron Heart Loopwheeled T-Shirt, a 634s jean made of the super dark indigo SEXIHXLSXA13 23oz denim, and The Final Denim Jacket. The Final Denim Jacket is exactly that, the ultimate denim jacket. It's made of 23oz selvedge indigo denim, the body length is 2" longer than your average Type III jacket, it's got two front hand pockets, the entire body is blanket lined, the arms are poly quilted for comfort (when worn with a short sleeve shirt), and it's got a denim phone pocket on the inner left chest. They said we couldn't make a denim jacket out of this fabric due to how many layers of fabric there would be at a few of the stitch points, Haraki-San made it happen and and for that we're very thankful.
