We used to stock both for 7 years, but we found the 1947 would outsell the 1966 10 to 1 so we stopped stocking the 1966 model.  

i've thought about this more...why do you think this was the case? i understand i might be in the minority, but i love the SC '66 cut. particuarly a few years ago when tapered cuts were super popular, i would've guessed the '66 would easily out sell the '47.

No idea, I think the appeal of having a jean from the '40's was bigger than the appeal of having a jean from the late '60's.  Not to mention if I'm not mistaken many consumers looked at the two as very similar jeans but the 1966 came at a price that that was 20% higher than the 1947.

Pure Blue Japan Natural Indigo Dyed Shirts & 14oz Straight Tapered Jeans

Pure Blue Japan has just delivered two new items from their fall collection.  First we have a 6oz hank-dyed double natural indigo shirt which has the most impressive deep indigo shade we've seen on a shirting fabric.  These come rinsed and will fade over time like a pair of jeans with regular wear and washing.

We've also received the XX-019 straight tapered jean in a 14oz rope-dyed indigo denim.  This jean has an indigo warp, a natural weft, and comes with iron buttons, a deerskin patch, and is available in PBJ's very popular straight tapered fit.

Both of these items are available now at all stores.

3sixteen Pima Cotton T-Shirts and Leather Belts

We've just received a large restock of 3sixteen's recently introduced Pima cotton blank t-shirts.  After years of making some of the best tees money can buy 3sixteen has released a new version of their blank t-shirt 2-packs. These are made of an American grown Pima long staple cotton and come in a fuller fit compared to their heavyweight t-shirts. These t-shirts have a softer hand compared to the heavyweight version, are cut a little longer and fuller in the body, and have been lightly rinsed.  These tees are available in black or white and either plain or with a pocket.

We've also received a new run of their heavy leather belts.  These belts are made in Japan of a very nice Japanese cowhide and come with a solid brass buckle.   These are available in a wide range of sizes and in tan, brown, or black.

All these items along with a full restock of jeans are available now.

Neff Goldsmith Restock - Strange & Interesting Jewelry

We've just received a very large restock of Neff Goldsmith's entire line of sterling silver and gold jewelry.  We absolutely love jewelry and have slowly expanded our jewelry selection at our stores over the past couple of years. Neff Goldsmith is a jewelry line made by an extremely talented jeweler and master setter by the name of Chris Neff.  

Chris' inspirations come from his deep understanding of the heritage of jewelry and vintage silversmithing.  All pieces are made in-house at his own foundry out of sterling silver with many pieces having 18k yellow gold accents.  His detail and milgrain work is unlike anything we've ever seen and he's got some interesting twists on classic signet rings, band rings, pendants, and necklaces.  

The restocked Neff Goldsmith collection of jewelry is available now at all 5 of our stores and in our online store.

Kei Shigenaga - The Koryu Ring

The Kei Shigenaga Koryu ring is here. This is Kei's take on a "broken" (Japanese kintsugi inspired) narrow signet ring using 18k yellow gold to fill in the cracks. The Koryu may be the most complex ring Kei makes. These are not gold plated, this is a solid sterling silver ring finished by pouring liquid 18k gold into the cracks for the kintsugi effect. These are just beautiful, are finished with such high detail, and are super comfortable.

These rings go through countless hours of hand finishing and polishing to achieve the look and feel you'll see when you put this ring on. Pretty unreal attention to detail in both the shape and oxidation points of these rings. Available now at all 5 of our stores and online.

Whitesville Japanese Made T-Shirt 2-Packs & Sugar Cane 1947 and Hawaii

We've found that over the years one of our best selling blank t-shirts is Whitesville's Japanese made tees which come in 2-packs.  We can rarely keep these in stock so we've had them do a production run for Self Edge so we can be fully stocked across all stores.  These are now available again at all stores in black, gray, and white.

Along with the mega-Whitesville restock we've received fresh runs of the Sugar Cane 1947 and Hawaii jeans.  You can find these items now at all stores and online.

The Fine Creek Leathers Richmond Type I Jacket

Fine Creek's take on a Type I jacket made of horsehide is here!  The Richmond model is produced of a tea-core dyed 1.2mm custom Himeji horsehide and comes with a 100% cotton pigment dyed liner, great for all-climate wear.  Due to the slightly thinner leather compared to some of their other horsehide jackets the Richmond has a shorter break-in period and is comfortable even when new.  Check the product page for a full rundown of the specs on this jacket.

These are available now at all stores and online.  As with all Fine Creek releases there will not be a restock of this model.

The Flat Head is Back!

After an 18 month company restructuring Flat Head is back in business and will continue producing product starting this fall/winter season.  We have new production runs of the best wallet on the planet, aka the Wild Child cowhide and shell cordovan wallets, leather belts with forged steel buckles, shell cordovan folding wallets, leather bracelets, and sterling silver feather rings.  

We're happy we finally have these Wild Child wallets back in stock.  Over the years this has turned into the most sought after wallet we carry. They’re super functional, age like nothing else you’ve seen, and last a lifetime.  These are made of Shinki shell cordovan, cowhide, have an inner pigskin lining, and come with a sterling silver ring. 

Flat Head's heavy leather belts come with a custom forged nickel-plated steel buckle and are available in tan or black.  

The feather rings are made of .925 sterling silver and are hand finished.   These come in one size and can be (carefully) bent into your ring size for a perfect fit.  

We've also received some very nice Shinki shell cordovan folding wallets and their leather and sterling silver bracelets in all styles and colors. 

You can find all these items now at all stores and online.

The Rick Owens Made in Japan Collection - PERFORMA FW20

Introducing the Rick Owens Made in Japan denim collection from the PERFORMA FW20 season.  This Rick Owens collection is exclusive to Self Edge and is a continuation of the first capsule which was released in the fall of 2019 as part of the LARRY collection. 

As part of this capsule we have the Duke which is a new slim tapered fit which is available in a new overdyed denim and also in a black wax denim.  The straight leg Detroit model was remade in the black wax denim, which was quite popular last season, and we also have the Detroit in a traditional indigo/natural denim.  The magic is in the fits of these jeans, the Duke is a perfect slim tapered jean and the Detroit is easily one of the best fitting jeans we've ever carried at our stores.  

Next up we have the Worker Jacket which is Rick's take on a modified Type III denim jacket, this is done in a 13.75oz overdyed denim with hand pockets.  The overdyed process really make this jacket shine with the squared off pockets and stitch angles looking quite strong due to the DARK DUST constructional thread peaking through the black overdye.

Lastly we have the Outershirt, this is a black wax denim oversized shirt which can be worn as an overshirt or a denim jacket and comes with zippered inner pockets and traditional buttoned flap chest workshirt pockets.

Please check the product pages for lots of photos, specs, and more info.  All these items are available now at all stores and online.

Pure Blue Japan 16.5oz Slub Denim Jeans & Indigo Flannels

New Pure Blue Japan jeans are here! The SLB-013 model is made of a 16.5oz Japanese selvedge denim that is made with some short staple cotton mixed into the warp yarns for a slubby denim that’s perfectly balanced in look and feel. The denim has just enough character in the fabric that it’s an interesting denim when raw and sure to look wild as it fades and ages over time.

Also, Pure Blue Japan have done a run of their Shaggy Check brushed flannels in an indigo-dyed pattern that will fade over time with wear and washing, just like a pair of jeans would.

You can get these jeans, flannels, and a restock of some previously available jeans now at all of our stores and online.

Is the XL in the merino Stevenson thermals new this year?

I remember trying on the biggest size you had stocked during the moving party last winter & feeling like I’d need one size larger—in my memory it was an L that I tried & an XL that I thought I’d need, but maybe it was an XL that I tried? If the XL is new that’s gonna be a no-brainer

The XL size is not new, but we haven't had a size XL in stock in SF in a while, so you probably tried on a large.

[julian-wolf]

Thanks, gonna poke around at measurements some to try & confirm, but will hopefully be grabbing one

edit: @Broark, you were there & I think you tried on the same size as me—do you remember what size those were?

Yup I was there but I didn’t actually try on one of these unfortunately.
I’d love to pick one up too but I think they might be too small for me...

[julian-wolf]

Ah rats, don't know why I had that memory

I was talking to someone at the time who had tried one on and was similarly worried about sizing…

[Broark]

@julian-wolf it definitely could’ve been me, I recall this conversation and that I regretted not trying one on.
Looking at the measurements compared to the short sleeve Black Rhino thermal which I own in size XL, seems like I could maybe pull the merino one off?

The Fine Creek Shinki Horsehide Alonzo Jacket

We’ve got a hot one this week from Fine Creek. The Alonzo model is here and is made of what we believe to be the best horsehide in the world from Japan’s famed Shinki Hikaku tannery. This 1.3mm tea-core dyed horsehide feels and looks great when new and looks unbelievable when broken in. The Alonzo jacket has three zippered outer pockets and is cupro lined.

These are available now in limited numbers at all stores.
