BONCOURA LOOPWHEELED FLEECE HOODIES & INDIGO JEANS 

Insanely nice loopwheeled zip-up hoodies from Boncoura are here. These things are heavy, soft, and built like no other loopwheeled sweater we’ve ever carried. They’re that good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

These Boncoura hoodies are made of a custom developed 20.5oz loopwheeled fleece.  One of their standout features is the hood, designed with a unique structure that naturally stands upright when worn. This thoughtful design keeps the neckline clean and adds a refined touch to an otherwise casual basic hoodie. The silhouette offers just the right amount of room, maintaining a relaxed fit without looking sloppy.  The loopwheel fleece fabric crafted by BONCOURA is made using vintage loopwheel knitting machines. These machines operate slowly and gently, placing minimal stress on the yarn to preserve its natural softness and texture. This meticulous process results in a fabric that is soft, smooth, and full of character, offering a rich and refined hand feel. By avoiding undue tension on the yarn, the fabric retains its shape over years of wear and preserves its unique texture, even after repeated washing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Boncoura's loopwheeled fleece fabric is densely knitted while incorporating air into its structure, a distinctive characteristic of loopwheel knitting. This combination creates exceptional insulation, keeping you warm in colder seasons while delivering unparalleled comfort with its plush feel.  This fleece fabric becomes increasingly supple and develops a unique patina the more it is worn, offering a personal aging process.

We also have fresh production runs of Boncoura's two most popular jeans, the XX straight leg and '66 slighty tapered leg jean.

NEW STEVENSON OVERALL CO. COLLECTION 

A new collection from Stevenson Overall Co. is here. 

First up, their Absolutely Amazing merino wool thermal shirts are back, available in new colors, and now available up to size XXXL! Anyone who's been following Self Edge for a while knows that this is one of the top ten things we've ever carried, and we have Stevenson Overall make them for us every year or two in new colors. These are made of a Japanese spun certified mulesing-free fine merino wool, they’re extremely soft and can be worn in both cold and somewhat warm climates due to the natural temperature regulating properties of merino wool. 

We also have crew neck sweaters featuring a vivid Nordic pattern, combining a chunky texture with a versatile silhouette. The wool used is spun to be lightweight and air-filled, aka Lofty High-Loft Wool, providing high insulation. Each strand has an air layer, offering both warmth and a unique, vibrant texture. 

With the Maverick jacket SOC have reimagined the third generation of the denim jacket; this unique design features front pleats for mobility and flap pockets. The front yoke line forms a subtle V-shape toward the center and is complemented by the shape of the pockets. The jacket is made of an original SOC developed sanforized (but raw) 14.5oz selvedge denim, is rope-dyed with slub yarns, and woven on vintage shuttle looms. 

We also have new Cody shirts and restocks of previous versions, Encinitas jeans in indigo and black, and their Athletic socks in three colors.

NEW SAMURAI JEANS, CHINOS, AND BAKER PANTS 

We've just received the new Samurai S3100VX jean in a relaxed straight fit from the World War II era, made of their famed 17oz Zero+ denim. The silhouette is a new one based on their WWII model S3000VX, with a slightly longer rise and a slightly wider top block. The buttons are newly created to mimic the color of "shakudo" metal with a well-worn black finish, which has been used for weapons and ornaments in Japan since ancient times. As the buttons age over time the luster settles and a beautiful patina starts to appear, and the pocket bags are made of 8 oz. slub yarn denim which is heavier duty compared to conventional pocket bag materials.

We also have 19oz Kiwami denim jeans in a slim tapered fit, 15oz selvedge chino cloth pants, their very popular Baker pants in both olive and black, and striped athletic socks in two colors.
