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

[kiya]

that's the first pair of women's jeans on here that i've actually though, "maybe that'll work for my girl"... you have any measurements for those? and what's the price tag like? my girl's best fitting jeans are her black gap skinnies. i'm really looking for something that'll fit like those but have some decent quality to them. we just got her some levis online that look horrible, so no more jeans from them...

The Sling & Stones jeans go for $260 a pair, $350 for the selvedge ones..

the slim ones are quite slim, similar to a slim kim below the thigh, but with a little more room on top.. they run a size big, so i normally suggest people size way down in them.. like a size or two if you're used to Japanese denim. If you're used to Gap denim then get the same size or maybe one size down if you want a super tight fit.

here are the non selvage raw's ($260)

what about retailers of the guy's stuff?

[Guest jeffvyain]

i don't know a thing about girls' sizes. she's got a size 1 in the gaps. i'm sure these sling & stones go by waist size. thanks for such a detailed response, kiya

Where is the promised online store?!

[Dick Danger]

Late December............I think that's now.

no kidding..i'm getting impatient!

[sidneylo]

I've been home in SF for over a week now, and I'm too lazy to go visit. I'm going to change that tomorrow. Since the online store ain't up I guess I'll physically take myself there...

[Ahlvahroe]

i swear to god i have ocd, ever since the 15th of this month i have been checking the site like 5,6,7 times a day to see if its open.

[kiya]

guys... honestly, the online store is pretty much ready. we're waiting for our Imperial shipment. once that arrives next week we're launching the site offering imperial, then adding a new brand every 10 days or so.. Iron Heart, Homeroom, Sugarcane, Flat Head, etc.. in that order.

free insured worldwide shipping, orders ship same day, etc..

[headcoat]

We should have place bets on who opens their online store first - denim bar or self edge.

[ayn]

I've been checking the Self Edge front page like 4 times a day, I just saw that their online store is now open with Imperials and Sugarcane Okinawas and Union Stars!!

woohooo

.........

[sexualharrasmentpanda]

crashed already...

[Dick Danger]

works for me

[vivaloschet]

Sorry to crash the party, but $ 265 for the Sugar Cane Union Star? Did I read that right? Are the prices on Sugar Cane this insane because History Pres. is acting as wholesaler and north amer. rep? What gives?

[Dick Danger]

What gives is simple. Really. The price is the price, if it bothers you don't buy them.

[PG2G]

Are the prices on Sugar Cane this insane because History Pres. is acting as wholesaler and north amer. rep? What gives?

Yes. Just like the Okinawas are $300 (same as they were at BiG and at HP).

[vivaloschet]

It doesn't bother me at all, I just don't understand why anyone would pay 265 dollars for something they can have shipped from Japan for about 100 dollars less. I guess that 100 dollars is the tax for being too stupid to figure out how to sign up on Rakuten.

[Guest jeffvyain]

there's a difference between stupidity and laziness

[toufu]

there's a difference between stupidity and laziness

quoted for truth

can't understand japanese & too much of a hassle on my part

[knucks]

yayyy@@@@@

[vivaloschet]

yeah, the repeated build up and promotion as well as the fact that it was supposed to be up three months ago makes the current offering of rather anti-climactic. Hopefully now that it is up and running there will be frequent updates of new products.

[sexualharrasmentpanda]

that and the fact that everything on there is already available online elsewhere...

[knucks]

yup. i was excited for SelfEdge's online site when it was first promised, now meh.

[vivaloschet]

there's a difference between stupidity and laziness

Sometimes there is a difference, but, as I will clearly explain, in this instance there isn't. Assuming that the savings by using rakuten is $100 and the extra time it takes to sign up for the service is 15 minutes (roughly how long it took me) and assuming no other costs, then it is simple to determine whether the issue is laziness or stupidity.

If our hypothetical jeanshopper is employed and makes a sum greater than or equal to $100 every 15 minutes, or $400 every hour, then it may be explained as laziness: he would gain nothing by spending those extra 15 minutes, and if he makes more than $100 /15 min. he is actually losing money by signing up with rakuten. If, and this is the more likely scenario, our hypothetical jean shopper earns less than $100 every 15 minutes, then it is stupidity, because he will have to work more than 15 minutes--the very sort of extra work that the truly lazy abhor--to make up that $100.

Obviously, this math will be different for the indepentally wealthy, those on a fixed income, and welfare cheats, but it should apply to most everyone else.

[tays]

Is it just me or is there something off about the guy modeling the jeans??

[ayn]

Assuming you're in the States, you would be able to get them faster from SE, and if you need to exchange for a difference size it would be easier and cheaper... If you can figure out the right size and fit and cut by reading the charts on the Japanese site, more power to you, and you should order them from Japan.
