if its gonna be slimmer than the last imperial collabo than i guess i'ma have to size up. not sure how thats gonna work though.

If your SExI04 fit perfectly, size up 2 for the SExI08. Of course, this is assuming that the measurements of the produced jean are the same as the planned measurements.

It's true, these have been delayed to September due to a bump in production.

Self Edge x Imperial = SEXI08

As our 8th collaboration we bring the SEXI08... An 18.5cm slim cut jean made of 15oz unsanforized denim.

We've moved the production of this jean to Japan, where normally Imperial's jeans are made in Australia. Moving the production to Japan enabled us to work closely with the factory and the mill that produced the denim. The outcome is a 15oz unsanforized right hand twill denim made in both indigo and black produced in Ibara, Japan. For those that always wanted an Imperial jean to fade like many of the other Japanese lines we carry with a high intensity fade and quite a bit of character, these are for you as they're sure to age well and fade over time due to the lack of processing the denim has gone through after the weaving process.

The leather tag and silkscreened pocket bag art are an homage to the Australian, Japanese, and American connection. Small rear pockets embroidered with dark indigo thread, chainstitched hems, a custom leather tag, and a silkscreened inner pocket bag round out the features on this custom collaboration between Self Edge and Australia's Imperial Clothing Company. The silhouette is a slim fitting 18.5cm cut with an inseam that shrinks to ~36". These are, quite possibly, the perfect slim fitting jean for us.

The SEXI08 jean will be released at Self Edge San Francisco & Self Edge New York at Noon (Local Time) on Saturday, September 5th.

The jeans will also be available online at 2pm (PST) the same day.

dope, especially the tag.

wish the inseam had been kept longer like the SExI04, though :(

It shrinks to 36.7" after a hot soak, that's quite long enough unless you're freakishly tall.

(We state that it shrinks to 36" in our press blast because it might shrink to about that after the third wash or so. Might.)

lol. they kinda look like the sexi04s but im still excited to get one

Besides the pocket stitching they have nothing in common..

Different denim, made in a different country, different cut, different leather tag, etc..
