Self Edge SF, NY, LA, PDX, MX, & ATX

They look fantastic, I am still in complete awe that Roy is pretty much a one-man operation :). One of these days I'll have to purchase something from the line…

$360 for his new jeans at 11oz?! Yikes… Glad I got the 04 series.
The fabric cost was about the same for this jean as any of his last 4 jeans but with this new release each jean takes 25% more time to produce due to the intricate cinch integration with the yoke and the way the fly/crotch area is taped.
-
Love the cinch back and yellow seashell stitching.
-
I like the rivets and the taped fly. Always such interesting details with Roy's products.

if you are near any Self Edge store please do your self a favor & stop in to inspect the goods. Incredible store, smart helpful staff.

I have had some life changing events take place inside of SESF. The guys there are not just staff. On one of my first trips in there I spent a few hours chatting to Gino about life, the universe, and everything else. Have never experienced anything but the utmost respect from everyone there.
-
Same goes with SENY for me. Only been there twice in 2 years and Tomas actually remembered who i was a year later after our first meeting! (and i live nowhere near NY lol) He was very helpful during both my visits and i look forward to visiting again one day

If you don't mind spending all your rent money. Haha. Self-restraint is so difficult there, but I love SELA and can't wait to visit the Portland store.

yeah i didn't want to gush on about the staff but i've never had a bad experience with the people who are a part of the self edge movement. from the owners to the dudes like tomas that literally grind all day slinging denim & premium goods to a customer base that may have internet knowledge of what they are looking at/for then when they see the goods their minds are blown & everything they thought they knew goes out the window. smart & helpful & just a pleasure to spend your money with.
they need to give workshops on the hiring process cause they have the best staff & i've never visited any other kind of shop where the folks on the floor have so much knowledge about the goods being pushed. . . .
random but i'm about to be on a dry bones oxford binge. . . .

Also- the Self Edge store in NYC smells like shit. Seriously. So disappointed by that. I mean, they have what I wanted and Aman (I think that's his name) was helpful, but it fucking STUNK TO HIGH HELL.
Only time I've been there the dork behind the counter was being a huge dick. Another dude that works there tried to get in a friend of mine's face because their price for jean repair was more expensive than what they had on their website so he changed his mind after the dude wrote up a quote (I guess he was mad he wrote it up for nothing?). Worst store.
I also had a bad experience at Self Edge in Portland. Came in prepared to drop a grip on jeans & chinos, was ignored by the staff, not cool enough for jeans dudes I guess.
From another forum… SE came up and well not everyone was too happy about it... :-\

has never been my experience. i come to find the internet is a weird place full of bizarro folks that may be the most timid in the real world & when they get on line they come alive & feel wronged and persecuted by everyone for everything. not saying that's the case with the above comments, but i've never had a experience where i thought some one did something out of line & then went home & typed really hard on my keyboard about it. not saying these folks didn't have valid experiences, just that i tend to look at the source of the information as much as the information

For the record, all of New York City smells like Piss and shit
-
wrong, it smells like sh!t & piss, have to get the order correct.
-
I can't take anyone who says "prepared to drop a grip" seriously.
And I've never thought NYC especially smelled like shit, just urine and hot garbage. But maybe I haven't been to the good spots.

I've only had good experience with the staff at SENY. I've bought a couple pairs of jeans there and they were super helpful with getting the fit that I wanted. And I've had some repairs done too, which they always undercharged me for. Great shop. I wish I had more money to shop there more often. My only complaint would be that they don't stock enough IH stuff!

From urban dictionary
3. grip
$10,000. Named so due to the size of the wad of bills. Unlike a "stack" which is how 10 $100 bills are put together (in a stack), a grip is 10 stacks, only way to hold it is to grip it because its all rolled up.
"Walk around like I got a grip in my pants, yea thats about 10 stacks…" -Young Jeezy
