The William Gibson x Buzz Rickson Winter Collection
The William Gibson x Buzz Rickson collection continues to be one of the labels which we're most proud of being able to carry at our stores. The collection is released once a year, every November, with most pieces being cold weather focused. This year Toyo announced that they've gone beyond the normal straight black military reproductions which the collection has been known for. There are now some original jackets that come in colors other than black.
First up we have a navy duffle coat made of an original 34oz melton wool which has been compressed then brushed making it warm and extremely soft. This jacket comes with linen rope and natural wood toggles, angled hand pockets, a removable neck-tab, and a hood. We never thought we'd carry a duffle coat but we never thought we'd find out this good.
Next up we have a black B-29 grosgrain fabric jacket with a 100% cotton grosgrain outer, a quilted rayon inner, and a sheep shearling collar. We love that the jacket has two hand pockets placed at an angle on top of the front storage pockets. The collar is wild soft and feels amazing against your skin, this as comfortable as you're going to get in a warm jacket.
Every year we try and order as many William Gibson MA-1 jackets as we can, it's never enough. We are one of the only ones outside of Japan to carry the "Slender (Long)" version of this jacket which comes with a tad extra length so that it can be worn with an untucked shirt underneath.
We've also received a restock of the ultimate black watch cap. Made of a soft thick woven wool with minimal William Gibson branding, this will serve you for many years and soften as it wears in.
All of these items are available now at all four Self Edge stores and in our online store. Check the online store for full spec lists, high-res photographs, and measurements.

The fit on this version of the William Gibson MA-1 is the best i've seen from any Japanese brand, it's not too short and the it's not baggy looking in the body and arms.

Mister Freedom Californian Jeans & "El Americano" Indigo-Dyed Jacket
Two new items are here from Mister Freedom's 2013 winter collection.
First up we have the newest iteration of his popular "Californian" jean series. This time made of Sugar Cane's '66 denim in a traditional mid-rise jean with a little taper below the knee; cut and sewn in the USA.
Next up we've got the piece we were most excited about from the new collection, the Indigo-Dyed Cord Jacket with a Troy blanket lining. This is a 14.5oz mid-wale corduroy which has been indigo vat-dyed, custom made for Mister Freedom by Sugar Cane. Jacket comes complete with carved corozo nut buttons, flared wrist cuffs, and adjustable side cinches.
Both of these items along with a full restock of all colors of blank Mister Freedom tees are available now at all stores and in our online store.

Introducing Japan's John Lofgren & Co. - T-Shirts, Caps, & Hats
It's not often we add a new brand to our roster as we feel that we'd rather go deeper into the brands we carry as opposed to carrying a smattering of products across a wide range of brands. There is a brand that we've been watching for years, a brand that has thus far mostly sold to the most die-hard vintage clothing connoisseurs. That brand is Japan's John Lofgren & Company.
We'd like to introduce this brand with a set of very special t-shirts, two watch caps, and two hats. The t-shirts are quite literally perfect, from the fabric to the fit they've nailed the classic striped tee. The A-4 watch caps are available in both black and olive with minimal interior Lofgren labeling. And lastly we have a reversible bucket cap and a black nelson cap.
We've got a lot of information on each of these items on their product pages, check the appropriate page for full spec lists and lots more information.

Kind of depends on your definition of "advertise," as Speedway and Lofgren do some online marketing.
