Patiently waiting for the jacket. I hope the shoulder measurement proves a little larger than the modified OD that is currently offered. Fingers crossed

Loved the interview. Favourite line "Motorcycles are fucking cool! Even if you’re scared of them, you can’t say motorcycles aren’t cool"

I agree Danny, that stuck out to me too. Over all it was a great interview and well rounded.

Roy "Big Bro" Natural Indigo-Dyed Denim Shirt
For the start of the new year we have Roy's third shirt release using the most exotic fabric thus far. This shirt is made of a natural indigo-dyed denim produced by Japan's famed Collect Mills which specializes in older dying techniques and using natural plant-based indigo dyes. The fabric's weight clocks in at 8oz per square yard, meaning it can also be used as an overshirt.
This new shirt has a more rugged feel and look to it compared to Roy's past shirts, much of that is attributed to the triple-stitched body, heavier fabric, and the simple solid aluminum cat's eye buttons.
One of the details we personally love is the busted selvedge seam up the back of the shirt, over time you'll have jean-like train tracks running up your back. Also, Roy has this wild machine that's able to do a stitch that melts our minds, it's meant to be an invisible hemming machine but to us it looks like a crazy fabric perforator. He's used this machine to hem the front placket of the shirt which also hides the button backs from your body when the shirt is worn. The gussetted side seams have two layers of fabric accenting the gusset, the denim for durability then the selvedge ID of the deadstock Cone selvedge chambray peaking out behind it for the natural selvedge accent.
This is a versatile shirt with an impressive shade of blue due to the natural indigo dye that's going to age well with regular wear and washings. We can't wait to see what these shirts look like after six or twelve months of wear.
This Roy shirt will go on sale at all Self Edge stores at noon (local time) on Saturday, February 1st. The shirt will also go on sale at 10am (PST) the same day in our online store. This shirt will not be remade or restocked, this is an edition of 80 shirts.
_Shirt is being modeled by Roy Slaper in an unwashed Medium size. Check the online store for a full spec list on the shirt, measurements, hi-res photos, and more. _

That's Roy

Kiya,
Could you tell me: how tight is the weave on the new IH collab? I know they're 20oz. raw, but am wondering if the 633 would be at all feasible as a summer jean. How do you expect these will breathe? The 21oz. 634s are doable for summer, but the 21/23 UHR obviously are not. Any thoughts?
Thanks. -

Thanks.This denim was produced for Self Edge, therefore nobody really has much experience with it. I'll be able to comment on it a bit more once it arrives and i can play around with it a bit more (soak, wear, wash..).

Here are some photos of details we didn't originally include for the new Roy natural indigo dyed denim shirt:

That denim and those buttons are killer.
Can I ask you, Kiya, how does the Lofgren A4 watchcap compare to the Buzz/William Gibson A4? I have used an olive Buzz cap, which was great, but am looking for a black. Looks like Lofgren vs. William Gibson. Which do you think is warmer? Most importantly, which will hold and return to its shape best? I have a big dome, and watchcaps lose a lot of their warmth when they get stretched out.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

This is a really hard one, i personally like the BR ones better but many customers who have come into the store to buy a BR one have left with the Lofgren one instead after seeing it in person. They say it's more "authentic" to the actual feel and look of the originals, which is not a surprise considering the length Lofgren goes to to produce his fabrics. In terms of warmth they should be of equal warmth as they're both made of a thick wool.

Thanks Kiya. Sounds like I can't go wrong either way.
Cheers
