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

I've really enjoyed the BR cap. I would highly recommend, but I've never felt the Lofgren.

Flat Head Leather & Wool Varsity Jacket, Blank Heavyweight T-Shirts & More
Every year Flat Head produces a varsity jacket in limited numbers, these end up being some of the most collectible Flat Head pieces made. This year they've delivered the toughest looking one yet with black cowhide arms and a black woven wool body with a quilted red rayon liner. All the patches are Flat Head originals and the jacket comes with black anodized buttons and the front hand pockets even have snap enclosures now.
We've also received a full stock of their popular heavyweight t-shirts with triple-stitched collars in both black and white and their new 3012 straight tapered jean in their 14.5oz 3XXX denim.
All these items along with restocks of their heavy merino wool socks, cordovan card cases, all wallets, and rings are available now at all Self Edge stores and in our online store. Check the online store for more info, spec lists, and measurements.

I do too; but the Dry Bones jacket from this season is my favorite. That FH down is also in the rarified heights.
