Why are you taking a picture next to a manikin look alike Kiya.

I figured it was a cardboard cutout. Sounds like you got some great stuff. Would love to see the RJB pair.

For sure I'll post pics. They are being hemmed so it will be next week.

Kiya's even cuter with a beard!

Took advantage of my SF trip to stop by Self Edge for the first time. I went in thinking of all the stuff I could try on. TFH & MF and after feeling the fabric in person I went with what impressed me the most.
Picked up the Sugar Cane fiction and romance snap. A great shirt I've overlooked 100 times.
Also grabbed RJB jeans which fit perfectly and felt amazing.
I would have grabbed the MF chambray that Kiya is wearing, but the wife vetoed. For now
Thanks for changing your plans and coming in on Saturday instead of Friday, it was great meeting you and your wife. Hope you do great today at the marathon!
Kiya's even cuter with a beard!
And shinier than ever, need to ask Junior for some head powder advice.

Thanks Kiya. The race was a success. Plenty of pics in the a What are you doing today thread.

Sugar Cane's 11oz Summer-Weight Jean, Mister Freedom's Patrol Chambray Shirt, & Iron Heart's Glen Check Printed Chambray
Sugar Cane has released its first new jean model in three years, the new "2013" 11oz summer-weight jean. This is a rinsed selvedge rope-dyed denim made of a combination of American and Zimbabwe cotton for a soft hand-feel and a vintage look. These come in a fit that is between a straight and a slim cut jean. With the popularity of the 2009 jean from Sugar Cane we're sure the 2013 will be a future classic.
Mister Freedom just hit us with the hottest chambray in years. This one is made in Japan with a specially designed medium weight chambray, maple brown corozo nut buttons, and olive green stitching throughout. It really is the perfect chambray shirt for us, and the way the placket meets the selvedge ID near the bottom of the shirt is a type of genius that only Mister Freedom can offer.
Lastly we have a new Glen Check printed chambray shirt from Iron Heart. This shirt starts off as a gray chambray that is then printed with a fine glen check pattern with a fugitive dye that comes off with regular wear and washings. It's a rugged shirt that's going to look great over time.

I tried on the MF Chambray over the weekend and should have bought it then. Thank god for online shop to help with restraint remorse.

Flat Head Spring Collection of Flannels, Wallets, & More
We've just received this season's first shipment from Flat Head.
Leave it to Flat Head to produce the nicest spring weight flannel shirt ever, available in three colors and perfect for all seasons. They've taken the pattern used on their heavyweight winter flannels and produced a lightweight slack woven flannel that breathes very well and is still soft to the touch without the brushed interior (which reduces breathability).
We're going all in with Flat Head's leather accessories and jackets over this next year, and we've just received their new beautiful horsehide bi-fold wallets. Fully hand sewn in Nagano (Japan) using the best horsehide from Japan's famed Shinki tannery. These wallets will last you a lifetime and will age and darken with regular wear.
We've also received a full restock of leather bracelets, key hooks, all jean models, leather belts, blank t-shirts in white and black, heavy merino socks, and solid leather wallet chains in tan and black.

I'm a 40 in FH stuff, and pretty much between a small and medium in iron heart. If you're also a small in mister freedom, sugar cane, buzz, etc…. Go 38
-
loving the flannels. ive never tried a fh shirt before, so trying to get the sizing correct. im a "normal" size small, would a sz 40 fit? or perhaps 38 would be more fitting. judging by the measurements they (40) look quite similar to a small in ih - except the shoulders.
I'm a Small in Mister Freedom and Iron Heart and a 40 in all Flat Head shirts. I think the 40 would be good for you. The 38 would be smaller than a IH Small because the 38 would measure about 38" in the chest where as the IH small measures around 40". Also the FH shirts run shorter in the body than IH shirts so i believe the 40 would be good.

3sixteen+ Natural Pima Cotton Slim Tapered Jeans & Darn-It!'s Special Tie-Dyed Edition
We'd like to interrupt the usual dark, heavy, selvedge denim news with something a little different. We're releasing our first non black or indigo jean. 3sixteen+ has released a new skinny fit jean for women in a natural un-dyed and unbleached Cone Mills pima cotton denim in their 77BSP fit. This jean starts out off-white and will age as it darkens naturally. The jean can be bleached or washed to get it back to its original state, or you can wear it until it looks like a mechanic's smock.
We've then taken ten pairs of the 577BSP jean and had Rain Delisle, Darn-It!'s master tailor, tie-dye them in various colors in San Francisco. Each jean was dyed individually using Procion MX colors to create its own pattern and color so no two pairs are alike. These are limited to ten pairs and available via email, phone order, or in-store at SESF for $295 a pair.
Check the online store for a full spec list, high-res photos, and measurements for the 577BSP jean.

Iron Heart Jeans, Jackets, Vests, & More
We've just received a large restock of the popular 301s jean from Iron Heart which now has a visible selvedge outseam. We worked with Iron Heart to tweak the way the outer leg is cut to preserve the selvedge edge of the fabric while maintaining the slim tapered fit the 301s is known for. The product page has been updated with the new measurements to reflect this.
We've also received a full restock of the Beatle Buster jean, the 634s, 461, and 9634z jeans. Along with all these jeans we've received Iron Heart's Type III jacket, rider's jackets in both indigo and Super Black, and Super Black denim vests.
All these jeans are available now at all four Self Edge stores and in our online store, check the appropriate product pages for more info, measurements, and high-res photographs.

Roy's new jeans are Kinda Special.
Roy Slaper is back to making jeans and we think he's created his best fitting jean yet. It's between a slim and straight cut with some taper to the leg using a new 13.75oz loomstate Cone White Oak denim that was developed exclusively for Roy. The denim has a nice heft to it and the fit is just perfect. The fabric's fibers really come alive after the initial soak with a little bit of hairiness which goes away after a week or two of wear. With a denim this rigid we're sure to see some wild worn in pairs later this year with a higher contrast wear pattern than his last lighter weight jean release.
Roy is modeling the Kinda Special (KS1001) jean in the photos after being soaked, hemmed, and worn for four weeks. Keep in mind that he sized up one from his true size for a roomier fit. If worn true to size the jean will fit a little slimmer than shown in the photos, yet due to the cut of the upper block it's a jean that can easily be sized up or down for a slimmer or roomier fit without looking sloppy or too snug.
**These jeans will go on sale at Noon (local time) at all four Self Edge stores on Saturday, May 10th and at 10am (PDT) in our online store on the same day. **
Check the product page for full measurements, a full spec list, more info, and high-res photographs.
