I've been looking at the William Gibson A-2s over the last 2 years over at Rakuten. So I jumped at the chance to finally try this on at SE and meet this BEAST in person.
Leather is thick, has a nice black sheen to it and will definitely soften up and become one with the owner. Also like the snap buttons to hold the collar in place. Price tag is serious but this is one of those lifetime jackets. The silhouette has been trimmed down, which is a welcome change to the typical boxy A-2 cut. For reference, I'm IH Large and a 40 fits slim (good with short sleeve shirt). Recommend sizing up 1 for layering.

3sixteen's Heavyweight Shadow Selvedge Jeans
We have a new version of a very popular denim from 3sixteen. They've taken their Shadow Selvedge denim, which is an indigo warp and black weft, and upped the weight to 17oz.
3sixteen's new heavy weight version of their famous Shadow Selvedge denim is going to be a future classic. They didn't just increase the weight, the denim is now a little more abrasive to the touch, meaning the contrast and aging characteristics are sure to be more pronounced with regular wear over time.
This new denim is available now in both their straight leg and slim taper fits.

Self Edge 2015 Lookbook - Between The Lines featuring Bobby Lee, Nick Youssef, Dean Delray, & Kevin Christy
Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Sam Kinison, Jim Carry, Roseanne Barr, & David Letterman all have one thing in common. These comics got their start working at a club called The Comedy Store on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Opened in 1972 by Mitzi Shore (Pauly Shore's mother), the Store became the gold standard for a club which hosted the highest level of talent combined with a business that nurtured stand-up comedy as a true art form. Nowhere could you drop in any night of the week and see such painfully honest truths being spewed upon its unready guests like you would at The Comedy Store. This was real art, in a form which was both powerful and dangerous, coming to life all around the world, with its home at Mitzi Shore's club on Sunset Blvd.
The Self Edge "Between The Lines" lookbook follows Bobby Lee, Nick Youssef, Dean Delray, and Kevin Christy into the crevices of The Comedy Store. These four comics, with a combined 48 years in the industry, are the ones carrying the spirit of this art form. We have them here in their natural environment and wearing their own clothing from Self Edge.

Roy "Big Brother" Round Two Jeans
Roy Slaper is back at it with a new jean made of a newly developed denim.
The new version of the Big Brother jean is a tweaked Big Bro fit with slightly more taper to the leg. Also, this version of the Big Bro has a plain back (no buckle-back).
The denim on these jeans is an all new 13.5oz loomstate denim which Roy designed from the ground up. Cone did not have or could not produce the selvedge id thread color so Roy had another company manufacture just the single thread that goes through the selvedge line and had the thread shipped to Cone to use on his denim. The warp yarns are made of a conventional American cotton while the weft is made of Supima cotton giving the fill threads an off-white caste. Supima is a longer staple cotton so we're thinking it will be less prone to stretching out and knee bagging.
The fabric for the pocket bags were also custom designed and produced for this jean. They're an undyed (natural) ring-ring 3x1 twill that is loomstate and will be cut in a way where it shrinks with the jean. The pocket bags are a 10oz 3x1 cotton twill which is 100% ring spun, undyed, and unsanforized.
We're really in love with the rear pocket shape, the exposed 2-prong tack and washer rivets, and the fabric. We don't believe we've seen a denim with this much character come out of Cone Mills before, the weave pattern is very unique and so is the shade of indigo.
**These jeans will go on sale at Noon (local time) at all four Self Edge stores on Saturday, January 10th and at 9am (PST) in our online store on the same day. **

Iron Heart 18oz Indigo/Indigo Denim Jeans
Iron Heart has just hit us with a new denim, an 18oz Japanese selvedge denim where both the warp and weft are indigo dyed. This creates a super dark blue jean which will have some fairly wild looking fading due to the indigo saturated look of the denim. This new denim is available in both a straight leg and slim cut fit.
Along with these new jeans we've received a full restock of all other Iron Hearts jeans currently in production including the 301s slim tapered jean, the 633s straight tapered jean, 9634 straight leg super black, and of course their entire selection of denim jackets and vests.
