Globe Specs x Free & Easy and Globe Specs x Beauty & Youth 2013 Eyewear Collection
From the eyewear line that brought us our favorite frames of 2012…
Globe Specs has just delivered a new set of frames for 2013, one of which is a collaboration with Japan's Free & Easy.We have four new frames, all of which are 100% made in Japan. The steel, acetates, and hinges are all made in Japan with the frames being hand shaped and polished in the end for the perfect feel and fit. The detail on the Free & Easy frame is amazing, especially how the acetate gives way to the steel part way down the temple. The Beauty & Youth frames are made of steel structured acetate with cast silver accents near the hinges, they're classic yet different from other frames on the market. Tetsuya Okada continues to impress us with his ability to design and produce eyewear in Japan.
The three Beauty & Youth frames come with a zippered rip-stop nylon MA-1 jacket inspired case complete with pen slips and a safety orange inner lining. The Free & Easy frames come in a custom hard snap case stamped with the Rugged Museum's logo (Free & Easy's concept space in Tokyo).
All four of these frames are available now at all four Self Edge stores and in our online store, check the product pages for full spec lists and high-res images.

Mister Freedom Blank T-Shirts - Made in California
A couple of months ago we received a small batch of blank white tees from Mister Freedom, they were gone within a week of us receiving them. We've gotten a restock of those white tees along with two new colors which we think are going to be a future staple at Self Edge.
These tees are made of 100% US grown cotton which has been loomed in the US on tubular knitting machines (no side seams). The tees are then cut and sewn in California and have a vintage style fit with sleeves fitting a bit shorter than usual and a boxy fit throughout. These also have a narrow neck-band, like the ones found on tees from the 40's and 50's.
These tees are now available in white, sage green, and navy blue. The white tees come unwashed and shrink down to size, the sage green and navy blue ones have been rinsed during the dying process and do not shrink much at all. Mister Freedom nailed the shade of green and blue on the colored ones, they're beautiful and sure to age well over time.
All three of these tees are available now at all four Self Edge stores and in our online store. Check the online store for high-res photos, measurements, and a full spec list.

If it's unlined that will be a tough choice between the modified TypeIII and the Leftie Trucker, both dropping around the same time.
It's unlined, body length is a bit longer than usual so that you can wear it with untucked tees/shirts and it has hand pockets.
