CRISTINA SPIRIDAKIS, COSTUME DESIGNER FROM THE BEAR
We caught up with Cristina Spiridakis in Athens, Greece. Cristina is the costume designer who purchased white t-shirts from Self Edge 3 years ago and put Carmy (aka, Jeremy Allen White) from The Bear in them for the pilot episode, three seasons in and Carmy is still wearing the same t-shirts in every episode. Not just any plain white t-shirt, one that created such an internet frenzy that we believe it changed the public perception of a white t-shirt for the first time since Marlon Brando wore one in A Streetcar Named Desire in 1951. Cristina’s t-shirt choice created years of endless “What t-shirt is Carmy wearing in The Bear?” news articles, hundreds of memes, online searches for the tee across reddit/forums/discords, a wild sales boom for nearly all high-end blank white t-shirts, endless brands cashed in by using Carmy’s image to sell white tees, and lastly, a newfound mainstream respect for a blank white t-shirt. The humble white t-shirt thanks you Cristina.
For those who were unaware of all this until now.. Carmy from The Bear wears a Merz B. Schwanen 215 loopwheeled t-shirt and a Whitesville Japanese t-shirt from their 2-pack series. Other characters in The Bear may or may not be seen wearing Strike Gold t-shirts.

@kiya Saw an interview with Jeremy Allan White where he was asked about the t-shirt that he wears,and while he didn’t mention any brand names he did say that all his shirts had been tailored to fit him.
Yup, they were all hemmed between 1cm and 3cm in length and one of the tees the sleeves were tightened very slightly.

Self Edge Records - William Gibson
Next up in our Self Edge Records series we have the one and only, William Gibson. Speculative writer William Gibson's selection of tracks focus on story telling and imagery that hits you "like really good prose fiction".
William Gibson is a pioneering science fiction author best known for his 1984 novel Neuromancer, which introduced the concept of "cyberspace" and laid the foundation for the cyberpunk genre. His work often explores the intersection of technology, dystopia, and human consciousness, making him a visionary in speculative fiction.

3SIXTEEN FRENCH WORK JACKETS, ITALIAN MADE SUNGLASSES, & GARMENT DYED POCKET TEES
Get your autumn fit right with 3sixteen’s new washed indigo moleskin French work jacket. This is 3sixteen's take on the classic European three-pocket work jacket. These have a rounded collar as found on the vintage version, come with three exterior pockets and a single interior pocket, and are made of a pure indigo dyed Japanese moleskin that's been rinsed. An absolutely beautiful take on a classic.
3sixteen’s first fully custom eyewear collection is here. The crew really put a massive amount of work into these sunglasses; from the subtle branding, to the colors and shapes, to the packaging, they really made sure to offer a very 3sixteen product through and through, and it shows. We’re happy to offer two different models, both made in Italy of handcrafted bio-circular acetate and finished with 5 barrel riveted hinges and green 100% UV protecting lenses.
Lastly... 3sixteen Garment-Dyed T-Shirts, now available in Plum and Smoke as part of their new collection.

THE FINE CREEK SHINKI HORSEHIDE MARIANA JACKET
The Mariana jacket from Fine Creek is back. This model is made of a Shinki Tannery vegetable tanned tea-core dyed 1.5mm horsehide custom made to Fine Creek’s specifications and is 100% cotton gabardine lined, perfect for year-round wear.
Fine Creek makes some of the most beautiful horsehide jackets we've seen. These are made using a vegetable tanned Japanese horsehide from Japan's famed Shinki Tannery, which ages in a fairly fast manner, and dyed using a "tea core" style method. The quality of stitching is as good as it gets for a leather jacket, and we've not seen many jackets age as well as these do. Depending on the panel they'll use a different type of stitch thread and thread count to achieve puckering in certain areas for added character. You can find these jackets now in limited numbers at all stores.
