Hey! While I can't claim to be an impartial source, I have a fair amount of experience wearing it! Let me know what you'd like to know specifically, but:
The wool used for the sweater is a burly 100% wool 4 end weave, as is standard for heavyweight knitwear from Dehen. Like all but the softest wool, when it is brand new, it can be slightly itchy on bare skin, but that subsides with some wear, plus it's likely you'll be wearing long sleeves under it most of the time anyways, because it is definitely a cold weather sweater. As far as fit, this sweater is definitely roomier in the body than a lot of tops at Self Edge…if you're looking for an ultra tailored fit in a cardigan, you'll need a prodigious gut for this to work for you! Some people consider the length on this to be ultra short, but it reminds me of the cropped, but still very natural length on vintage sweatshirts...this allows for it to be layered under a jacket without sticking too far out. I've got the large and it just peaks out of the bottom of my sz 40 Sonny's Vest.
Pocket placement was chosen with those who use lots of pockets in mind. The internal phone sized pocket is handy, and the melton wool lining on the hand pockets will be more durable than the stock Dehen lining if you carry things in your hand pockets. The hidden elbow patches seem like they'll really do their job extending the natural life of the garment before repair is needed! -
Bam! Strike Gold polo inbound. The hot summer is killing me this year.

Would love to get one. I think chest sizing would be an issue. Fit pic summ3rhays in SG thread please.

The Roy "Big Bro" Baja Red Chambray Short Sleeve
Roy is back with his first shirt in over a year. The "Big Bro" Baja shirt is a red selvedge Japanese chambray done up in a simple short sleeved shirt with small details here and there, as you would expect a shirt made by Roy Slaper. The fabric is a medium weight chambray that has a small pattern to the weave which becomes more apparent after the first wash.
One of the details we personally love is the busted selvedge seam up the back of the shirt, over time you'll have jean-like train tracks running up your back. Also, Roy has this wild machine that's able to do a stitch that melts our minds, it's meant to be an invisible hemming machine but to us it looks like a crazy fabric perforator. He's used this machine to hem the front placket of the shirt which also hides the button backs from your body when the shirt is worn. Also, the gussetted side seams are done up with a selvedge ID accent.
This Roy shirt will be released at noon (local time) on Saturday August 1st at all four Self Edge stores. It will also be released at 9am (PDT) on the same day via our online store.

Iron Heart 633s-II Indigo/Indigo Straight Tapered Jeans, Overdyed Snap Shirt, & Socks!
The 633s fit from Iron Heart has turned into one of our best selling jeans at Self Edge, it's a perfect straight leg jean with a heavy taper for a small let opening. We now offer the 633s fit in a new indigo warp and indigo weft 18oz denim which has been stitched together using tonal thread for a sleek dark indigo jean. These will age in a wild way considering what some of the indigo/indigo jeans we've seen in the past from Iron Heart look like after some months of wear.
Iron Heart excels at shirts which are made to be funcational and last a lifetime, they've come through as expected with a great new overdyed denim shirt with hand pockets. This is a 17oz indigo denim which has been garment dyed black, over time the black will wear off and reveal the indigo fabric underneath.
Along with the new 633s-II jean and the overdyed denim shirt we've received their heavy duty gray/black socks in a regular length, great for wearing with workboots.

Sugar Cane's Unsanforized Type II Denim Jacket
We've always loved Sugar Cane's version of the classic 1950's style Type II denim jacket. They've gotten the denim feel right, the stitching is perfect, the iron buttons are classicly reproduced, and deer skin patch ages just as well as the denim itself. Normally this jacket is available only in a one-wash version. If you want an unsanforized denim jacket to age well over time we recommend buying a raw non-wash version. The industrial washing and drying softens the denim to the point where aging over time will be less defined (this is even more true on a denim jacket where wear is harder to come by), therefore we recommend doing the water soak of the jacket at home. Sugar Cane has made a batch of these jackets exclusively for Self Edge in a non-wash raw version. We've also dropped the price nearly in half since the last time we stocked this jacket years ago.
Along with the Type II jacket we've received a full restock of all Sugar Cane jean models, cowhide leather belts, and Whitesville tees (tees are in-store only).

John Lofgren Natural Chromexcel Engineer Boots
John Lofgren has taken his wildly popular black engineer boot and done it up in a natural Horween Chromexcel leather. These things are going to look unreal once they're beat up looking. The leather shade combined with his perfect engineer details and shape create a truly unique and beautiful boot.
These are made in small numbers and we're not sure when or if restocks of this boot will take place.

Roy Cotton Duck "Foreman" Pants
Roy is back with a pair of selvedge cotton duck Foreman pants . New fit, new details, new everything on this one. The fabric is a 10.5oz sanforized black-line selvedge fiber-dyed cotton duck woven in North Carolina. The pocket bags are amazing, we haven't seen this fabric used before. They're made of a dobby loom woven cotton made by Cone Mills. The branding is on the inside of these pants printed on a Pima cotton tag. The fit is designed in such a way where it can be worn sized up or down depending on how you want the pant to fit without it looking too slim or sloppy.
This Roy pant will be released at noon (local time) on Saturday September 19th at all four Self Edge stores. It will also be released at 9am (PDT) on the same day via our online store.

Sugar Cane Type III Black Denim Slim Jeans
This is Sugar Cane's newest denim, developed in-house over the past year and seeing it's first use as a slim cut jean. They've used two different black yarns to create this fabric. The warp (top) is made of a sulfur dyed yarn and the weft (underside) is made of a reactive pigment dyed yarn. This means the warp will fade over time from black to gray to white after many wears yet the weft will stay black and only fade to a medium gray very slowly. Two different black yarns, one denim, living on the edge.
These are sure to age in an interesting manner over time, especially considering it's a black jean that started out unsanforized which is a rarity.
These new jeans along with a full restock of all Lone Wolf boots, leather belts, and jeans are available now at all Self Edge stores.

Strike Gold "Deep Indigo" Limited Jeans & Loopwheeled T-Shirts
Strike Gold had been working on a new 17oz denim that would create a particular indigo shade they had in mind. The mill produced a small run of the fabric for them which they were satisfied with, then shortly after when the production run started Strike Gold put a stop to the run because the shade didn't match the initial sample run. The mill stated they could not match that exact shade again unless they added pigment dye to the indigo bath. Strike Gold refused to do this as they wanted to stay with a 100% pure indigo dyed jean. These people are extremely particular about their denim. They decided against making a jean that wasn't exactly as they envisioned, so instead they produced only 175 pairs, which is all the initial denim run could be made into. The jean is cut into Strike Gold's slim tapered XXX9 fit and is availble only at Self Edge and at Strike Gold's own shop in Okayama, also, each jean comes with a Strike Gold tote bag.
Along with the new jean we've had Strike Gold make us a new run of their very popular blank loopwheeled tees, these are the ultimate loopwheeled t-shirt. The feel, fabric weight, stitching, and fit are top notch. They've also managed to make them up to XX-Large by putting a side seam on the largest size.
The jeans, tees, and a full restock of most Strike Gold jean models are available now at all Self Edge stores.
