Missed this one..

We've got these coming to all Self Edge stores so we'll have them in-store and online on release day, I believe we got a total of 40 across all of our stores. Excited to finally get these into the shops, the sample we saw in Paris last year looked amazing.

@T4920 said in Self Edge SF, NY, LA, PDX, MX, & ATX:

Just wanted to share that I absolutely love the way SE photograph their models/products.

Haven't purchased from y'all being UK based, but I always use your photos the gauge my interest in pieces, as the natural lighting really does the texture and subtle character of the garments justice.

Thank you so much, that truly means a lot. We spend a lot of time and effort to make sure our photos look a certain way, and messages like this make it worth it!

The last time I posted in this thread was 2009, better late than never I guess.... saw some Grand Seiko talk and had to come drop some photos in of a few models I own!

Austin location still a ‘GO’?

Yup, end of the year!

The Self Edge Bender's Lookbook

The calm solace one finds in a dimly lit dive bar is a feeling known well to many San Franciscans. The deep history of hiding out in a bar goes back over a century in San Francisco. Starting with the Gold Rush days as the capital of California’s lawless “Barbary Coast” to the Kerouac and Ginsberg hang-outs in North Beach in the 1950’s to the Tavern Guild organization of gay bar owners of the 1960’s; San Francisco has seen its fare share of social groups using bars as their home base.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With this lookbook we’ve put the spotlight on Benders Bar and the people who own and work there. Benders is where we’ve called our home base in San Francisco for two decades and which also happens to be around the corner from the first Self Edge on Valencia Street which we opened in 2006. Just a couple of businesses with distinct visions, aging somewhat gracefully.

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.

Introducing Eskhaton - Truly Hand Made Jewelry

We are launching a new genderless jewelry line this week named Eskhaton, meaning the period of time immediately before the world ends. The word is derived from “ἔσχατος”, meaning “last” in Ancient Greek. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This collection is designed, hand-made, and finished by a single person named Tristan Reynolds. Reynolds is a self-taught jewelry maker based in Melbourne, Australia. He normally does not sell to retailers as his work is generally by commission only so we’re quite appreciative of him working with us on this collection of pieces. Over the past couple of years he’s made some signature pieces which have been worn on runways, record covers, and in the press by Rick Owens, Arca, Jhene Aiko, FKA Twigs, Tyrone Dylan, and Michele Lamy. These were not stylist purchases, but personal purchases by these people who appreciate his work. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Everything Reynolds produces is literally hand-made, as in there are no molds, casts, or computer drawings used. All stones are ethically sourced, and if he cannot source a certain gem ethically he has it lab grown for the piece. Much of his inspiration stems from his fascination with the human form and the natural way we age (or as he puts he, decay) over time. You can find a limited selection of Eskhaton pieces now at all stores and online.

@kiya any ETA on a restock of the 633 SBG?

Yes, those are slated to be back in all stores in September!

NEW SUGAR CANE JEANS & WHITESVILLE T-SHIRTS!

A huge delivery from Sugar Cane, Buzz Rickson, and Whitesville just landed at all stores.

Sugar Cane’s new bootcut jeans are here. These are words you probably weren’t expecting to read today. We used to carry bootcut jeans from Sugar Cane, Iron Heart, and Imperial from 2006 to 2009; but over the years most Japanese brands phased out these models as demand for slimmer and tapered (then wider) jeans erased any interest in bootcut silhouettes. Sugar Cane seems to be the first Japanese brand to revisit this style with a completely reworked fit and a new pure-indigo dyed 14oz denim developed in-house and based off bootcut jeans from the early 1970’s, while the fit is inspired by silhouettes closer to the late 1970’s. I guess if you’re selling jeans for nearly 20 years then you’ll see styles you never thought would come back actually come back, and here we are, bootcut jeans, we have them again.

Sugar Cane Fiction & Romance Work Pants are also here. These are made of an 8oz indigo stripe fabric, woven on a shuttle loom, and inspired by vintage narrow-width textiles originally used for traditional Japanese clothing. Initially it appears to be a simple indigo-and-natural stripe fabric, but upon closer inspection, small white areas can be seen within the indigo base. These subtle white sections are created using kasuri yarns, which are carefully resist-dyed to produce a two-tone effect within a single thread.

We've also received USN chambray shirts and 1942 wide chinos from Buzz Rickson, a full restock of 100% cotton Sugar Cane jeans, and just in time for summer, pocket tees in two colors and plain 2-pack tees in four colors from Whitesville.

RICK OWENS SUMMER DENIM COLLECTION

An all new denim and all new fit from the new Rick Owens collection is here. The Kurdt model is made of a an interesting 12oz black denim which has a sulfur dyed warp and reactive dyed weft for maximum fading character. This jean is Rick's' take on a classic 501 straight leg style jean with a medium rise; definitely a future classic.

One of our favorite pieces from the new Rick Owens collection are the washed outershirts. These can be worn as a denim jacket or as a shirt worn over just a t-shirt. They have heavy duty zippered inner pockets and outer snap buttoned chest pockets making them quite functional too. This new version is made of a heavily washed 13oz indigo denim for zero break-in period.

Rick Owens Made in Japan cropped outershirts are also here, made of a 12oz black/black Japanese selvedge denim. These things are fucking awesome; they come with Japanese made YKK hardware and come with two large inner zippered pockets.

We also have Walrus t-shirts, made of an in-house developed 100% cotton heavy jersey and come in a dark orange color in addition to the Dark Dust version we received last month.
