FINE CREEK VIRGINIA BEACH HORSEHIDE TYPE II JACKET

Fine Creek Leather’s Virginia Beach Type II jacket is finally back in stock after being unavailable for over three years. This is our number one most client requested horsehide jacket from any brand we carry, and we’re excited to see that it’s available again. The way the front chest pleats pull and pucker with wear is truly a sight to behold. This comes in as a classic fit with just a hair of length added to the body.

Fine Creek makes some of the most beautiful horsehide jackets we've seen. Using a vegetable tanned Japanese Shinki horsehide, which ages in a fairly fast manner, they cut and sew these jackets in their own studio in Tokyo. 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.

INTRODUCING COLLECTION #2 FROM ESKHATON.

We are launching the second collection this week from a genderless jewelry line we launched last year 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.

Hi @kiya I’m just wondering if you’ll be restocking your larger 633 SBG 21oz sizes since there is some SBG production currently happening. Thanks

Yes, definitely, we should have a full restock of that jean this season!

Hi @kiya
Just wondering if you have an ETA on inbound SBG 633 & 888 restocks; thanks!

Yes, those are still slated to arrive this coming summer!

These are made of a Japanese milled 13oz light-shade denim and finished with all the classic Mister Freedom Lot 54 details, which are far too many to list here. Best to check our product page for a long list of all the details this jean contains, it’s quite impressive. We’ve had our run lightly rinsed to make sizing easier due to the unsanforized denim.

Glad everyone likes the denim so much. Truly I think it's one of the most interesting denim styles we've carried from any brand, and that's after nearly 20 years of selling quite a few styles of Japanese denim...

I wanted a denim which would encapsulate all the denim styles created by Iron Heart over the years. The heft of the 21oz, the character of the SLB denim, the saturation of the Vintage denim, and the light hairiness of the UHR. We went through a few samples of different textiles to get to this one, once the samples were finished we knew we liked it but it wasn't until I had been wearing a pair of the jeans for 2 months that I realized "shit, this could be one of the best denim styles we've ever had". The way it feels, the vintage rug-like waviness to it, and the way the electric blue starts to peak out after just a few weeks of wear. It's perfect, and we're happy to say there is some denim left so we will try to do some more CPO shirts if all goes as planned for early next year (without the W on the chest, that says on the first run).

NEW MERZ B. SCHWANEN LOOPWHEELED T-SHIRTS & RESTOCKS

A massive delivery from everyone's favorite loopwheeled basics brand just landed at all six of our stores.

We have restocks AND new colors of loophweeled tees in all weights and fits including pique style, the 215, and the super duper heavy 2S14. We also have new colors and restocks of their very nice summer-weight hemp fiber blend tees.

We've also received new pocket tee versions of their mid-century tubular knit tees and new loopwheeled underwear styles in various colors.

@jimcord said in Self Edge x Iron Heart SEXIH25 Release Party - Los Angeles:

And I have to post one more thing, I would be remiss if I didn’t thank Demitra and Kiya for opening up one of their “homes” and throwing such a lovely party last night. It was a pleasure meeting both of you, and now you gave me one more reason to wanna go visit Mexico!:)

Thank you so much. Last night was amazing for us too, really felt like a reunion having everyone from both the Japan and UK crews together. We got really nostalgic for the early days and a reminder that we started all this 20 years ago!

THE SELF EDGE X IRON HEART COLLABORATION & LOS ANGELES RELEASE PARTY

We're happy to announce that we're finally ready to release a collaboration we've been working on for (literally) five years. New fabric development in Japan has slowed down quite a bit over the years, and after quite a lot of back and forth, we've developed a new denim which we think is quite nice. With this new 19oz denim we looked at all the denim styles ever created by Iron Heart and tried to produce something which encapsulated a little bit from each denim they've produced, from their 14oz all the way up to their 25oz denim.

We were so impressed with the denim we thought it would only be right to do all the "greatest hits" in indigo and overdyed versions. We have the 633 straight tapered jean, the 301 slim tapered jean, a CPO shirt, and a modified Type III jacket; all produced in indigo and overdyed versions. We’ve also produced a graphic pocket t-shirt and a set of stickers to round out the collection. You can now check our online store for specs, measurements, and fit photos for all 9 garments. All items are being released Saturday May 31st at all Self Edge stores and online at 9am PST the same day.

We're having a release party at Self Edge Los Angeles on May 31st from 6pm to 10pm with the full Iron Heart UK and Japan teams in attendance, hope some of you can make it!

@RandomlyHunting said in Self Edge x Iron Heart SEXIH25 Release Party - Los Angeles:

@kiya I plan on coming up tomorrow for the event, but since online sales begin at 9am, I'm concerned certain item/size combinations might sell out by the time the event starts at 6pm. Do you recommend purchasing the item online in the morning, and then picking it up in person later that night? Or will there be enough stock reserved for the event? Just want to make sure not to miss out.

There will be stock held for in-store sales across all our retail locations, but we open at noon so I cannot guarantee what will be left by the time the party starts Saturday night.

@SonnyTheElder said in SEXIH25-TIII - Self Edge x Iron Heart 19oz Denim Modified Type III Jacket:

@kiya Curious around the reason why you folks generally carry IH tops up to 3X, and only OD fabrics go up to 4X. I'm guessing it's to account for the "shrinkage" that occurs in OD fabrics but as a larger fellow, having more options in 4X would be appreciated.

Yup, that's correct. It's insurance against a run of OD shirts or jackets running very small due to the shrinkage which takes place during the overdye process.
We do carry some IH tops up to XXXXL if we feel like it's going to be a popular item, otherwise most tops stop at XXXL.
