This is called stacking, not sagging

Sorry to prolong this absurdity, but did you read to the end of the last paragraph that you quoted?

It's impossible to prove this one way or the other, but you're repeating it as though it's an established fact.

 

Great post, I am glad to hear that they are higher rise and potentially fuller cut. And Bagley, thanks for pointing out the "stacking" phenomenon. I learned something today. Down the road I might look at picking up some of the jeans in this thread if they are in fact fuller cut. I still have several pairs of 7AM and AG's that need tailoring....plus the brutal heat here in Houston=no jeans for a while, but it is good to know that there is a solid company specializing in quality selvidge jeans.

another thing about the stacking, at least for me, is the fact that it draws attention away from the fact I have skis for feet. Without all that denim around my ankles I would look ridiculous with a pair of slim cut jeans and a pair of derbies or whatever, my feet are just that long, so the extra length affords a little balance.

by the way, if you pm Kiya (self edge owner), or call any of the se stores, they are super knowledgeable with recommending cuts that work for you. Sugar Cane comes to mind if you like a fuller cut.

Self Edge x Field Trip x Flat Head Loopwheeled T-Shirt & More

We've just received a large shipment at all three stores from Flat Head and Real Japan Blues including a collaborative t-shirt between Self Edge, Field Trip, and Flat Head.

Field Trip World Is Max Bode, James Farsetta, and Jeremy Povolny. Max is an artist and former art director of The New Yorker magazine, James is a design and type specialist, and Jeremy is an illustrator and the founder of The Nursery -- an animation studio. All three decided to form as a creative entity, working with a number of clients across the globe including NASA, MTV, Toyota, Redbull, Self Edge, Miss Lily's, Okayplayer, Mad Decent, The New Yorker, The New York Times, Frank 151, and Vice Magazine to name a few. We're happy to have Field Trip design us a New York themed motorcycle tee printed on a Flat Head loopwheeled tee. Flat Head used a type of printing process which yields a thick print that cracks over time like a vintage t-shirt.

Along with these new t-shirts we've received a full restock of every Flat Head leather and silver item including all their belts, bracelets, rings, wallets, Wild Child wallets, sneakers, and even some t-shirts and short sleeve shirts. Along with those items we've gotten in a full restock of all Flat Head and RJB socks and jeans currently in production.

All these items from Flat Head and RJB are available now at all three Self Edge stores, check the online store for more photos, measurements, and spec lists.

Saw Andrew's tweet about some new 3sixteen+ jeans (https://twitter.com/andrew3sixteen/status/230004351404494850). When will those be available at the shop?

Those are available now at all three Self Edge stores and in our online store:
http://www.selfedge.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=714

Did those ^ just go up $25 in price, or is my head in the wrong place?

All 3sixteen+ made in Japan jeans will be $325 from now on, the reason the other models aren't that much is because they're from the original run where as any new model as it comes into stock will be $325.

Coming this week to all stores... Himel Brothers Leather for Self Edge. Two styles, two leathers.

that leather jacket looks dope

Introducing Himel Brothers Leather Horsehide Jackets

After six years of looking for the right leather jacket collection we're proud to announce the addition of a horsehide leather jacket collection at Self Edge. We bring you Himel Brothers Leather.

David Himel's passion for leather jackets grew out of a vintage clothing business that was started in 1993. The beginnings of the internet and the desire to accumulate knowledge as to which garments had value lead him to research furiously every detail of construction, heritage, and the history behind each rare piece he found. It was only after the publication of Rin Tanaka’s book Motorcycle Jackets: A Century of Design did he realize that he had been the source of so many of the jackets in the book. It was that book that metamorphosed David Himel from seller to collector and researcher of leather jackets. David's own family history had been sportswear manufacturing in the 1930s until the 1960s. Himel Brothers Leather is an homage to his grandfather and his two brothers.

David contacted the oldest schemata men left alive in his family and picked their brains on company histories, sewing techniques, and designs to understand how to make the perfect leather jacket. By working with some of the most talented and knowledgeable people in the business Himel Brothers was born out of sweat and research. David tracked down the finest and most authentic hides from the best of the best tanneries globally, sourced the finest replica zippers and accumulated old stock parts over several years. David drew upon his collections of the rarest designs and tailored each pattern by hand, making each jacket one by one using 1930s bench made techniques. The Himel Brothers Leather team are some of the finest leather craftspeople in the business and they pride themselves on trying to be the best of the best as garment makers. David Himel has sourced original machinery and parts and where none were available, found the most authentic new materials to each period of jacket. Himel Brothers believes everybody deserves to have “One Good Thing”!

We have two styles which are designed and produced exclusively for Self Edge. Both of these styles are made of horsehide and are made in extremely small numbers, one jacket at a time, with the leather even being tanned and cured exclusively for the jacket by the top tannery in the world, Japan's Shinki Leather Tannery.

Visit our online store and view the product pages which list full specifications on both jackets including measurements and hi-res photos.
