Hey Kiya. Any advice on socks? Don't really know what to go for.

Yes, 100% get yourself some of these:

Iron Heart Heavyweight Socks - Medium Cut

These are the sturdiest socks we sell. Super comfortable and designed and built to last. The fabric and fit went through many iterations until they came to this final product, perfect for wearing with boots or sneakers.

Hands down the best socks I've tried. They're super comfortable, just the right amount of padding, last forever, never lose their shape, and they come in all colors.

Thanks. I got a pair of these years ago and I remember them being super tight. Like cutting off circulation tight. Not sure if you have the same experience or they loosen up or what.

The line will be in all 6 of our stores September 1st and will be online around the same date!

Honestly we've sold a ton of these and I've never heard of this happening. Unless you're sensitive to snug socks or have large lower legs, I don't think it would be an issue. With that said, these ARE a bit tighter than your average pair of socks.

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.

Picked up a pair of IH socks from SELA. Extremely comfortable. Different than I remember them.

Any recs on t-shirts? I really like the fit of General Quarters Basic Crew and Mister Freedom Skivvy. I tried on the 3sixteen tees and they were pretty good but a bit boxy. Maybe they mold to your body over time? Looking for something mid or light weight. It gets hot here in SoCal. Thanks.

Glad you like the Iron Heart socks!
About t-shirts, if you like those two tees I highly suggest checking out the 215 series from Merz:

Search - 215

They come in many colors and if you like the GC and MF tees I think you'll really like the 215 model from Merz.

Shoutout to Zack and Zane for the great help with my new IH 633s last week at SENY. Quick turnaround too on the hemming.

Also, the Left Hand Twill Flat Head denim is beautiful to the touch. May need to go back for that...

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.
