Bags & wallets are produced by world-renowned manufacturer Porter Japan in conjunction w/ BR & WG in very limited quantities. Fabric is heavy-duty USAF 3/1 super-tight, water-repellant nylon twill used for the original classic 1957 Lion Uniform USAF MA-1 flying jacket now famously reproduced by BR, thus the bag is extremely durable and can be dry cleaned if soiled and brought back to new condition easily, owing to the inherent properties of 3/1 nylon twill, which is made exclusively by BR on vintage machinery. The snaps are anodized brass mil. spec. reproduced by Buzz Rickson.  These are available in both black and sage green.  All pieces are available at Self Edge.

Complex Magazine interviewed local Denim purveyors, Kiya Babzani and  Demitra Georgopoulos of Self Edge to get the mass population educated on the whole raw denim movement.  Great read that you can check out HERE.

For Self Edge’s 8th collaboration they bring the SEXI08, a 18.5cm slim cut jean made of 15oz unsanforized denim.  They’ve moved the production of this jean to Japan, where normally Imperial’s jeans are made in Australia. Moving the production to Japan enabled us to work closely with the factory and the mill that produced the denim. The outcome is a 15oz unsanforized right hand twill denim made in both indigo and black produced in Ibara, Japan. For those that always wanted an Imperial jean to fade like many of the other Japanese lines we carry with a high intensity fade and quite a bit of character, these are for you as they’re sure to age well and fade over time due to the lack of processing the denim has gone through after the weaving process.

Self Edge opened three years ago in the Mission District of San Francisco with the vision of creating an otaku retail store dedicated to vintage style denim and workwear produced by the Japanese.  After three adventurous years between San Francisco and Japan they’re proud to announce the expansion to New York City.  The new location is in the Lower East Side and it will be offering most of the same brands as Self Edge San Francisco and within a few weeks adding Joe McCoy’s and Ande Whall to both stores.

Self Edge New York will be opening on July 24th with an opening party to follow in August. New unreleased stock and restocks of popular items will be available at SENY including a Self Edge New York exclusive hand-screened bandanna by Mister Freedom himself, Christophe Loiron.
