Part of the “Speed-Safe Clothing for Modern Riders” collection, Mister Freedom releases a pair of Rider’s Dungarees made of a beautiful left hand twill denim. These Dungaress’ features include - 14 oz. “SC 301″ indigo selvedge denim, cotton and sugar cane fibers, left hand twill, guaranteed to beautify with proper wear and an all original MFSC pattern, with a late 1950’s silhouette, mid-rise. Available at Self Edge both in-store and on-line.
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 owner Kiya Babzani put together this video introduction to their new location in New York. Directed by Kellen Dengler, Babzani discusses the sort of brands you’ll find there and the reasoning behind New York as the second location.

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.
