John Lofgren's Made in Japan Champion Sneakers
John Lofgren footwear needs no introduction. In the span of a few short years, John Lofgren's engineer boots have become the gold standard for boot aficionados. Now he brings his footwear passion and love of vintage style to the classic sneaker.
Lofgren's new low top sneakers are, of course, fully hand-made in Japan. They're vulcanized at one of Japan's last remaining factories still committed to this process and made from 100% cotton woven in Japan. But it's only when you pick them up, or more importantly put them on your feet, that you'll find what truly sets them apart. Feel that extra heft, that extra cushion. Double soles, a feature rarely seen on sneakers now, make these some of the most comfortable sneaker available. And the bar keeps rising…taped seams, metal eyelets and vents, double stitched stress points, full sponge insoles, reinforced heel and toe cups. A new gold standard for the classic sneaker.

Flat Head Winter Shirts, Jackets, & Shell Cordovan Wallets
New Flat Head and Real Japan Blues shipments have arrived at all of our stores this week. We received a couple of new Flat Head and Real Japan Blues shirts. One is a snap buttoned flannel and the other is a wild woven then printed fabric.
This year's varsity is a stunner. The wool body and the lamb skin leather arms are the softest two materials we've felt on a varsity, or nearly any other garment. We're still trying to wrap our heads around how they were able to get both materials this soft. The varsity is also Thinsulate lined, so it's lightweight but warm.
We've also gotten in a Flat Head car club style jacket, slightly longer in the body and made of a wool outer and an original rayon lining.
Last up we've had Flat Head make us up a batch of their hand-sewn shell cordovan folding light wallets. These come in both black and dark tan and are pig-skin lined and include a stamped brass Flat Head branding plate.

The Good Art "Rocklock" Ring & Sterling Button Watch Caps
We just received a new ring from Good Art which is straight fire. Everytime we look at this thing our brain melts a little bit. Love the three dimensional look of the design combined with the heavy weight of the ring.
Along with the new Rocklock ring we've received woven cotton watchcaps which have a sterling silver Good Art button at the top of the cap. These are fluffy, soft, and woven in Oregon for Good Art.

3sixteen Heavyweight Hoodies, Indigo-Dyed T-Shirts, Shadow Selvedge Type III Jackets & Jean Restocks
3sixteen have just released a new (and updated) version of their black hoodie. This new version uses an even heavier custom woven cotton fleece and custom matte-black double-pull YKK zippers. The hoodie has a great fit and we don't think you can buy a better hoodie anywhere near this price.
Along with the hoodie we've received a restock of 3sixteen's indigo-dyed pocket t-shirts which come in a 2-pack. The first run of these sold out in a matter of days and we're happy to have them back in stock at our shops. These have a slim fit, short arms, and a small pocket and will fade and age over time with regular wear and washings just like a pair of jeans.
We were also able to get a small restock of the Shadow Selvedge and Double Black Type III denim jackets at our shops, the Shadow Selvedge is available in-store and online while the Double Black is available in-store only or via phone/email order.
Along with these items we've received full restocks of over 20 different models of 3sixteen and 3sixteen+'s jeans. These are available now at all of our stores.

Stevenson 714 Straight Tapered Jean & Chino/Jean Restocks
Stevenson now has the jean fit many of you have been waiting for, a straight leg jean with a small leg opening and a true medium rise. Made out of their popular loomstate 14.5oz Japanese selvedge denim and single-needle stitched throughout. This jean fits very well for a guy wanting a little extra space in the crotch and thigh area but wanting an overall slim look and a tapered leg.
Along with the new 714 jean we've received a full restock of their slim tapered 727 fit and chinos in olive, khaki, and navy. The chinos are amazing, seriously. We don't use the words "chinos" and "amazing" in the same sentence very often, but these are really good chinos with a true broadcloth fabric that's custom woven for Stevenson.
All these jeans and chinos are available now at all of our stores and in our online store.

Sugar Cane have updated their cowhide belts with a heavier leather and cleaner hand-finishing. These are available now in tan or black.
After the great response to Lone Wolf's Mechanic boots we decided to expand the line with their Sweeper Boots with a Christy Vibram Sole. These are dual-Goodyear welted and fully made in Japan.
Along with these new releases we've received a full restock of all of Sugar Cane's jean models including the newer "2009" and "2014" jeans.

Roy "Roy Tapered" Modified Jeans - RT1002
Roy Slaper is back with a fresh batch of jeans.
This new release is a modified version of the "Big Bro" BB1002 jean. This version of the jean comes with traditional (and more common) back pocket shapes and riveting techniques. The fit is slightly different from past iterations of the Big Bro model, check the measurements for exact differences. The fabric on these jeans is a 13.5oz loomstate denim which Roy designed from the ground up. Cone did not have or could not produce the selvedge id thread color so Roy had another company manufacture just the single thread that goes through the selvedge line and had the thread shipped to Cone to use on his denim.
The warp yarns are made of a conventional American cotton while the weft is made of Supima cotton giving the fill threads an off-white caste. Supima is a longer staple cotton so we're thinking it will be less prone to stretching out and knee bagging. The fabric for the pocket bags were also custom designed and produced for this jean. They're an undyed (natural) ring-ring 3x1 twill that is loomstate and will be cut in a way where it shrinks with the jean. The pocket bags are a 10oz 3x1 cotton twill which is 100% ring spun, undyed, and unsanforized.
We don't believe we've seen a denim with this much character come out of Cone Mills before, the weave pattern is very unique and so is the shade of indigo.
Check the product page for full measurements, a full spec list, more info, and high-res photographs.
These jeans will go on sale on Saturday, March 28th at Noon (local time) at all four Self Edge stores and will also go on sale at 10am (PDT) on the same day in our online store.
