Self Edge has dropped new Sugar Cane jeans, their “1966 Jean” , that are great Jackpot pants, time-travel perfect repros of 1966 501’s. The denim itself is an exact match!

If you're a nerd, like me, then raw denim can be as fun to explore as tailoring. Check out shops such as @selfedge (my favorite), @blueowlworkshop, @BlueinGreenSoho, @StandardStrange, Division Road, @OkayamaDenim, @tateandyokoshop, @dutildenimshop, and @rivetandhide.

As the cost of vintage jeans went up, people started to make new jeans using these old methods. That's where you get shops such as @selfedge (my favorite denim store). You may ask, "how can jeans cost $300+?" It's because these are made in small batches using niche methods.

Some of the crimes I've seen in San Francisco:
- tan shoes worn with dark suits
- worsted suit jackets worn as sport coats
- oxford shoes worn with casual outfits
- dress sneakers
- "business backpacks"
- Patagonia vests with dress shirt and chinos

In today’s newsletter, I linked up with @andrew3sixteen from @3sixteen to talk about the return of raw denim and how to get back into the game in 2023. Plus, a walk down memory lane as I revisit the first time I discovered raw denim in my teenage years—

bought a $300 leather belt from Self Edge in 2007 and I was kind of annoyed that it was expensive but figured at least it was made well
I’ve worn it most days since, and I just realized there’s nothing wrong with it after 15 years
Very rare that anything is made that sturdy – at San Francisco, CA

Only in Japan: a self-service used clothing store, open 24 hours, 365 days a year, with no staff and no front door.
Immaculately clean, with clothes meticulously organized by color and size. You take whatever you want and pay using a machine. Even has a fitting room!

i’m officially beginning the world’s longest album rollout. my album, “Of Purple,” will drop on November 8, 2031. I will finish it by November 8 this year and put it on a harddrive and bury it. I just need to find a spot that will be undisturbed for a decade.

One of my favorite stores, @selfedge, just released this tee of their stocked brands’ logotypes as redesigned by Greek designer Vassilis Georgiou. Vassilis’ take on the logos was inspired by American underground culture of the 60’s.
