Self Edge Zippo Vintage 1937 Repro Lighter - “Perfect Fit”

One of our favorite Zippo designs is their 1937 flip-top windproof lighter. They took the 1935 version and rounded the edges to make it more comfortable in your hand and added the iconic double slashes on two opposite corners. Their design engraved on the front is a nod to the fact that what is known today is a “coin pocket” was once known as a “watch pocket”.

For the first time in over 60 years, Cone Mills has produced an original loomstate unsanforized fabric for a client – Roy. Directed by Kellen Dengler, watch as the denim goes from cotton state to finished product. Roy denim is available locally in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles, or worldwide via the Self Edge online store.

Self Edge American Optical Modified Sunglasses

Self Edge, the boutique self-professed as the “ultimate denim source” online, also appreciates some of the finer accompaniments to a vintage pair of jeans. Like these slightly modified American Optical horn-rimmed sunglasses. Starting with dead stock AO frames, Self Edge first dyes, then sandblasts each frame to achieve a smooth, matte finish. Then, the original plastic lenses are replaced with a tinted, modern glass lens for maximum UV protection. The end result is a beautiful, unique, and modern update to one of AO’s most classic frames. Each frame ships with a custom Zip Stevensen leather case. Two frame colorways in very limited quantities are available — you can make your choice and pick up a pair at Self Edge.

Alden Boots X Leather Soul, Self Edge

Two smitten-worthy outfits come together to bring us this sleek, utilitarian boot. Denim purveyor Self Edge describes their niche in the world this way: “We don’t see a pair of jeans as just a pair of jeans. We see them as part of your life—something that ages with you and, like you, only becomes better with time.”

We couldn’t agree more, and, in the case of a quality piece of footwear, the same rules apply, which is something Leather Soul seems aware of by their own credo: “Aloha, our passion is for craftsmanship, style, the perfect fit and uncompromising service.”

One hundred pairs of the Alden boot were produced in each of two colors—black and Horween chromexcel (tan)—both bearing the telltale detail of a stitched mock toecap. You can pick them up starting February 18 at either Leather Sole location (Beverly Hills and Waikiki). In addition, Self Edge will be releasing an Iron Heart collaboration jean as part of the package.
