Kudos to Andrew and Johan from 3sixteen.
I’m a huge fan of 3sixteen’s new stadium jacket, and I’m really impressed with its construction and versatility. Can’t wait to see the great things they’ll do in 2010.
My graduation gift recently snapped in two, but FabFour/Skull was able to replace it; my wrist finally feels normal again. I think this version is superior to Bape’s rendition.
Cotton Duck does a detailed look at Mister Freedom’s Mechanic Shirt; it’s chock full of photographs and little insights on various design elements of the garment.
Mister Freedom’s friends hall of fame has a polaroid of Cotton Duck and I from our trip to his studio in 2007.
When Self Edge first opened in 2007, I remember getting three items: Flat Head 3001’s, a Flat Head houndstooth shirt, and a Flat Head black chambray. In 2008, Self Edge had a display featuring my senior thesis at NYU; the display had mannequins wearing some of my clothes, including the black chambray shirt. After staying on display for a year, the clothing became completely sun bleached from the front, and here are the results.
One of the more interesting parts that came from this sun bleaching is the collar, pockets, and snaps; opening them reveals a stark contrast from the original color of the chambray.
Samuel’s new blog, Cotton Duck (which is also his moniker), details some pretty cool denim and denim related items. He recently posted up some photographs of his Flat Head mid-length wallet from Self Edge, and I must say it’s looking pretty well aged. It reminds me that I haven’t taken any shots of my mid-length wallet in quite some time. I’ll make a post with updates on it in the near future.
Update: Here is a comparison shot of our wallets from January 2008 when his was newly received.
Adrian Reimann has created a series of illustrations of characters from Masters of the Universe in a fashion-esque style. Pay attention to the Dior Homme, Imperial, Iron Heart, and Flat Head jeans (alongside April 77, Common Projects, and other Superfuture-approved brands).
I arrived in New York early Saturday morning to catch the opening party for Self Edge New York. I spent most of the weekend eating, drinking, and bowling with Mr. and Mrs. Self Edge and the 3Sixteen crew. Thank you to 3Sixteen and Self Edge for an amazing time. I’m looking forward to taking a longer visit at the end of August (where I’ll hopefully be eating a lot more food than I was physically capable of consuming this time around). A photo-ladened post after the jump.
