When I went to San Francisco last fall, I knew I'd go to
Self Edge. I spent my first full day wandering around the city, taking Caltrain to BART, and wandering the mission, while my wife attended various work functions in Palo Alto, which seemed to be a city worth missing. After a nice breakfast sandwich and coffee from
Bar Tartine, I wandered over to Self Edge. Before going, I had a pretty solid idea that I was going to look at the
3Sixteen jeans, and due to my strangely over-large calves, I'd be looking at their slim straight cut. Likewise, for whatever reason, I knew - I KNEW - that I was going to pick up a pair in black.
I was half right.
Once I saw the
Shadow Selvedge, I knew that was what I was going to get. With indigo dyed warp threads, and black dyed weft threads, initially they have a very dark, almost formal denim look, if such a thing is possible. But as they wear, they get fantastic, almost electric contrasts. With the cognac leather patch, they are definitely worth picking up.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my post-purchase libation celebration, recommended by Kiya -
Zeitgiest. Go there and enjoy yourself.
