Self Edge X Imperial = SExI14


For their 14th Collaboration project, Self Edge has teamed up again (for the third time!) with australia's Imperial Jeans. Yep after previously got quite successful with the SExI04 and SExI08, They are now releasing SExI14 (Self Edge X Imperial, the 14th Collaboration). Once again, Imperial is bringing their famous slim cut which combined with Self Edge's great source of Material.

Check out this fascinating details of the jeans :
15oz Raw Unsanforized RHT Japanese Selvedge Indigo Denim
15oz Raw Unsanforized RHT Japanese Selvedge Black Denim
Cotton from San Joaquin Valley, California
Un-calendered, Un-mercerized, & Un-singed Denim
Pure Indigo Dye
Denim woven in Kojima, Japan
Rolled Belt Loops
Hidden Rivets
Button-Fly
Chainstitched Hems
Screened Pocket Bag
18cm Cut
Made in Japan

"The denim has a very unique feel to it, it's abrasive at first but definitely not very rigid due to the lack of starch. The belt loops are rolled for sturdiness, the pack pockets are riveted, and the inside pocket bags are screened."





Self Edge collaborations with Imperial was always a hit, and i think this one will be great too. Same as the previous SExI collabs, SExI14 are available in 2 colour, the Raw Indigo and the Raw Black.
SExI14 is now available at Self Edge > Imperial for about US$ 360

*The SEXI14 & SEXI14BK jeans will be released at Self Edge San Francisco, Self Edge New York, and Self Edge Los Angeles at Noon (Local Time) on Saturday, December 11th.
The jeans will also be available online at 10am (PST) the same day in the online store.

SExI 08



Self Edge has just given us the preview to their latest collaboration with Imperial Brand. After they made a great success with SExI 04 before, no Self Edge has teamed up again with Imperial, making SExI 08 (SExI stands for Self Edge x Imperial). SExI 08 comes in a super slim cut (18.5cm cut) , with 15oz selvage denim and as usual, 39" inseam length.

here are the spec details for SExI 08 from Self Edge
Self Edge x Imperial = SEXI08
  • 15oz Raw Unsanforized RHT Japanese Selvedge Indigo Denim
  • Cotton from San Joaquin Valley, California
  • Un-calendered, Un-mercerized, & Un-singed Denim
  • Pure Indigo Dye
  • Denim Woven in Ibara, Japan
  • Chainstitched Hems
  • Screened Pocket Bag
  • 18.5cm Cut
  • Made in Japan


The Leather patch shows 3 different flags, which is Australian (Imperial is an Australian brand), and then Japan (because SExI08 are made in Japan, and the denim Material were woven in Japan) and the last is U.S.A. (cause the Cotton comes from California, U.S. of A.)


"We've moved the production of this jean to Japan, where normally Imperial's jeans are made in Australia. Moving the production to Japan enabled us to work closely with the factory and the mill that produced the denim. The outcome is 15oz unsanforized right hand twill denim made in both indigo and black produced in Ibara, Japan. For those that always wanted an Imperial jean to fade like many of the other Japanese lines we carry with a high intensity fade and quite a bit of character, these are for you as they're sure to age well and fade over time due to the lack of processing the denim has gone through after the weaving process.

The leather tag and silkscreened pocket bag art are an homage to the Australian, Japanese, and American connection. Small rear pockets embroidered with dark indigo thread, chainstitched hems, a custom leather tag, and a silkscreened inner pocket bag round out the features on this custom collaboration between Self Edge and Australia's Imperial Clothing Company. The silhouette is a slim fitting 18.5cm cut with an inseam that shrinks to ~36 inch. "
