History
Self Edge opened three years ago in the Mission District of San Francisco with the vision of creating an otaku retail store dedicated to vintage style denim and workwear produced by the Japanese. A place to find all the brands that many have spent years reading about in Japanese magazines and across countless online forums and blogs. After three adventurous years between San Francisco and Japan we're proud to announce our expansion to New York City. We've chosen the Lower East Side as our New York City home because it very much reminds us of the Mission District of San Francisco, unique and full of life. Our New York City location will also offer chainstitch hemming services on our vintage Union Special Chainstitching machine free of charge on all jeans purchased from us and for $25 for all pre-owned jeans.
