Self Edge New York

Very helpful finding me the right jeans for my build. They were also very nice in hemming my Momotaro jeans which I had purchased in another city. Definitely worth a revisit

Great service knowledgeable staff exceptional product

Bought a couple tee's staff were very helpful in informing me the tee's I wanted might run small and even gave me better options for my built ! But What they didn't know is that Ive done my research. So I came knowing exactly what I want and couldn't be more happier with my purchase! If your looking for quality tee's that feels real nice around the body this is it!! I got the ( whitesville knitting t-shirts ) and gotta say quality superb!
Go in knowing is a little pricey
"But worth it in my opinion.

High end denim and basics. Very knowledgeable staff. When you're ready to upgrade to the good stuff check it out.

Polite and knowledgeable staff. Many hard to find brands and some cool collaborations exclusive to their store.

Great shopping experience. Andrew was friendly, personable and very knowlegable.

Brought a pair of raw denim jeans straight from the store to be hemmed. The turnaround was fast (2 days) but I'm not thrilled with the work. The chain-stitch looks like it was not done around the entire leg, thread is already coming out and the inner seam was not aligned before the stitch was done. I was recommended by the store to go to Self Edge because of the quality of their chain stitch, but I'm not impressed.

Nice denim shop in NYC. They carry most of high end Japanese denim + 3sixteen line ups. I think its good to browse through details of denims you want online and try on different sizes at the shop. They also hem denims using vintage machine.

Insane denim collection, beautiful jewelry, superb textiles

This is literally the most amazing destination to go to score high-end Japanese denim and menswear on the entire East Coast. It's a Mecca for denimheads. I came to Self Edge to try on several Iron Heart type 3 jackets, and came away with the beautiful IHJ-82, indigo dyed corduroy type 3.

Besides the beautiful wood accents and antique Persian rug on the floor, the store is no-frills and all about the merchandise. For a Japanese denim enthusiast, this place is like heaven. A must-see place. I was able to check out so many different jackets and different pieces (in different weights of denim) today, something you can never achieve shopping online.

I am as white trash as it gets and I didn't find the staff to be upity or elitist in any way. And I think the other negative reviews are ignorant of what this store is selling. The store does not set the prices of the items here... the companies that make the pieces do. There is a reason the stuff here is expensive, it is made by ultra-skilled craftspeople in Japan on antique pre-WW2 looms and sewing machines. They are not mass-produced in sweat shops in 3rd-world counties and are very limited in production. There are typically fewer than 100 pieces of a particular garment in THE ENTIRE WORLD.

And then, these pieces here are skillfully curated by, the Japanese raw denim expert and icon Kiya Babzani.

I highly recommend a trip here if you are looking for a new pair of jeans... finding the right fit can be tricky and often the sizes are very different than American brands. I recommend looking at their website first and bring your favorite best fitting pair of jeans with you so they can be measured and compared to what is in the store.

I had such an excellent time here today and I love my new jacket! Thanks so very much!

Edit: also no place that does denim alterations or repair will accept unwashed jeans to be hemmed or repaired. They must be machine washed. So all the negative reviews about their policy in that regard are unfair.
