Strike Gold had been working on a new 17oz denim that would create a particular indigo shade they had in mind.  The mill produced a small run of the fabric for them which they were satisfied with, then shortly after when the production run started Strike Gold put a stop to the run because the shade didn't match the initial sample run.  The mill stated they could not match that exact shade again unless they added pigment dye to the indigo bath.  Strike Gold refused to do this as they wanted to stay with a 100% pure indigo dyed jean.  These people are extremely particular about their denim.  They decided against making a jean that wasn't exactly as they envisioned, so instead they produced only 175 pairs, which is all the initial denim run could be made into.  The jean is cut into Strike Gold's slim tapered XXX9 fit and is available only at Self Edge and at Strike Gold's own shop in Okayama, also, each jean comes with a Strike Gold tote bag.  

Along with the new jean we've had Strike Gold make us a new run of their very popular blank loopwheeled tees, these are the ultimate loopwheeled t-shirt.  The feel, fabric weight, stitching, and fit are top notch.  They've also managed to make them up to XX-Large by putting a side seam on the largest size.  

The jeans, tees, and a full restock of most Strike Gold jean models are available now at all Self Edge stores.
