Cool Hunting
As an homage to Jules Dassin, the blacklisted and recently-deceased director of the 1960 film Pote Tin Kyriaki (Never on Sunday), Self Edge's newest concept shirt is a reproduction of the same shirt the protaganist, Homer, wears towards the end of the narrative.
Made of 9-oz black denim from Cone Denim's White Oak collection out of North Carolina, the western style shirt features vintage deadstock buttons, hand stitched button holes and alternating blue and white button holes on the cuff to represent Greece. (The movie was filmed in Piraeus Greece in 1958.) Pocket flaps incorporated in the pattern add subtle detail finished off with button accents. All in all, it's a great everyday shirt.
Made and sold in San Francisco at the Self Edge shop, Never On Sunday is also available from their online store for $190.

Choosing to do things right and develop their own t-shirt fabric from scratch, combining clever slogans and quirky graphics has...
Although it's snowing today, the first day of Spring, in NYC, while looking for a versatile pair of shorts I found these Swiss-made Acronym Etaproof Tec Sys Shorts which might be all I need for the coming summer months. Acronym's consistent high attention to detail (technical and otherwise) is what made us fans in the first place and this short is no different. Although...
