Self Edge has teamed up with Dry Bones and Superfuture to produce this year’s Superfuture Contest Jeans. If you are not familiar with the concept, denim lovers on the Supertalk forum hold yearly contests where the contestants are to wear the same pair of jeans every day for a set duration of time, usually between 12 to 24 months, for the love of fades. This year, the users of Superfuture were involved in the process of creating this collaborative jean- giving inputs on styling, fit, cut and accents via the forum, and creating a truly unique product. The SEXDBXS09 Contest Jean will be released on the Self Edge online store under the Dry Bones brand at 8:30am (PST) on Saturday February 28th. Read on for more details and pictures.

The SEXDBXS09 jean has been produced by Dry Bones, one of Japan’s longest running vintage Americana style denim manufacturers. Months were spent getting the denim exactly where we wanted it and the denim was woven for this project; as the denim has never before been used on another garment nobody knows exactly how it will age. Self Edge has chosen a denim with a little more weight than the classic styles, at 16oz it’s got heft to it, and with massive amounts of character showing from the warp and weft it’s sure to age well. The fit is that of a straight leg jean, slightly slimmed down, with a button fly and a long inseam which can be hemmed to the wearer’s length without altering the silhouette. The denim has been calendered and singed, yet hasn’t lost any character which is instantly recognizable even at a quick glance. Rounded out with hidden rivets, cowhide leather tag, Superfuture dual-tone “Rep Bar” stitch, military grade green rear pocket linings, coin pocket selvedge, and a cotton poly-core stitch; this jean is exactly what we want to be seen in.
