HAHA. mint. thats a funny word. HAHA.

[Anguished Irony]

38" inseam...is everybody making jeans for fucking sasquatches now?

[cheapmuthafukr]

i think mint is the new douchebag term for fresh, as in "my nudies are hella mint with the gun imprint on the back pocket, right next to the shit stain from when someone whos really tough stepped to me, brah"

shit...

I hope so. Its annoying when companies make only 32 or 33 inch inseams. Short people can hem their jeans, tall people can't add fabric

I think 45rpm chainstitches when you purchase them though

[old viking ring]

Is the size chart for pre or post wash size? Does anyone know?

[PG2G]

the one washes are exactly 2 inches smaller ine the waist than the raw, so I'd think its safe to assume that raw measurements are prewash.

Anyone know if these are any different than the normal Sorahikos? Just wondering why they are listed as Online Exclusives.

[Anguished Irony]

There are a lot of items listed as online exclusives...like the belts for instance. They are maybe only available online becuase they are new?

[eldave04]

Thanks for posting CMF

[cheapmuthafukr]

yr all welcome. ive decided its better to be helpful if youre gonna flame people.

shit...

[ddohnggo]

are these 'slim' sorahiko's any different in cut than the ones they sell in the store? are the sorahiko's all labeled 'slim'?

[Yet Fung]

Anybody know the leg opening size?

[ddohnggo]

off the top of my head, the black overdyed sorahikos i have are around 8.25-8.5" leg opening.

[greentea]

these arent that slim, i think 103s are slimmer.

[ddohnggo]

yup, they aren't.

[synthi]

Thanks for posting this but balls, they don't ship outside USA. Here's hoping the Paris branch has some goodies when I visit in the next few months.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

damn, just realized those bandanas are indigo-dyed with one selvage edge--------------but $60???

ugh!

gimme.

The bandanas. You need one. Two. The feel is beautiful, kind of rough, but a roughness you want around your neck. But the smell is what sold me. I'm telling you, that store seduces with the smell of fabric and dye. There's a selvedge edge visible on some of the women's skirts. Damn. This store. This store.

I don't think the smell you keep talking about is fabric and dye - it's Japanese incense. In fact, you can buy it in store and that way you can make your apartment smell "seductive" too...

I thought 45 rpm didn't do it raw. Why are they changing their stance now? Is G-Star giving them a run for thier money? Aside from the novelty of sheen, raw is a pain in the ass in terms of bleeding (yes I know how bad that sounds) and sizing.

I'm not too impressed with their current online offerings. Their nyc stores are 10x more intoxicating (a heady mixture of fabric, indigo, incense, and japan).

[Chicken]

why do I have a feeling G-Star had nothing to do with it?

Of course G-Star has nothing to do with it. Its just that rpm told me they didn't sell raw jeans for a variety of reasons. I'm just wondering what changed. I'll ask next time I'm in the store, as I'll need a pair of jeans hemmed in about a week.

from the 45rpm page:

"5-07-6508

Sorahiko 45 Slim - Raw $333.00 Online Exclusive

Raw denim is made for the die-hard denim fan.

These are our Sorahiko Slim denim before the fabric is pre-shrunk. This denim is completely unwashed and comes very stiff due to starching.

Shrinkage varies depending on the manufactured lot of denim, even when using the same thread and looms for weaving.

Approximate shrinkage, with a cold water machine wash and line drying, is 2 inches for the waist and 3 inches for the inseam, even more if washed in warm water or tumble-dried (not recommended).

For those people who choose not to wash their denim, please size down accordingly when placing your order.

Please refer to our denim & indigo care instructions page. 100% cotton."

they have been lurking here too. at least id like to think so.

shit...
