Look nice, how do u like the cut?

[Swych]

oh i posted the pics to try to show you ugys the colour. it really is quite unique. seems like black trousers in the dark, but very obviously a blue on a sunny day.

the cut is just a standard sorahiko (not the nyc slim sorahiko). I'm 5' 7'' and wear my jeans about 3 1/2 '' below my belly button. The cut I like best is actually RRDS, even over my S5000vx and Sorahiko slims but yeah, I'd say these are my 2nd fave. Slim, but not tight in any spot.

[ishboo]

they look interesting, and i want to seem them in brighter/different lighting

[poly800rock]

how did you get 5 pictures on there????

[Swych]

poly800rock: eh imagevenue.com is great

ishboo: i'll get some when its actually sunny

[poly800rock]

post better pics of the fit, these look great!

[Swych]

they're just sorahiko pics and i'll post more pics up

unfortunately, a tragedy happened to my nando nandos this weekend (ah poor baby). On a drunken Saturday night i stole a bike (well picked up a bike) to go joy riding with some friends and later discovered there was wet paint on it (white paint). I'll post more pics up soon (the flash on my camera somehow broke that same night), but anyone know how to get industrial white paint off?!?! RIP nando nandos =(

[poly800rock]

sounds like expensive karma

[Swych]

yeah man dont cross indian philosophy.

ps. i returned the bike too cos i was busted riding it. so yes, bad karma. i'll post pics up anyhow cos hte fit is unaffected. they're not even broken in yet tho so they stlil have the awkward square bum thing going on

[Michael Hunt]

that colour is absolutly delishious.

i think you're fine...i wouldn't bury them. Looking at it from a pessimistic point of view the jeans may be disfigured, but i like to think of the flip side: Now it's got character, that paint is a sign that the jeans have been owned by you and only you. It's like the jeans having a story to them, i like clothes with history.

[poly800rock]

i think it depends what kind of paint stain, if its a huge paint stain on the ass in the shape of a bike seat....i might consider tossing, unless you're trying to fool people in the 45rpmXevisu shit

so do i, but wearing clothes with "too much" history is another thing altogether...

i'm with poly - if it's a huge stain the shape of a seat, it's time to put the jeans away. don't throw them, though.

[Guest Phrost]

Are these jeans selvage?

[poly800rock]

does 45rpm make non selvedge denim?

Ronson or Zippo lighter fluid will probably get it out. You could also use acetone or just about any other solvent. Be careful though, because you will probably get some color loss.

[adsurgo]

who the hell leaves bikes covered in wet paint lying around?

whatever... im sure it cant be too bad.

[Kasper]

does 45rpm make non selvedge denim?

i thinkthey had (or still have) a model in japan that was cheaper than the sorahikos and that wasn't selvedge. i remember a member talking about it, but i can't seem to find the thread...

[PG2G]

does 45rpm make non selvedge denim?

I think they have a cheap non selvage jean in Japan, don't sell them in the states though

[Swych]

Are these jeans selvage?

the selvage is sexy. is a red line that contrasts very will to the almost black jeans.

yeah, i'm trying to sort it out, thx for the solvent tip.

[poly800rock]

any updates?

[Swych]

they died after the white paint job

what a costly night. Considering finding myself a new pair because they were so sweet. Whats more, my camera is broken too now so i cant 'even take new pics of the damage.

[vinz]

I just got my pair today, the girl helping us remembered us from our first visit. Got a free calender too. I'll take some pics when I fly home, in a week or so.

[Fuuma]

does 45rpm make non selvedge denim?

Yeah they made a somewhat summery (light) non-selvedge model but I don't remember the name.

[vinz]

they have a slim fit women's jean that is non selvage, It's about $180. My girlfriend tried a pair on. It's also in the nando x nando color.

[Chicken]

their kazehikos are non-selvage. basically i think it's like:

jomon or aihiko ---> sorahiko ---> kazehiko

from higher to lower end. the nando x nandos are a version of the sorahikos, as well as the suminandos.

[xcoldricex]

correct, except

jomon > aihiko

aihiko doesn't use the same denim as the jomon, although both are died with natural indigo. and the aihiko's are basically discontinued. another version of the aihiko is the "vintage ai" which is a special distressed version of the aihiko.

[PG2G]

where does the umii fit?
