[ayn]

ok, that makes sense now... I should probably stop researching on the nando x nando's...

i think you have enough on your plate right now...

partytaco disagrees, but i still swear that the nando nando's are cut slimmer than the regular sohkiro's

[john11f]

poly are you getting a nando as well? do you have sorahikos? what's diff?

[poly800rock]

I think (not completly sure though) the Nandos are based on the new (slimmer) Sorahiko cut, which could explain why they're slimmer than some other, older Sorahikos.

i meant the nando nando's seemed slimmer than the sorahiko slims....i'm probably wrong though...nando's def fit better

[zelah]

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 =(

woah wait

was the bike ALL white? what city do you live in, were there any flowers on/near the bike?

cause if you stole a 'ghost bike', i'm glad you ruined your jeans. well, you shouldnt steal bikes period, but a symbol of a killed cyclist is really fucked to be stealing

[travisio]

does the blue weft mean that all of your underwear/exposed body parts turn blue?

the more i read about these jeans, the more i think they're for me.

[tweeds]

^ as it is, my underwear turns blue with eternals

[Thorns]

I'm trying to catch up on this concept. Did somebody say these jeans are not overdyed that they're merely made up with both indigo dyed warp and weft? Instead of one being white. Am I reading this right?

[poly800rock]

yeah, not overdyed...someone else should explain this concept better, partytaco? vince? i only half understand it....

[Dick Danger]

yup, it was big thing on the .co.jp site, but I can't find the page any more

Yes.123456

[denimdestroyedmylife]

both the warp and weft threads are indigo-dyed

i do believe the weft is suminando-----that is, the last dip is in india ink; but the 45rpm site can be confusing on this point because they say that the weft is the same color as the warp

either way, the main thing is the weft is dyed

yes, the yarns are dyed before weaving

the jeans are NOT garment-dyed or piece-dyed

this is why i respect 45rpm, doing some next level shit

[Swych]

woah wait

I dunno. I dunno why i stole a bike. i dont need a bmx when i have a bmw. just one of those drunken things. just wanted to ride it for a bit i had no intention to keep it. no the cyclist wans'at dead. he later turned up at the diner to demand compensation in the form of a burger. at 5 am.

I been fine so far.

But to reduce the effect i've been hunting down indigo underwear. hopefully with selvage peehole.

[Thorns]

So... whats the smallest waist they come in, how much do they cost, and where can I cop?

[so-so]

http://www.45rpm.jp/shop/goods/goods.aspx?goods=5076029

Sold out, but looks like 26 waist, 25k yen, talk to 2000db

It took like 10 seconds to find that...

[ddohnggo]

fuck, now i want a pair of these. i want to try them on at the nyc store first, in hopes that it fits me better than the sorahikos. (i know it's supposed to have the same cut, but i'm basing it the hope from poly's experience)

think they're sold out in japan, don't know how the instore stock varies from the online shop. The soho store said they were getting more in the beggining of the year....don't know if they got em.

let me know what you think, i could be completely wrong, but the sorahiko's seemed really dumpy for some reason, and the nando x nando were better fitting, even though they say it's not the case, i'd like someone else to try em on to say the same...it's been a while though....Even the long haired japanese dude at the store said they were slimmer through the leg than the sorahiko's. I tried the slim ones too. Can't really focus on them either way, natural oni's await me

but the color of these are insane...i was just reading the 45rpm description...i'm picturing a faded outside with a dark turnup...that's fucking sexy. They is no way these are stacking jeans, the turn up is a MUST!

[ddohnggo]

the more and more i look at the jeans the more i want them. i sold my sorahikos because they didn't drape well at all in the legs, my biggest gripe with the jeans.

plus, the fading on these will be crazy.

[synthi]

I contacted 45rpm about these and here was their reply:

And as for nando x nando we have three different types. Sorahiko style, straight leg, tapered one. Do you know which one you were interested in?

Is everyone here talking about the Sorahiko nando or the straight leg? I will ask them but thought I'd check here too. TIA

[nairb49]

Just got my sorahiko slims today, and while the denim is terrific, the cut is surprising. for a "slim" they really aren't so slim...

The way the straight leg is cut, almost makes it look like a slight bootleg. I'm tempted to try and find a good tailor to taper them just slightly so that they look like a classic slim straight leg when I wear them. THougts?

[synthi]

Just to clarify then you got the Sorahiko style, not the straight's right?

Nice info. I thought their website said they had a number of women's cuts, but only one for men Post measurements if they give you any.

[poly800rock]

For warp, Nando-Indigo thread was chosen and Suminando-Indigo thread for the weft and this gave birth to “Nando-Indigo x Nando-Indigo”. The depth and darkness of the indigo makes it appear almost like pitch black.

[vinz]

I don't have any dramatic fades on my nando's. I flipped my them inside out and I found some honeycomb fades on the inside.

how many months of wear so far?

[vinz]

I've had them since November 06, I have about 3-4 wears a week on average. I haven't startch this pair. On the outside the color is still really dark only in bright daylight you can see some of the slight fading.
