45rpm

[Broark]

Thanks for all the info lance, I’ll keep my eye out for a pair. 

[JDelage]

Is that the same brand / store? They have a store in Paris?

It's well worth a visit. If I recall it's not far from the Saint Paul metro? 

[JDelage]

I might go ... later. France is in mandatory stay-at-home mode until May 11 at least...

All 45R stores are closed here in the USA JDelage, you may want to call ahead

Shot in the dark here and a little bump for this thread. I'm looking for a gently used pair of Jomons or something with a similar feel in ~33-34 possibly a 36 that's shrunken a bit.

If anyone has anything to unload or comes across anything in their travels both real and digital, please hit me up.

Never really post but active reader and have always appreciated everyone's insight.

Thx

too bad you werent looking for a 31.

@chantheman

Can that 31 be stretched to 32-33?

Might be interested if it's possible.

[NYDRH]

I wish. I'd probably need to go vegan for a few months and up the cardio to get there

In case anyone UK-based might be interested, the 45rpm store in London is closing down. They are doing 50% off all stock until end of today. I popped along yesterday. There are a fair few sizes of the Futatabi 6.5 Sorahikohime jean still in, especially in large sizes. There's plenty of other lovely bits too.

I happened to walk past the empty shop today. It was only open for 3 years but I suppose it was unfortunate timing to coincide with Covid for most of that time.

 I have literally a closet full of Ai indigo and synth indigo clothing from the Soho and Upper East Side stores bought when they were in their heyday from Spring 2005 to 2009 while it was still R by 45RPM. They really cared about indigo dyeing and truly interesting clothing. The present iteration of 45R has a different philosophy and caters to a different breed of consumer.

Please expand on this Lance. I’ve never been that familiar with 45rpm beyond the few posts I’ve read on here so it’ll be interesting to hear your view as you probably know more about them than most of us.

Just an aihiko button

[redragon]

Picked these up from recent trip to Japan:

Actually glad to see that they are back to their playful self while still keeping the refined edge they are known for...

hi,  new to 45rpm denim jeans.  could not find enough information on their website. 

anyone knows how heavy is their standard models (sora hikohime)? 

do ai hiko(蓝比古） and sora hiko （空比古） both use natural indigo dye? or some of them use only pure indigo?

thanks.

I’m no expert, but have bought several pairs of 45rpm jeans over the years. The weight seems like 12-14oz denim. The sorahiko are pure indigo, only the very expensive jeans are natural indigo , over 70,000jpy, and some have AI in the name, also the Jomons have come back for the USA market and they are natural indigo.

Great video on different approaches to wearing/washing. That 3 year old pair is my ideal 🙏

I am always jealous of folks that can get 18 months and many washes without major repairs. By the time my jeans start getting toward that super soft, bright two year mark, they're so fragile that I can't wear them more than a few weeks without needing more repair. I love the look of all of these jeans, but I always prefer that bright, powder blue most.

They’re back!
