puffy hips, loose legged.

[xcoldricex]

are you guys sizing down or not?

[percy]

i didnt on them, they may have looked better if i had. the fact i have skinny legs doesnt help either.

i would buy a pair of the older style sorahikos but im not keen on getting some more of those. besides, i have my nandos, so that will do for now.

Excuse the possibly already answered question but are Suminandos overdyed in black ink? I originally thought they were just a black overdye.

If so, those are some badass jeans.

yes, black ink. i might buy another pair in the near future.

but it's only the warp threads that are overdyed, not the whole jean. they overdye them in ink before the denim is woven I believe.

Can't underestimate the amount of shrinkage. I have a pair of nandoxnando, and after two washes they've shrunken and tightened a lot, and the denim looks freaking beautiful. I'm not getting the sufu fades, but man, the denim is beautiful.

Finally know what the deal is with the wet floors in the stores.

The NY 71st location is amazing...!

[beatle]

It is, makes your eyes get all big !

[coleslawyum]

I love the smell in the store. It's a combination of Japanese incense and Italian potpourri. Anyway love the clothes but not the price.

Anyone know where to find past seasons look-books online?

For anybody who lives somewhere without a 45rpm store: They just updated their online store. There are some jomons, the new sorahikos, and the sorahiko slims. No nandoXnando's though. There are also a few things that look pretty cool in the preorders section. I like the shirts and the pants. Just thought i should let you guys know.

sigh. i can't seem to keep the crotch of my suminandos from ripping after repairing. i guess i'm going to have to retire them and get a new pair at some point.

[percy]

I've been having the same problem with my Sorahikos I've had since october too, and they're not sized down at all. I bit frustrating to say the least. I hope it doesn't happen to my Jomons...

try washing them from time to time. the sweat from your crotch tends to weaken the cotton especially in combination with the starch if it's not completely washed out and combine that with that area being a point of high stress and well there you have it....or you could just have big thighs or wear themtoo low.....

[Charlie Delta]

^ Just curious since you never got back about it. Did we actually see you at the uptown store, last tuesday/wednesday?

Me, Kiya and some other people.

I tried on Sorahiko's...

i think that's the problem. i need to size down next time so they fit higher...

partytaco is good people! i met him briefly while i was out in nyc.

Feng Shui?

Water features move and stimulate Chi, attracting the cosmic life energy. That would be my guess.

They told us it's a reference to tea ceremonies...

You main the waist on a one wash pair of jomons? Use the sizing chart on the page.

http://www.rby45rpm.com/shopping/show_product.php?product_ID=37/Jomon+Denim+O%2FW

It's 33 inches

[percy]

no.. i mean the raw jomon. the 33" jeans are showing 33" before shrinking. i want to know what that should be. is ok i have one of my people contacting the ny store today. thanks.

[Fookums]

a 2 year distressed wash will be $300, 5 year will be $500 and a 7 year for $700.

daamn. Does that mean 7 year distressed jomons would be $1454??

[xcoldricex]

[percy]

Do 45rpm jeans stretch much in the waist?
