hey john where do you get your 45 rpm's man?

I was in Tokyo last year. Bought it from their shop at Ginza. The Nando's are from parachutes' bidding service.

[edmond]

which is cut similar to the s5000? the sorahiko or the nando's? and the jomon's are they near the s5000vx cut?

none are like the s5000. nando is just a slimmer version of the sorahiko.

[edmond]

thanks poly appreciate that err what the cutting on those? 55 or 66?

so here are my suminando's before i sent them off to 45rpm soho to get some repairs done again. they're 2.5 years old, worn for half that time maybe. there's very little whiskering because i travelled a lot in them (to shady-ish places) and had to keep my passport/wallet in my front pockets. the blue hue that comes through is hard to capture.. but it's evident in the right light. love these jeans, but they take forever to break in... maybe that's a good thing though

nicest suminandos i've seen. good job, coldrice.

wow, those look great!

xcoldricex... what's the process for getting 45rpms fixed? My Suminados are in need of some repair seeing as I've worn the shit out of them, one of the back pockets is torn all the way along the top, etc. etc. I'm not gonna be in NYC any time soon, reckon I could send them in from the UK?

[xcoldricex]

you can probably contact the store in paris and see if they do repairs - otherwise you can email the new york store and arrange for them to be fixed. all you have to pay for is the return shipping. it's a great service, already had them repair my crotch twice.

How are your other 45rpm coming? My suminandos probably won't be picture worthy for at least 6 more months.

I'm thinking about a pair of nando's but the skinniness (that a word?) of the jeans worries me a bit.

The Nandos and very similar in shape to Studio D'Artisan SD103s if that helps. ie. slim, but certainly not skinny.

[tweeds]

coldrice the word i'm looking for to describe the jeans...is "lived-in". lovely to see a pair of jeans taken for a long ride.

[Charlie Delta]

In the back of my head I know that eventually I will end up at 45rpm jeans....

has anyone posted any comparison sizing on the 45 line. I love my sorihiko's but they are widish in the leg. Im curious about how they compare to the sor slims and the jormans.......

PS they are distressed i think they are labeld "bushi" - and they really are awesome...

[percy]

dont know if these pics will help. i took these of my nandos when i first got them. i find them a simple straight leg fit.

jomon's are slimmer than the sorhaiko's.

sorhaiko slims are naturally slimmer than the sorhaiko's.

i don't know how the sorhaiko slims and jomon's compare.

this post may help you out.

Not as lived in as others posted here, but since people want more pictures in the thread, I thought I'd play. Sorahikos, about 6.5 months of wear, no washes.

[percy]

looking real nice

[john11f]

super nice!

[tweeds]

beautiful depth of colour, even through as terrible a medium as photos

[amlai]

Thanks for the compliments. I was kind of afraid to post pictures up here on SF because people are so... fanatical about their denim.

[tweeds]

show me an SFer that will sniff at a pair of 45rpm jeans...

just kidding. they do look good...!

[cheep]

wow... went to the 45rpm store... amazing clothes. one day ill have a pair of these... one day. and an indigo dyed henley, and a button up... and .......

carl said it best... "if i was a wall st trader id drape myself in this stuff"

[xcoldricex]

nice, thanks for contributing amlai.. be sure to update in another 6-12mo.

debating on starting my jomon's for the year or to keep wearing the suminando's...

[partytaco]

Indigo Sorahiko 5 months old washed about every week or two.

[amlai]

Hmm... if that's washing every week or two, I think I may start washing my jeans... and relatively often at that...

partytaco, when you say washing, do you just chuck in the machine w/ bronner's?
