This would probably be included in information, but it doesn't hurt to ask What's the inseam measurement?

$1160?? holy shit!

[PG2G]

Damn, 45rpm's customers are crazy

[fade to black2]

that is insane...$1000 jeans selling out within hours. Thought I was a quality nut.

[parachutes]

45rpm got a new jean in today. only 1 pair of each (1 distressed, 1 one-wash). Called BC4000 AI Indigo Vintage. Around 9.5ounce, left hand twill, organic handpicked Zimbabwaen denim, same dye process as Jomon, lower rise (4 button)...one wash cost $1160 and distressed are around $1300...can't remember exact price of distressed. The single one wash pair sold within a couple hour the distressed are still there. Sizing is weird and run extremelly large...the size 28 was around a 32.5". Full cut but not too relaxed. Very nice, very pricey.

these maybe what i saw at badou-r the other day. were both warp and weft dyed?

no, i haven't heard anything about those but i can only imagine they will be around thesame price if not slightly more. don't think the warp and weft Jomon will be available in new york. maybe but i doubt it.

Oh I want one! I just checked the online store and it wasn't posted. Ill give Chika a call tomorrow and see if they have it in my size:)

a pair of the bc4000 ai indigo vintage distressed jeans sold on ebay for like $200. i don't think the guy knew what he had.

has anyone seen these? the stitched details sound interesting.

& Denim by 45rpm

"Instead of sewing a label like many other pairs of jeans, our special “&” logo is embroidered on the waistband. On the pocket there is also an embroidery of a whale’s tail and another “&” symbol, which looks as if it’s a splash of water made by the whale! We know that the little something on the back makes so much difference."

these just came out this week so i doubt they were the same style

no, i bought them for him from japan in osaka, that's how i know. not to mention they ran 4 sizes too big (which is why he sold them). same ones.

[abstraktgeformt]

I know the pricey-or-not question has been discussed to a certain degree: but how the fuck can 30,000 yen turn into friggin' 1300 $$$$$$?! I could fly to Japan, stay there for a week and cop them for that kinda money....

[xcoldricex]

they didn't cost 30,000 yen. they were like 95,000 yen at least.

[abstraktgeformt]

my bad......

[lilbucu]

1300 for that? hmmm i think ftb's black ones look better. (i can imagin the quality though)

[lilbucu]

oh yeah on a sidenote, partytaco, thanks for the info about how the center rear belt loop on my sorahiko's is natural indigo dyed, it is way darker than the other belt loops, and on most jeans, the rear belt loop is the first to fade. dope!

[percy]

got my s/s07 catalogue today.. aww... pretty pictures

[xcoldricex]

they didn't send me one

[percy]

you obviously dont buy as many jeans as me *rolls eyes*

[gaodatong]

so...i got a pair of sorahikos back in october, and the stiching on the front pockets is starting to come loose. i'm going to new york in april, so i'm going to visit the 45rpm store then to have the stiching repaired (and to have the jeans hemmed). in the meantime, though, is there anything i should do to prevent the stiching from coming further undone? i'm wondering if i should just cut the loose threads, but i thought i'd wait until i get some input before doing anything drastic.

[Dick Danger]

Drastic first, think later.

[xcoldricex]

its just threads....

i got mine repaired by 45rpm. in retrospect i should've just left it, but they were doing other repairs and just asked if i wanted all this other stuff fixed so i said sure why not.

[gaodatong]

cool. i'll probably just leave them alone for the time being, and then see what the 45rpm people have to say when i bring in the jeans in april. hopefully when i go i can get my hands on a pair of these, too:

i'm a little nervous because they haven't restocked the online shop for quite a while...
