45rpm

[parachutes]

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...

from what i have seen, their online stores have fairly small stock and that doesnt necessarily reflect what the actualy stores have. i saw those fairly often around here when i went to a couple of 45rpms at the beginning of the year.

got these pics sent to be today, thought few people may like to see them. just a couple of diff models:

brun or barn model?

sorahiko slim

umi

nando

nando slim

[ayn]

cool, thanks for posting the pics, is it just me or do yall think the distressed versions are ugly as shit?

the nando's look dope!

[xcoldricex]

every one is different, so you really have to go in store and select one that suits your tastes... but yeah, i can't say i care for the ones posted.

oh its the barn model by the way.

[percy]

i agree.. was my initial reaction too. i dont mind the barn jean though as it doesnt look as fake. the nandos prob stand out from them all.

[poly800rock]

nando slim is woman's right?

[percy]

yeh i think so. i just asked to see a few of the items which they had in stock. this was from paris. wont be getting any new nandos for two weeks and only had a 36. also told me they are getting a few new style jeans in. didnt say what though.

[synthi]

Man those nando's look so alluring . .

[xcoldricex]

the nando x nando's look more like work pants in person which i said in when i first posted them when they hit stores in japan - the distressed ones are amazing and look more like denim... i'm really curious to see the color on the jomon nando x nando's though

[derdankhund]

has anyone either

(guys) bought any of 45rpm's lady stuff for a friend/girlfriend?

(girls) bought their stuff for yourself?

I just picked up a ladies' sweater for a friend's birthday and it really looks great on her. anyone have any other personal recommendation either from this or past seasons?

[xcoldricex]

45rpm on girls is mad cute. i was showing my gf the winter catalog and she liked almost all of it... so... hopefully i'll be getting some stuff for her at some point.

[derdankhund]

if you end up getting her stuff and she's not all about it, let me know and I'll probably snag it off you if its a S.

[ayn]

^ me too!

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

is there any way i can egt the catalogue without buying anything?

[percy]

just ask the store for one i guess. there isnt much to the actual catalogue really. mine got thrown away in the garbage last week by mistake!

really? i listed to a membership card which requires you to drop a grant a year to recievethe damn thing.

[ayn]

you can drop one grant there pretty fucking easily...

[Dick Danger]

This is a big hole in my life, no 45rpm in my collection. Gotta do something about that.

[soultek]

If you call the store, I think you can buy a catalog for 10$ or something.

[percy]

received my nandos today. was a big toss up between these or the natural onis, but i have to say i quite like them.. nice deep inky blue colour.

cut seems slightly slimmer than the regular sorahikos i had, although that could just be in my head. fabric feels heavier than reg ones, could be because it is dyed on both sides? nice silver 'R' on pocket.

[ayn]

whoa, congrats! please post some pics on how they fit when you get a chance!

[percy]

ok here are a few i just took.

let me say a few things; it wasnt easy getting a good light considering these are quite dark plus the fact i had to take into a mirror. i am 6ft tall and about 160lbs, however i have a pot belly (lack of exercise) so i have to wear a 34 waist, but have skinny legs, so they may look baggy on me. also these are straight out of the box so would obviously need time to soften and drape.

last pic is for quick colour comparison with lvc47 i happen to be wearing at moment.

[poly800rock]

awesome, are these going to be worn as your project pair now? i'm very excited to see the wear on these...

[nairb49]

look great percy. At first, I was a bit put off by the almost bootleg cut of the sorahikos I got, but its really growing on me, and its started to stack now so that it doesn't look so wide anymore. No risky tailoring business.

Got a pair of nandoxnandos about a week ago.. forgot to mention it here or, anywhere for that matter. Got the women's cut, zipper fly and no patch which kind of sucks, but a better fit IMO (I do prefer slimmer jeans), and the same denim as the men's version for ~$100 less. They're amazing, completely amazing. Already starting to see a bit of vertical fading (!!!) after 4 days of solid use. Will take pics if anyone's interested.

def wanna see some pics. is the women's model selvedge? not like that makes a difference, but i've sworn off zipper flies...dammit

[Crillz]

for P800 and anyone else who's interested:

no selvedge in the seams, but if GAP "selvedge" jeans have taught us anything, it's that it's really no indicator of quality.

tag:

fades after only 4 days, I don't know whether to be happy or not...

pics of the fit (pinrolled at ankles):

these are a size 29, and I'm 5'9" and 130 lbs., but keep in mind these are a women's model.

[ddohnggo]

ahhh, good call on the women's model. is there anything cosmetically different other than cut between the men's and women's?

[Crillz]

While the less-tapered women's model does have a leather patch, these skinnier versions do not. Also, there's no "R" stitching on the side of the back-right pocket, rather there is a "45R" chainstitch above it. Also, there's a zipper-fly as opposed to a button-up.

Edit: And they're $100 less.

[ktouran6923]

is the nandoxnando left hand or right hand twill?
