45rpm

[edmond]

size down how many? err whats the nearest cut it resembles to? ( samurai, dior, )???

[PG2G]

Not to be an ass, but I have to ask. Edmond, why do you want to buy these jeans? It doesn't sound like you know anything about them, and you probably should before you go and spend upwards of $700 on a pair of jeans.

[edmond]

i know bud but i wont see these in person or feel them unless i get one right? how would i know how these jeans are. or how good/bad they are unless i get one .. ill just sell them if i dont like em..

[PG2G]

My advice would be to wait until you do have the opportunity to see them in person, that's what I'm doing. I guess I can say that because I'll be in a place that carries them within the next year or so.

I guess you're right though, you could always just sell them on supermarket.

[edmond]

i wont have any means t see them in person.. i mean from all the testimony these guys have on the jomons im really impressed... im really curious too how these jeans would fit ... ill just sell em for like 10% on the supermarket if they dont fit right.. but then again the people's testimony on the fit is just overwhelming..

Umii 908 jeans. Worn regularly for 9 months. 2 washes.

[synthi]

^ Sick. Partytaco can I ask if you're aware if the Japanese branches have new stock of the Aihiko's? tia

looks a lot like my umiis worn for about 2 months, 1 wash. he he.

(but i'm sure you'll hit that point where it starts fading hard much sooner than i will.)

[xcoldricex]

umii's are bomb. i want a pair still even though i haven't touched my jomon's yet.

i need to post some pics of my suminando's - they're getting somewhere finally.

[nairb49]

after about 4 months, I'm starting to see the faintest of discoloration on my sorahikos.

[john11f]

stuck with my shoais. haven't touched my nandos and my sorahikos dont get any lovin' oh well....

so many pairs of 45rpm floating around.

out of curiosity, which pair would you guys rate highest out of your 45rpm collections?

[partytaco]

as much as i love the feel, color and lee styling of the UMii I really don't find myself wearing it as much as the standard indigo Sorahiko. the cut is so classic on the Sorahiko and the denim/indigo fades so beautifully.

[Chicken]

i only own the umii, but from trying them on i prefer the fit of sorahikos, too, at the end of the day. and from what i've seen, i prefer the fades on them as well.

[tweeds]

none of that "modern riff-raff" like the slim sorahiko, or the nando x nando for you two?

[Chicken]

there's something quite "classic" about the sorahikos, even moreso than their other models, to me. more refined, maybe.

nando x nando starts getting into the non-classic world again because of the unorthodox dye, but the cut's still that sorahiko cut, which makes them still grounded. and i feel like it's that well-designed cut that allows 45rpm to go off and do crazy things without looking ridiculous. sorahiko already has something like seven different models, was it?

[john11f]

may i still suggest that partytaco's worn sorahiko's are one of the best looking jeans out there.

[Chicken]

and not to mention tony_hige's.

[Blackplatano]

My sorahikos have not gotten my full attention, but they have faded somewhat from the begining. THey have actually faded faster than my APCs. It makes me wonder how well they hold their indigo even though i know they are dyed 16 times. I will start to wear them more from now on.

I also like the sorahiko fit. This is a 31 on me.

[PG2G]

I like the Sorahiko fit, but wish it was a bit smaller below the knee. Maybe that's what the slim is If I ever pick up another pair, I'll probably have them slightly tapered.

the slims do have a smaller hem. But from what i understand they are slim through out, but not a true slim jean. This is according to the guy in the soho store.

[Dick Danger]

hhhmmm...........raw Jomon

[john11f]

insanely beautiful!

[PG2G]

Wow... so much more beautiful raw.

[percy]

shit.. ive been looking for a new pair of jeans, something for the winter i was thinking, like some heavy weight sams or the like. now ive seen these raw im fucked

[nettiemoore]

another addition added to the online store distressesd indigo sweatpants...

not really for me but others might be into them.

[PG2G]

I had to do some spot cleaning on my suminandos this weekend, I let some tooth paste fall on them :/ Anyway, the part where I cleaned now shows this beautiful blue color in the sun. Given time, these jeans are going to be freaking amazing.

I just tried to take a picture, but you can't really see anything. I think its one of those "looking down at your thigh as the sun hits it" type of deals Give it some more time and I'm sure i'll have something.

[percy]

just some quick pics i took today of my nandos. was overcast so colour seems quite cold, much more vibrant when sun out.
