45rpm

[Blackplatano]

i was told that washing the jeans ensures the thread used to repair the jeans shrinks and all that jazz which makes it stronger than just repairing and wearing.

so you are saying that they DO wash it?

[amlai]

so you are saying that they DO wash it?

I imagine the easiest way to find out is to just give them a call and ask...

[Fuuma]

They've changed color, they are much lighter than new, they kindda have minor vertical fade on them, they look more streaky than new now (I'm not sure if I like that though)... I have fade at high stress areas, like where my keys rub against the right side of the jeans, I have a small hole there... the stitching at the pockets are coming off slightly from wear, but there are almost no noticeable whiskers or 'combs unless you look at it under bright daylight.

one of these days I'll take some pics for this and the evolution thread.

I want pics please, you've had those for a while....

[xcoldricex]

no, not necessarily. maybe they gave them to your grandmother to iron your creases.

[horriblyjollyjinx]

Oh, SNAP!

[Blackplatano]

no, not necessarily. maybe they gave them to your grandmother to iron your creases.

silly douchebag, sarcasm is for pricks

[Roland]

^ Did you bring them unwashed smelly denim to repair?

[Blackplatano]

of course not. They were soaked and smell less.

[chantheman]

I picked up my sorahikos from the store after getting them repaired...

and they were way more faded, softer, and the roping at the hem was more intense and tight. on top of that, the creases were now flat.

so it got me wondering...

does 45 rpm wash your jeans after a repair?

got pics?

i give you an answer and you can't even take a joke.

[parachutes]

I got their FW catalogue when I went for a pick up the other day. I will upload scans of it when I get my scanner working.

Makes sense, although the three pairs of jeans I brought in to "the Denim Doctor" (Bears' in Shimokitazawa) were unwashed when I brought them in, and in the same state afterwards (sort of feel sorry for them now....). There are many places which will refuse to repair uncleaned items for hygiene reasons.

[chantheman]

No leather patch ?

Weird...

anyone decide to get these?

[synthi]

A quick heads up by way of hooker upper extroadinaire Parachutes, the Japanese 45rpm store just received stock of the famed Umii jeans. Sadly they start at size W30

[Souper]

Don't really need to size down in umii's though. Beware, shit's made short. Inseam is like 30 if I remember correctly.

So does it mean im a fatass if the infamously large 45rpm seat on my newly acquired sumi sorahiko's contours my bubble butt perfectly?

Now to get these tapered to an 8in hem instead of 9in...heavenly.

These are everything i ever imagined and more!

did you paint the words "JUICY" on the ass?

[Chicken]

here's progress on ms. chicken's nando x nandos. about 7 weeks of wear. (i now relate to others who have been struggling taking pics of nandos since they're so dark.)

still very dark

awesome honeycombs developing

knee fades are already quite dramatic

some verticals fades developing on the laps

[john11f]

i bought ms. john11f the same pair to introduce her to our obsession to no avail. she says that it was too high waist for her...whatever.

i might be posting them in supermarket soon...

[xcoldricex]

there's new ~$1200 jeans at 45rpm - leather or wooden buttons? hand stitch details... wasn't a big fan.

sorry to hear that. these are proving to be really fun jeans to wear for her.

but there's a right pair out there for her too.

[beatle]

Chicken - beautiful....

[Chicken]

thanks beats, i'm sure she'd love to hear that.

just washed them last night for the first time. they're still hanging dry right now.

we'll see if there's any noticeable changes.

[xcoldricex]

so she's going the hard wear route? i wonder how those would turn out with frequent washings.

[Carl]

Fit pics as requested...and, poly, if you squint, you can see the beggining of the J in the second picture.

Deffinetly gonna get them altered from a 9in hem to an 8in, having them tappered from the knee down.

[ExileOnMainSt]

how do you feel about the black overdye on the sumis? I saw them in the supermarket and that was the only thing keeping me way cuz I seen a bunch of people were unhappy with them

[poly800rock]

look perfect.....is the "J" sequence?
