45rpm

Looks like Sorahikos.

nando x nando is the pair that is blue dyed weft?

[john11f]

^ yes .... 10 char

[technicolor]

Taken from "45rpm Sorahiko Nando x Nando *pics*" thread. Ms. Technicolor is a size 24, and these are a size 27. About 3 sizes too big for her, but a nice relaxing fit nonetheless.

45rpm has made a few modifications to their famous sorahiko, going with a more tapered cut and changing the placement of the back pockets for a tighter fit. now i kind of wish i hadn't gotten a pair of the old ones back in september.

i'm not sure how these compare to the sorahiko slim that's available in 45rpm's new york stores, but i figured people might be interested in the news.

[john11f]

these new ones are nice. i kinda wish i didn't have the older one which was a bit hard to put creases and combs on. i guess a tighter fit will make it easier?

[percy]

hmm, look interesting. may have to give it some further research. for how i like jeans to fit it is a pity they have slightly lowered the rise though.

[ExileOnMainSt]

dont i feel like the idiot for buying one of the old pairs, the cut is not the end of the world though just a wee bit wide from the knee down.

How will the new sorahiko cut differ from the Sorahiko Slim?

[KicksNotBombs]

I agree, but the creases are hard as hell to set...

[percy]

i cant believe it, they have already sold out in size34

who is willing to bet they will stretch in the waist?

[gaodatong]

yeah, their online shop always seems to run out of stuff. don't worry, though--if you wait a while, i'm sure they'll restock

Went in the Paris store yesterday, and the girl showed me a pair of what I think were the new Sorahiko's (never really sure with them, communication is a bit rough with Japanese to French to English) and to be honest the cut wasn't appealing to me at all.

Had very bulged out hips, low waist and the backpockets were all the way up and almost touching the yoke.

I asked if it was maybe a womens model but she said no.

Maybe I just misunderstood...

I also asked if these would replace the old Sorahiko's, or if these would be an additional model, and this too she couldn't really tell me.

She was very friendly though...

Anyway, they had just washed a big part of the jeans they had in the store, so the whole shop was filled with damp jeans, not bad...

[Tapeman]

Tried the new Sorahikos in the Shibuya store yesterday. The waist was very low and I felt no big difference in the hem width compared to the old version. Not so impressed....

[percy]

well i have some on order.. no doubt this will be another purchase im gonna regret!

[percy]

ok, well my new style sorahiko's came today and they were pretty much as duck described; lower rise than previously, wider in the hips and quite ballooned legs. they dont seem tapered either.

it could be enhanced because i have a pot belly and skinny legs which dont fill out the trousers, but the overall styling is as described.

my options now are to return (if able), sell or alter. i had been planning to make my own pair of jeans, so maybe i will just start with these. albeit slightly more costly than i had envisiged. im considering a taper right from the waist band to the hem.

[iamstarwars]

I don't think they look bad at all. They'll look better after a week or two of wear. If you don't want them, sell them to me (for cheap)

[percy]

for sale: £150 shipped in uk

[john11f]

yeah. there's not much different from the old sorahikos.

So ive finally figured out how to use yahoo.Jp auctions and turns out it's a fucking gold mine for 45RPM stuff.

Now, if i could only figure out a way to use these proxy services...anyone have any help?

I mean, fuck! Look at how bad ass this jacket is...

[stadsvandringar]

There are a bunch of threads for proxy's, but a lot of people on here (including myself) use sharpservice: http://www.sharpservice.jp/. They have instructions on there.

Yahoo japan seriously is a goldmine for 45 rpm stuff. A lot of the items for the more recent seasons tend to get bid up, but the older stuff can be had for dirt cheap. You can also find a lot of umii stuff pretty cheap on there.

Is there a guide posted about navigating yahoo jp auctions? If not maybe you could post one?

could anyone ID these? thanks

[stadsvandringar]

^^ those are an older model pair of jeans. I'm not sure if those are considered sorahikos or not. The description says they're one-wash and basically new. He says the waist measures out to 78cm, which is more of a 30 than a 31.

Also, it is wise to check the measurements on pants from yahoo japan. Most shops in Japan will hem pants for free or a nominal fee. This means that you can often get jeans that are too short on the average westerner. These jeans have a 79cm inseam.

thanks alot. price is pretty phenomenal

[midnight]

Sorry if this was already posted. I tried a search but didnt get any obvious results. Does anybody know how much nando nandos will stretch?

[KicksNotBombs]

Someone buy my Sorahikos...

How are the Jojos? I'm thinking about getting a pair of those instead.

[rollups]

I would like a pair of 45rpm nando nando. I live in the UK what are my options? Also What do they only come in a one wash? I am a 33" what size would i need in these?

[midnight]

get a 32 or 33. A nyc proxy would be able to pick them up for you, I emailed 45 rpm though about their online store and they told me they would restock it on april 1st so you may want to hold off until then.

[percy]

i believe you could get away with one size smaller than usual. you may also want to check with a japan proxy to see if they can pick up direct from a store there, may well be your cheapest option.

[PG2G]

Yeah, a Japan proxy would be significantly cheaper than a NYC proxy.
