45rpm

[frideswide]

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?

45rpm has a Paris store (in the 1st arrondissement, near Place Vendôme) ---- that might be more convenient for you if you live in the UK.

[stagename]

The one in Paris is the only one in Europe (from what the guy told me). Prices (for jeans) start at 350 euros from what I remember...

it's on Rue du Marché St-Honoré, about 3-5 min away from Colette.

costs about double to buy from paris

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: the regular sorahikos cost 333 US!

Thanks for your help guys. i will try to get them from Japan if not then thee NY store. How much are the nandos from the US store? and the Japan store?

[hzheng]

The Nandos in the Soho store is $348 while the Nandos in the Japanese store cost around $250. Basically you'll save about a hundred dollars buying from the Japanese store. However, if you factor in proxy commission costs, shipping, etc... you will save a little less, especially nowadays since the American dollar is weakening against the Yen.

Yes, but at least you can try them on. (Then order them from somewhere else if you care to...).

I may have to buy them from Paris.

I have a pair of sorahikos I bought off of beatle a while ago, I haven't broken them in yet so the denim is still stiff but still very detailed and unique looking. I was wondering if I should do a hot soak before trying to break them in or do it after. Wear is about 10x with no defined creases yet.

[PG2G]

They are stiff? If they are raw you should soak them, but the most 45rpm comes one wash.

[stadsvandringar]

Most 45 rpm is one wash, but they keep their stiffness for a while. I'd recommend wearing them in for a while before soaking, but that's just me. You'll get better fades that way.

Just wear em.

Im about 2 months in on mine and let me tell you...once you start to see that sea green seep through the almost impenetrable indigo, boners a plenty commence.

I doubt I'm gonna buy anything else from now on.

Excuse the possibly already answered question but are Suminandos overdyed in black ink? I originally thought they were just a black overdye.

If so, those are some badass jeans.

[cabl3]

would it be completely useless if I bought some nando x nando's if Im currently wearing PBJ 007's? in other words, are they too similar to break in one after the other?

another question, whats the deal with the two different versions of the n x n's?

i know there's a regular fit and the other fit which is slimmer (the one chicken's gf has)

what is that one called and what fit can it be compared to?

Thanks for the replies. These have really been my 'grail' of denim so I'm happy to own them. what shoes do you wear with them? The larger opening keeps me from wearing most of my shoes, I plan on getting boots or anything that's larger. I've only been able to wear them with my visvim newtons which are like a larger version of chucks and some nike so it look proportionate (I wear a size 9), rest of my shoes are even slimmer.

As the denim forum focuses entirely on denim, this problem is never addressed I think others find difficulty in wearing shoes that look okay with their denim.

[beatle]

Carl- any chance to see some of that beautiful sea green ????

Boots mostly, but i find most shoes work quite well with them...a 9in hem is hardly wide. I wear "skinny" shoes with them, skate Hi's and such, and even though they drape over them and don't give the sufu approved skinny stack i still think they look good. The skinny jean proportion is already far too tired...

*edit* Check out an old xcoldricex waywt of him wearing jomons (which have an even wider hem) with KJxUmbros...they look great together

Beatle - Couple more months...

I just recently picked up a pair of their new sorahikos one wash at the nyc store. i' have a couple of sorahikos before and this new one seems to fit a lot looser at the waste and butt. i have one thats a size 34 that is snug for me on the waste and ass, but these new ones i got a 33 and fit rather loosely but the leg is a bit slimmer, im assuming from the size down. the denim is awesome as most of you already know.

i completey agree, i usually wear my sorahikos with my frye boots, clarks and birkenstocks. But when it comes to running shoes, I just double cuff them and they sit fine. I have no issues with the 9inch hem opening, I just don't understand why the cut gets so wide from the knee down, makes the jeans look alot baggier when they fit pretty snug in the waist and thighs.

Pics or it didn't happen…

[percy]

i sold my new style sorahikos... wasnt overwhelmed by the fit

[LFC4ever]

Can you describe the fit please?

[percy]

.

puffy hips, loose legged.

[xcoldricex]

are you guys sizing down or not?

[percy]

i didnt on them, they may have looked better if i had. the fact i have skinny legs doesnt help either.

i would buy a pair of the older style sorahikos but im not keen on getting some more of those. besides, i have my nandos, so that will do for now.

but it's only the warp threads that are overdyed, not the whole jean. they overdye them in ink before the denim is woven I believe.

puffy hips, loose legged.

Can't underestimate the amount of shrinkage. I have a pair of nandoxnando, and after two washes they've shrunken and tightened a lot, and the denim looks freaking beautiful. I'm not getting the sufu fades, but man, the denim is beautiful.

Finally know what the deal is with the wet floors in the stores.

The NY 71st location is amazing...!

[beatle]

It is, makes your eyes get all big !
