Thanks my man, are they gonna put it on sale on their website too or just in store only? :confused:

I wondering what kind of leather patch are they gonna put on the new Fujimon.

Can't say for certain but they will order only one/size of the shirts and others must be special order, so it's mighty limited. I expect the Fujimon will be full run, but limited too. How many pairs of $1280 jeans can they expect to sell? Patch will likely be different from Jomon; just a guess. The buttons are different - blue, something like the enameled UMII 908 buttons.

I hope they do a really special patch on the Fujimon but i wouldn't mind they use the same patch as the Jomon.....

I seen the pic of the Fujimon blue buttons, i like it a lot.

The new "regular" Ultramarine Sorahiko.

http://www.45rpm.jp/shop/goods/goods.aspx?goods=4076013

Hard to see from just internet pics. I hope I'll be able to sample all these new versions in the store soon. I've got a huge exam coming up in one week that I"ve been studying my ass off for months for and an 45rpm purchase after all these years will be the perfect reward.

^^ shinobi2000 - Can't think of a better reason to buy yourself some 45RPM denim. Fujimon, let's see what you're made of man!

Small update on the US website

The goatskin vest and cotton parka are both on that holy shit jump off

[Yin]

Still waiting for them to update their website......

EDIT: Fuck!!! I just called them, they said the Fujimon is only available in store!!!

are they there already? I've been meaning to head down there to celebrate finishing a recent exam. Don't worry, I'll give you the juicy details.

I was busy at work today, when i call them, the Soho store was closed already, then i call the upper east store, they don't know the detail about the Fujimon but they said they will leave a message to the people in Soho store, and they will call me back tomorrow.

[Yin]

I just called them again, they said they don't have it available yet and probably don't have my size...... but they will send me some detail pictures through E-Mail.

[Yin]

They just call me back again, and just told me a little detail about the Fujimon.

Size: The smallest they have is size 30, so....no Fujimon for me.:(They suggest me the women version, the denim is lighter but nah....

The cut: There is no difference between the Jomon and the Fujimon AT ALL.

Leather patch: They have no idea how the leather patch is gonna be like but they said it 's most likely like the Jomon.

The dye: Same as Jomon, dyed with the natural indigo 24 times but add the charcoal dye on top of that.

So...yea, i might just get the new Jomon instead.

[rexreon]

I've asked the sales in Badou-R store, they're not sure about what Fujimon is. But the New York's 10th anniversary items will also be available in their store from 22nd Oct.

Besides, the denim they called is "Aihiko Sumi-Ai zome", with the price 67000 yen. The distressed type would be 83000yen.

Another one is called “Aihiko Nora-zome”, which comes in distressed as well. The price will be the same as the Sumi-Ai zome.

[coleslawyum]

Damn…… Nice denim, but these prices are insane!

[chambo2008]

price is good on those

[rexreon]

The Suminando x Charcoal Top Sorahiko has a really nice cut, with a tapered leg and a very smooth bottom silhouette.

Usually, I wear in 31 size but for this one I have to wear in 32.

Maybe it's much like the 2010 sorahiko in the US shop, cause I'm not live in there so I'm not sure about it.

[LC_Miey]

hey guys, sorry for my ignorance but ive been reading the whole thread a couple of times still I didnt get what are the models/cuts that are being offered.. as other brands usually go by number codes, 45rpm goes by name of the models which i find a little bit tricky to understand... maybe im a little slow in my comprehensive department..

anybody willing to shine some light on me about the models/cuts being offered by 45rpm?

also what is the difference between their Badou.R , R by 45rpm and UMII908?

sorry for this noob question...

[Opie]

also what is the difference between their Badou.R , R by 45rpm and UMII908?

I'll take an answer to this too, please.

[lance]

There are likely mistakes in this because I know of 45RPM only through buying their clothing. partytaco would know better - I think he worked there - maybe he will post a more informative answer.
Denim:
Jomon - Ai dyed to the core, 24 dips, ecru weft, Zim cotton, fits similar to 47 501 but not quite as tight, slight taper from the knee down. Nice texture and beautiful color. $864
Aihiko - Ai dyed to the core, white weft, Zim cotton, fits tighter top block, straight on down. More purple in color. $550 4 years ago
UMII 908 - Ai dyed to the core, white weft, Suvin cotton (sea island/Indian ELS mix, I think), their version of the Lee cut. Great vertical fade, color not as intense. $750 or so four years ago
Fujimon - 10th Anniversary for Soho store - Sumi x natural charcoal top, 24 dips, Nora x charcoal, 12 dips, Ai x charcoal (almost black), couple of distressed models (ugh), all Ai dyed, some with charcoal weft, some with ecru weft, one with brown weft. Jomon cut. The charcoal weft looks cool with 12 dip indigo when cuffed. $1072 to $1328
NandoxNando - Synth dyed, surface dyed warp and weft, straight cut, great color and fades as they age. $400 4-5 years ago
Soraihiko - Synth dyed, ? cotton, two cuts, earlier one pretty loose, newest version slimmer. Their base model. Just bought a pair, they fade SUFU approved so are surface dyed. $368
UMII is their top line. Some interesting clothing: lambskin jackets, indigo dyed linen coats and trousers, Suvin cotton dress shirts, t-shirts. All expensive (relative to their other prices), sold in UES store.
Badou R - Next in line, Ai dyed Eastern shirts (their western shirt), Ai dyed, hand loomed Indian cotton duck trousers and jackets.
R by - Standard line
Someone more informed can clean-up my mistakes or add stuff I missed. - Editorial - They seem to be morphing from artisans passionate about and expert at Ai and synth indigo dyeing into a fashionista brand. Hope at some point they return to their roots cause nobody does indigo better than 45RPM.

Aren't Badou-R line far more expensive than the Umii908 line? Can't speak about quality cause the only Babou-R thing i have is the leather jacket....I always think Babou-R line >>>Umii908 line.....

Oh yea, Aihiko now is $775 smh...

[lance]

You may be right, Yin. The UMII stuff I have seems to use premium materials and is more expensive than the Badou R but most of my stuff is not very recent. thanks

[LC_Miey]

Thanks a million lance and Yin !

They are all finally clear to me now..also good to have the model info under one post.. Thanks again

[lance]

^^ You're welcome, I'll update as I get info. Will look into what Yin thinks and thanks for the rep.

edit - by the way Yin, did you receive my email yesterday?

I'm still a noob when it comes to 45rpm.....

Yea, i received it. I thought they are gonna blow my mind but like you said, i'm not very impressed with the new Fujimon either....IMHO, Jomon>>>Fujimon.

Oh yea, mind to post some detail of pics of the Umii908 denim?

QTMFT.

LC_Miey: Thanks for the rep as well, if you need help, you can all the people at the Soho store, they are very very helpful and they really know what they are talking about and they have the patience to explain very single detail to you, i felt bad that i didn't buy anything....they are THAT nice!!!

Pic of my UMII 908 on page 149. I asked for and received more pics of the 10th Nora x Charcoal today. The charcoal weft looks great turned up against the Ai but it looks a bit streaky; nice color though.

[LC_Miey]

Cheers guys. The new 10th Fujimon denim is very interesting according to lance's description especially the Ai x charcoal one.

so i take it other than r by rpm line, other items are produced just only for that one particular season, like kind of one-off thing?

p/s: it feels good to read/type the models name and actually know which one is which. now i know what fujimon/jomon means. fujimon...

[lance]

This is the 10th Nora x Charcoal. It's a bit streaky with only 12 dips vs 24, but like it or not, they do some interesting stuff.

Yes, seems like they don't repeat from one season to the next. Most of their line is one off except for the denim.

Maybe it's much like the 2010 sorahiko in the US shop, cause I'm not live in there so I'm not sure about it.

Can anyone help me out with the fit on these guys? They seem really easy to figure out (very slim and waist smaller than tagged), but then 45rpm lists a HIP measurement? And for the size I was considering (size 34) it says they have a 43" hip! I just want some clarification on the cut and actual waist measurements.

Thanks a million guys. I'll be sure to post pictures.
