45rpm

the jomons seem like they will have less contrast. I heard that's to be expected with the natural indigo jeans, like they'll fade into a greenish cast all over rather than developing high definition white whiskers. I think i'll pick up a pair when I hit up Tokyo since they're so expensive in the States, it seems like these are a better investment than the Junya Watanabe reconstructed '66 501's, those have a fucked up seat due to the re-tailoring.

I saw a random guy in NYC last year with 45rpms on. the jeans were washed many times and they had a very unique greenish color. nothing like i've seen on any of the 45rpm postings here or on any of their sites. maybe he had some natural indigo R's not sure of the cut, just know it had the

R emblem on the backpocket

Yea apparently 45rpms take on a green-ish cast over time. I've read that on their website a couple of times. Those jeans you saw were probably Aihikos (the natural indigo model that was replaced by Jomon)

[Yakboy Equals Nurturer]

I know some of you are going to get excited over this, the US 45rpm online store has raw Sorahiko's:

Seems that they're only available via the online store too...

[bahnahnahs]

is the Slim sorahikos the slimmest cut they got for 45rpm??

are there any other model which are slim?

[tony_hige]

The are the sorahiko's that I bought one wash at the soho store three years ago - I've posted these before, but it's relevant here. These are hands down my favorite pair of jeans I've ever owned.

Yeah they do - the pic I just posted doesn't do 'em justice. They have a slight greenish cast.

maybe that was me. only mine have not been washed many times...only worn to hell and very, very nasty.

[Guest Fade to Black]

i said it before, but once again: tony_hige your sorahikos are what i strive for mine to be in a few years...

i haven't been wearing 'em much since getting back to school, but the last few times i wore them i noticed that the indigo is starting to fall...should be coming along if i keep wearing them. I'll probably pick it back up this coming week.

[Dogfarm]

Tony those jeans are beutiful. I love them.

[rocker4life]

i'm still at shock when i saw the $754 price tag on those jomons,but they are sick as hell!!very beautiful denim

[PG2G]

Hehe, yeah. Those jeans are like my inspiration. It beat into my head that I shouldn't really expect 6 month results and gotta be in it for the long hall

What is the inseam length on the one wash Sorahikos?

[partytaco]

What is the inseam length on the one wash Sorahikos?

all 45rpm mens one wash pants have a 34" inseam. of course certain variables can alter this measurement (cotton, looms, weather, etc...) but in theory they should measure a 34 after they are washed.

[tnf1029]

Anybody have an actual measurement of 29 or 30 Sorahiko (not slim) one wash?

[jiomitori]

Would 45rpm sell me a pair of jeans without the R on the back? They seem like the kind of place that would do that if any place would, but it's probably too picky or annoying. I've heard that you can buy Evisu without the gulls through.

[poly800rock]

i doubt it, the evisu gulls are hand painted at the shop in tokyo, the r is stitched in there..you could try, you are paying an arm and a leg...

[jubei]

^ if you buy them bespoke you can ask for no gulls... ( see www.indigofan.com )

[tweeds]

45rpm's done custom denim, i'm sure they'll agree to take off their R for a fee...

remember the 45rpm denim golf club covers? those were really cute.

[PG2G]

Isn't the R like... incredibly small?

[Kontos]

I received a gift of used 45 rpm jeans from a friend, can anyone help provide some background ?

Thank you

[tnf1029]

wow it seems that you have a very good friend. The R color is similar to Sorahiko. However, the leather patch looks different. Old version of Sorahiko?

[derdankhund]

shameless plug:

I'm selling a pair of 45 rpm BC4000's in the supermarket right now...

worn once, no signs of wear, $90 off retail...

what size?

[derdankhund]

marked size 30 but run a little loose so are a 31...

[Kontos]

TNF, oh yeah

I think it might be the Aihiko, but I'm not sure

I thought Aihiko is dyed with natural indigo, but this pair has a very different colour compared to my Jomon

[xcoldricex]

aihiko is natural indigo. my memory is failing me- not sure if they had that style patch or not, but i think so. it could be a predistressed aihiko - or maybe your friend just wore them a long time.

[xcoldricex]

looks like it might be. here's an old aihiko with limited ed. pockets.

[tnf1029]

nice pic coldrice

[asfberg]

looks like older sorahikos that have had a lot of washes to me

[Kman]

I think that the first pair are predistressed sorahikos, second pair definately old style ai-hikos, have a pair of those with those pockets.
