Denim Diary

Having started out as a denim company in the 70s our denim roots run deep under the 45rpm family tree. There are so many different special 45rpm pieces and all of them carry a story with them. We feel like our denim is the most storied of them all. As each pair becomes a part of its owner's life we would like to hear and share those different stories. Here we start our NYC Denim Diary. Inspired by the denim stories shared in early issues of 45rpm's catalogues, we hope to get a good look at the different ways 45rpm jeans have been broken in here in NYC and share the anecdotes behind them. We want you to wear the denim until it falls apart. We are happy to repair it for you. Please stop by either of our locations with your denim and your story. We would love to feature them in our diary. Also, feel free to drop us a line at info@rby45rpm.com with any inquiries.






			I bought this pair in Summer 2006. My first pair of skinny denim from 45rpm. The fabric is the same as Nando Sorahiko. I have washed this pair many times to see how it fades as it is also my first pair that's woven with dark threads on both the warp and the weft. It's interesting that you can see the wear from the inside, too. Asaka Midorikawa





			I swore I'd never let a girlfriend put me in a pair of jeans! But when I dated a girl who worked in the denim industry, I decided this one time I would break my own rule. Unfortunately, the relationship didn't last as long as my first pair of 45rpm jeans. Afterwards, I swore I'd never buy jeans from another company other than 45rpm. The pair pictured here are about 3 years old. I washed them probably a total of 15 or 20 times, always inside out and I never put them in the dryer. I brought these bad boys in to get stitched up and ended up buying pair of Jomon. To be continued... Anonymous
