ever since 1978,
45RPM has been using traditional dying techniques to make their beautiful denim with a whole lot of japanese craftsmanship & subtle quality. they also stick to the japanese philosophy “mottainai” which roughly translated to reduce – reuse – recycle. their indigo, or ai-dye, is always yarn-dyed by hand, where the skeins of yarn are dyed twice a day for two weeks to achieve their fullest glorious color. well, what i got from them is not a pair of denim, but a pair of while pants, which is equally awesome
