$$$$$$$$....tried on the integrated japanese ai jeans. No price tags, only to discover that the jeans are cut for very slender fit models and approximately $980..oops...i will not darken the de nimes dye..another person came in with his lady street walker and stated "i've been telling the guys in the nyc store they need to open a 45r store in Frisco. Glad to see you followed my advice."...um...i believe in an integrated business and i like indigo and i love the smell of cedar and i love the exquisite dresses and tops, but i prefer spending judiciously on raw indigo de nimes fabric cutting the fabric and fitting it and sewing it by the blood of my own fingers. Don't get me wrong. I love this place and enjoy the museum curatorial aspect. Glad that the tall chinese sales lady married to a google stock holder and worker thinks the jeans are a good investment, but my disposables go to pure silver. FREE ADMISSION so far. See it now before more of the nyc investment bankers price the jeans at $4,000...it is "what they love".9 99
44rpm is a legend, and institution, and an inspiration. Their retail experience is somewhere between a Shinto shrine, a museum, and the coolest closet you've ever had the pleasure to peep. From the smell, to the kind, knowledgeable words of the staff...this place is in a league of its own. Every single piece I've ever bought from them is immediately a favorite that I treasure for years, through repairs and retirements. Buying anything from them is signing up for a relationship, with the garment, and with them.
With interest in recent years in heritage American workwear, there are waves of newcomers that are discovering well-established Japanese companies that specialize in Amerikaji heritage clothing.

One of the best shops SF has to offer.
