Up for sale here is a button down shirt from 45 rpm. This is classic in the best sense, with a nice plaid design that’s unobtrusive and can go with pretty much everything. At the same time, the tailoring and quality are excellent, something 45 rpm excels at. 45 rpm always uses really interesting textiles, often with a unique texture. As with this shirt, these kinds of pieces are usually woven on vintage shuttle looms, making for a unique and really nice tactile experience. 45 rpm never comes cheap at retail, but you can be sure you are getting a top quality piece.
Details are fairly subtle here and include vegetable ivory buttons throughout, nicely contrasting blue threading on the top button and the bottom button hole, “&” logo embroidered on the left side along with some stitched reinforcements instead of side gussets, and “jobu de nagamochi” neck tag. These shirts retailed at about $250 in Japan and around $350-$400 outside of Japan. Get it here much more reasonably.
Size is labeled a 4, fitting a medium in this case. I measure the chest at 20” / 51cm, shoulders at 18.5” / 48cm, length at 29” / 74cm from the base of the neck, and sleeves at 24.5” / 63cm from the shoulder. The shirt comes in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears, stains or obvious signs of wear. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
