Up for sale here is a polo shirt from 45 rpm. This is classic in the best sense, with a deceptively simple design. It’s straightforward enough to go with pretty much everything, yet at the same time the materials and quality are excellent, something 45 rpm clearly excels at.
As always, 45 rpm is very particular about their materials. 45 rpm always uses some of the best fabrics out there, many of them proprietary to the label and that you won’t find elsewhere. They are probably best known for their natural indigo, which is what we have here. Like any good indigo product, this shirt will pleasantly fade with wear, developing nicely as it ages. Fabric is light weight here, where this is an ideal summer/warm weather piece.
Shirt has a polo-style collar with two button closure. Logo is discharge printed on the neckline with the size in red. Buttons are vegetable ivory. Bottom has the “R” logo embroidered in red on the left side. 45 rpm never comes cheap, and these shirts retailed at about $250 in Japan and even more abroad. Get it here much more reasonably.
Size is labeled a 4. 45 rpm is sometimes inconsistent in their sizing, but I would say this fits a standard medium well. I measure the chest at 20.5” / 52cm, shoulders at 17.5” / 44cm, and length at 26” / 67cm from the base of the neck. The shirt comes in used but very good shape with no holes, tears or stains. There is some fading of the indigo as you can see here, but if anything it gives the shirt more character. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $24.
