  1. I have both the okinawas and the 47s, and both of your information is right. basically there is a very slight difference in rise and thigh - okinawa having a slightly lower rise and slightly wider thigh, BUT when you wear em, you can't really tell the difference at all, and they look pretty much the same. so you could say that visually they look the same when worn.

    Cool, so which do you like better?

  2. Does anybody have experience with Sugarcane's bootcut model? I'm looking for something similar to a Ralf.

    And out of curiosity, can what's the difference in fit between the Okinawa and the 47? Some sites say that the Okinawa is a lower rise and a wider thigh, with both jeans being similar from the knee down, while other sites say they're pretty even.

  3. What 'relaxed' jean should I buy? I'm skinny as shit, but I've been on a kick where I wear my size 11 boots a lot lately. Skinny jeans just aren't cutting it. I have a pair of RRDG, but I was thinking something Japanese and more straight cut would be a nice alternative.

    I tried an SD-303 a ways back, and I was swimming in them, even though they were very tight in the waist. You could see zero definition in any part of my legs. So I'd like something not too big/relaxed in the seat and thigh area, but still maintaining a hem of greater than 8 inches. Specific, I know.

    Samurai s5000vx - I could size down one and a half, to a size 28. The rise and thigh measurements look like they would work with me, but I'm worried that them hem and calf area might shrink up too much (BiG list the raw size 29 as having an 8.5" hem). Also, I live in Texas, so 17oz denim might make me want to shoot myself.

    Skull s5000xx - Bigger hem than the Sams, but also a higher rise (higher rises do not really compliment my body type, in my experience) and maybe slightly looser up top. The denim is lighter weight.

    PBJ XX-006 - According to BiG's measurements, these fit much slimmer in the thigh than Sams and the Skulls, but have a bigger hem. Seems like they are very straight cut. The size 28, however, is listed as having a 32" inseam. That's raw, but I'm kinda skeptical they they'll shrink up that much. I like my raw denim to start out at 29", and stretch out to 30". My jeans that have done that usually fit me best. Also, the XX-005 didn't really fit me right, even though they were the correct size. Weird around the crotch and the seat.

    Fullcount makes a lower rise straight jean, the 1614. It looks good on paper, but Rakuten models are shaped so differently than I am, it's impossible to tell how they would fit on me. Same goes for the Denime type 66.

    What jeans should I buy?

    EDIT: A SSDS would be very close to what I'm looking for, but I already have a pair I've beat to shit.
