i was wondering, what is the difference was between sugarcane hawaii's and okinawas? i noticed that they have identical measurements. is it just different fading? thanks

the indigo used for the oki is from the okinawa island,the frontpocketlining is made out of a traditional okinawa cloth,lefthandtwill,snakeskinpatch.The hawaii is dyed with indigo from..well,hawaii.not sure about the frontpocketlining,i think its got some trad. tattoo motiv,righthandtwill,deerskinpatch

How did you size those Okinawas? Did you get one size down? I am contemplating getting a pair and would like mine to fit like yours.

H&M organic cotton in company with sc okinawa:

Thanks for the comments and rep.I couldnt resist and used the nice weather today for some more pics:

And together with H&M organic cotton:

Start them young!

My Okinawas got their first real wash at 60°C after 8 months :

The inseam shrank about 1",everything else stretched back within a day of wear.

I don't know of a thread that basically discusses motorcycle wrecks and their effects on the jeans, but it doesn't really matter. A few months ago I took a spill and dragged for a little bit and I was wearing some 17oz Samurai Jins and they have slight abrasion on the ankle on one side but were pretty much unscathed. My skin underneath was fine, but on my elbow where I was also dragging (and I was wearing a padded motorcycle jacket) there was a lot of blood and scratches into the skin.

Had the same bad experience with my sc okinawa,jeans came much better out than my trusty Vespa:

Did you take pics of your jins?

Really nice purchase Shorty! Is it just the lighting or why does the arcuate looks pink? Should be more reddish..

I had to do some maintenancework in a theater today and used my RW 8138 as what they are - workboots:

electrum,501,-$ is a ridiculous price for a pair of jeans.I never understood how somebody could pay that much...

Sympathy,if you can get hold of a hat like that I demand fitpics ASAP!

Awesome!Really like the buttons,very unique.

I know,and I even ordered a w32 first,but thought they will be too tight after soaking and exchanged them for the 33...

Absolutely brilliant,sympathy and fardin!Looks like you found a treasure of pics! :eek:

As for shrinkage, my 2007 pair size 33/36 got an initial soak at about 60°c without any result.Than I took them in nearly cooking water for an hour and dried them at hottest setting.Inseam measures now 35",the waist stretched to 34" in 2 days of wear.Dont know if a proper wash at 90°c will do much difference..

Great pics,Paul. Could you explain the last one please?

oh right, from the pics its very hard to tell the difference between paint or fabric.shows even more what a good job salaami did!

Great job,salaami.Did i miss something or when did you sew the red tab on?Anyway, very tidy done!

Really great pics Paul,dont let us wait too long with more details about your roadtrip,even if I know where the denim is made..

As I own the 201 from 07 I am not familar with the 99 version,but cutwise they should be the same,the 201 is very baggy,mine looks like bellbottoms-not very flattering.I did the mistake and sized up from 32 to 33,but they didnt shrink at all,if you go true to size you cannot be wrong.Just keep in mind that the cut is very loose and roomy.Paul T did a great job comparing the version 02 vs 07 here:

btw Paul,if you read this,the jeans should be in London around Tuesday.

Why is there a Vespa P-range on the pocketlining?:confused:

This i wanna see. We need to get the average age of Sufu down anyway, people like me are skewing it.

If you happen to see any 136cm please cop us a pair (they only had next size up, 140cm) , I'll pay U back and sort you out w a book or something...

Hi Paul,grabbed the last 134 today:

If somebody ever earns an extra tab its salaami.Answering even the simpliest question and sharing his knowledge!
