the 47s, hawaiis, and okinawas all have slightly but perceptibly different fits as well. for me at the same size, the okinawas have tighter thighs, the 47s have a tighter waist but are almost billowy after the hips, and the hawaiis are more or less straight up and down with a tiny bit of taper towards the waist and the hem (still more straight than "slim straight" but enough to be noticeable in a good way (not culotte-ish)). my fave is the hawaiis.

i've been wearing a molleton 129 since 2016. same denim as all the tender jeans that has been molletoned (bill explained the process in detail somewhere in this thread). from the outset the jeans felt like sweatpants, so soft and comfy, almost velvety. i remember not expecting much contrast fadez because of the softness but ended up getting them anyway especially on the honeycombs (there are plenty of pics of the jeans in this thread already) after about a year or so. this is with regular wear, and i'm not a very active person, machine washed whenever dirty (in the tropics so maybe once every 2 weeks), line dry. my favourite fade is the extra long front pocket fade. i imagine it gets even more prominent since the pocket lining is made out of the same denim as the jeans.

kuniyoshi-san's beautiful roping on my sda champloo. true to his word in that classic miza thread, the hem fold is thin.

rarely shine my shoes but i just did. cheaney cairngorm. used cheaney's own bordeaux cream and wax, made by saphir. the burgundy leather gets quite light brown after a few years (sorry no before photos), these are around 4 years old.

@Maynard Friedman has a mint one for sale i think?

haha wasn't anything as productive as that, happened during a spoken word performance, the can exploded.

@chicote ah yes they also share the exact same blue selvedge! i wear my tenders loose to avoid repairs and so far i haven't had to do many but i also live a very sedentary life unlike you it seems. here are some pics of my sda denim on the double volante champloo collab. had some spray paint accident on the weekend.

which one has yr fave fabric? i think these days the tender denim is my no. 1, along with the sda standard denim (103 etc series), and they're very similar, super deep dark blue, veiny with wash, still contrasty even with frequent washes, the sda is just a bit lighter in oz-ness. i've always wondered if they come from the same mill.

proper eternal, such beautiful deep dark blue hue. whoever came up with the brand name must have an overdeveloped sense of irony since the stitching lasts barely five seconds.
