How do you like those light weight SExSC Okinawas?

Really love them. Weight-wise, they're similar to the other Sugar Canes but the 50:50 cotton:sucar cane fibers give them a really slubby texture and they're the most breathable denim I own, so perfect for hotter weather.

Long time lurker, discovered "proper" jeans about 6 or 7 years ago.

It's also my highest rise, similar to the At Last chinos or Cabourn worker pants from a few years ago. The cut is very generous in the thigh/ knee/ opening so they have a 30's worker vibe to them which gives them a relaxed look. Certainly my most comfortable pair as well. Denim holding up nicely but they currently have less than 20 wears so a bit early to pass judgement. Material and construction seems up there with everything else I own (IH, SC, Roy, Studio D'Artisan etc).

This is my new favourite brand. I have a bunch of items, all from VMC. The fabrics are really good, on a par with Freewheelers and older Cabourn stuff. They start stiff but soften up a bit with wear. The real kicker for me is the construction; it is as crisp and detailed as anything I've ever seen.

Shirts fit a couple inches longer than most Japanese repro brands but that is perfect for me as I'm tall and lots of nice shirts often look short and boxy on me.

Vintage showroom has a couple of shirts and one or two cuts of jeans. VMC has a bunch more stuff, jackets, shirts, chinos and jeans. I highly recommend checking out in person if you can, it's a real hidden gem of a brand.
