[red]

ive never seen any on here, so im asking. i want to see how mine will turn out.

[shinobi2000]

those are coming along nicely, shinobi. the whiskering, especially.

i'd like to see some faded hawaii's, too, red. no progress here after two months...

Those look good. I'm considering Okinawas as my next pair.

[shinobi2000]

i'd wait to see pics of the Hawaiis. I saw both pairs at the NYC store and the Hawaii's have a nicer blue but I don't know how they fade. My Okinawas started looking like that after only 3 months of moderate wear. So still waiting for the Hawaii pics anybody....

i read hawaiis fade slower than the okinawas, but the creases form at about the same time. or something to that effect.

i think you may have to do it yourself. i looked everywher, but found nothing. so all we can really do is hope some japanese will find this thread and post.

[choice_genes]

shinobi, lookin very good. nice work man. Do you find that they dye comes off the jeans (and onto your hands/legs/ect) pretty easily?

I have a pair of Okinawa's that are at about the month and a half stage and the dye definitely likes to stain my hands, legs, etc.

[red]

pics?

[shinobi2000]

yes, indeed, i know this has been discussed in other threads about the special dyes that the Okinawas and Hawaiis use -- whatever it is, it comes off very easily. Amazingly though, they did not fade too much after the first wash. I don't have pics after the wash (I had to wash them cuz they were just too smelly) but I assure they are not too different from those pics.

this is as much as i could find. nothing really though.

they look nice.

[poly800rock]

at least we see some contrast!

my okinawas are making prominent creases after one day of wear. definitely a good sign.

i took some quick pictures (stealth-mode-style) of a 6 month sample of the hawaii's. i'll try to get them up.

i was thinking about getting them- but after seeing how they fade i don't think the style would match my style- but they are beautiful nonetheless. oh well. that saved me $300.

need goods from japan? email me. getting goods to you before your rice gets cold.

hawaiis in japan for 300? thats hell of a premium for pants worn by someone for 6 months.

Does anybody know how the gray mud dyed Okinawas will turn out..?

[PG2G]

wow

[denimdestroyedmylife]

no whiskering, combs, chevrons, holy cows------------just a lap fade and holes

interesting to see how the color develops, though

the top picture kills

i think the color and vertical falling coming from the slubbiness is worth not having the high contrast whiskers and all that. fucking beautiful.

shit...

[denimdestroyedmylife]

the yoke and the area above the pockets in the front have the denim turned horizontal-----so that would be horizontal color falling in those places

i don't think the vertical color falling is a result of slubbiness, but from raised warp threads that run up and down-----the alternating dark and light blues enhances this effect

beauty, indeed

I can't find the thread. Does anyone remember what the title was? Or can someone explain about the dyes of the okinawas (the ones with python patch) real quick?

[synthi]

Those hawaii's in xcoldricex's pics are the SC40400N's that cost Y31,290 - not the other hawaii's that are about Y17,000 or so right? Very nice pair of jeans.
