Thanks man, There is nothing else on the market quite like the SC Oki Denim.

They certainly dont give it up without a fight,

[beautiful_FrEaK]

^maybe the SC Hawaii Denim

[Walt Thizzney]

uniqlos falling apart

[Double 0 Soul]

^maybe the SC Hawaii Denim

I will give you that, Here,s mine.

Bit more of a greenish cast, richer in colour, Suffered less hip flare in my experience. Supposed to be the same cut but felt more tapered to the knee.

yeah I read somewhere that the Oki is a Levi's 47 and the Hawaii is a Lee cut...other sources say they are basically the same

eternals x BIG, pushing 2 years of moderate wear and a wash every few months. Here are two pics of it against the hardwood floor and a colored rug. For some reason my camera does this automatic color adjustment. The hardwood floor pic is the clearest but it's not accurate in color, the camera darkens it. I think the colored rug confuses the camera and keeps it from messing around with the true color:

and the back:

and a closer look:

You can get crotch blowout if you have big thighs that rub together, even if the jeans aren't that tight. It's friction, pure and simple. Conversely, a skinny fella can wear very tight jeans without a blowout because his legs don't rub and there's no friction on the denim.

i know i am bringing this up like three months late, but i have huge thighs and very premature crotch blowout is unavoidable. it has happened to me on cuts ranging from skinny to loose. does anyone else here happen to have a thigh that is noticeably larger than the other? my right thigh from soccer is about two inches bigger around than my left and it generally completely fucks with the fit of any pair of jeans. i haaaate it and there's basically nothing i can do about it.

[TooAwesome]

you can always do bulgarian split squats and bring up the left leg to size

Sorry for the low-res but I figure I ought to share as they're about unwearable now.

Left Field High Slub(Kuroki). Got these 2010 and wore them through to about June 2012. 1 wash per season.

Definitely got my money's worth of wear and memories in these.

This was like 3 months in.

About a year of wear.

2 years.

[noobedloser]

Update: 1 year and 2 months, 1 wash, 3 soaks.

The yellowish stuff on the whiskers is rust, want to get rid of it cause it looks like curry or poop sometimes.

Patch came undone and had these repair by SELA about 1 month ago but need more repairs now.

Looks better under direct sunlight and I hate stacks now

for a guy who has access to so much insane denim , i find it waaay impressive that he dedicates so much time to one pair (or maybe sharing with another pair over the course of 2years). it must get really tempting at times, or maybe you get, shall i say, desensitized to all that amazing denim in your shop. truly amazing SG's tho.

[thebrik]

wore these for about 8 months solid

one soak, one sea wash, one hurricane soak (tied them to a pole during hurricane sandy) and one machine wash

lighting kinda sucks, but color is fairly accurate

Pre final wash

for some reason two circles formed over my right knee

Post final wash

reason for retirement

2nd pair of raws, turned out better than I expected

lolwut.

[thebrik]

they've been on the edge of retirement since I got them, they were only meant to be worn until I could do a real fix on my previous pair of jeans and thought "well, might as well do something if the powers gonna be out for two days"

[jus schilling]

one soak, one sea wash, one hurricane soak (tied them to a pole during hurricane sandy) and one machine wash

amazing.

I expect it's not completely mysterious to you where those came from. I personally have no idea where they could be from, but those sorts of fades aren't usually unnoticed when they happen.

[thebrik]

it is an absolute mystery, one day I just looked down and there they were. the same thing sort of happened at the whiskers on the same leg

it's less noticeable, but it's there

[aho]

^I'd have to imagine it's a "flaw" in the fabric itself? Pretty cool/interesting IMO, modern day loom chatter if you will lol
