I want a pair of those Hawaiian Denim, with the green line selvedge. But, 300+ is way too much to risk the gamble on sizing. From what Ive seen through Japansese sites, they are sick.

I have a pair of the 1947 repros and they are great. I have just ordered another pair that are just a little bit smaller in the waist. Order through history preservation, but if you are smaller than a size 31 then it may take some time, because they don't carry small sizes, but they will order them for you.

I remember you having two pairs of 1947s... which size did you get this time?

I ordered the one-wash size 31 from them. They should come sometime this week.

so what size do you order for the 1947's? I remember ring ring said to buy the regular size, it will shrink to that size, is that right? i wanna get a size 30/31 do they fit bigger?

tons of stuff for sale now on ebay: corpus, hollywood ranch, levi's premium, vintage etc.

Matt, you should've given me some loot, I was just in HK last week (now in Cambodia), and Take5 had a BUNCH...They're really nice, but I wasn't in the mood to buy ANY denim, I'm fucking sick of looking at denim at the moment, it's been consuming my life (and still is right now) for about the last 3 months...they even had your size (the "do they make these in men's?" size), haha....

[rnrswitch]

I ordered one size up last time, which was a 31 and it fits baggy, so this time i ordered my true size a 30. It is true that the label is the size it will shrink to, atleast that is my experience. You also have to remember that the first wash does not shrink the item completely if you are just soaking the denim in cool water and then hang drying them. A hard wash with hot water and a dryer will shrink the garment totally. I am sad to say this, but i like my sugarcanes better than my LVC 1947s. I think i am going to wear my baggy pair of sc1947s to work (i work construction) and just wear the hell out of them. Hopefully i can go a couple months without washing them!
