hi i got a gift of a pair of hawaii. i thought it was the one-wash version since that is what's readily available from big and selfedge (this pair was from singapore). but the tag says it's a SC40401N, which historypreservation says is the tag for the unwashed version.

i've measured the jeans and all the measurements are a bit bigger than the measurements on big's one-wash size chart (by 0.5 to 1 inch).

what do you think? is this indeed the unwashed version? the waist is perfect for me at the moment (measures at 33.1 inch for its tagged size 32 (big's one-wash size chart has the waist measurement at 32 inch), i haven't soaked it). i suppose if i cold soak it, it might shrink but will stretch back to what it is now.

so, should i soak it? would inside out be best for the hawaii?

thanks!

For SC, "N" represents non-wash and "A" represents one wash. Soak away!

[oomslokop]

thanks @schmallo15!

btw do you have to wring the water out of the jeans after you soak em? or just drip dry?

[darrenjc]

I'd just let them drip dry like I do with all of mine. If you are worried about shrinkage you might want to wear them while they're still wet to stretch it out a bit, but otherwise they will stretch back out after a couple of wears.

^If you're being real picky you can roll them up in a towel (make sure its not a color that will get bled on though) to get water out faster and then hang dry in front of a fan...Otherwise just be patient!

That's really great. Never seen this before, in pics or IRL, but I don't get to see a lot SC denim anyway.

[lance]

Absolutely fantastic! I wonder how much time was involved in those?

Unfortunately it doesn't say any time frame at all...Only that he wore them very hard at work and washed them very often!

Sc 47's

Arcs are almost completely gone

Tab is pretty beat too

Next to my backup pair

[beatle]

very nice...faded Canes have this really interesting blue

[onehundy]

I found some rainbow Oki's but there are 2 websites that are giving me different measurements.

One has Sz34 which measures 82cm( about 32 inches) across

The other has Sz34 which measures 86cm (33.8 inch) across.

Both are washed.

Can any of the owners help me out with some measurements?

[lance]

Hey onehundy - Size 36 O/W, after numerous washes, line dry and about 1 1/2 years of wear - As I recall, they were tag size when new but do stretch 1" or so with wear. Dimensions following a wash.

waist - 17 1/2

FR - 12

BR - 16

Thigh - 13 1/2

Knee - 9 1/2

LO - 8 1/2

Inseam - 33 1/2

[lance]

You are welcome, onehundy, and thanks for the rep. Best to ask the seller to measure a pair for you and then send the pair he measured; always works!

[oboy_oboy]

^ very nice! those look great. gonna have a nice long life. must spread.

Hey fellas.. just wondering about shrinking on my raw 1947's.. i did a good hot soak.. with a little agitation and I am currently fairly happy with the fit. However, if they shrunk a bit more, that would be even better. I am wondering if the 47's have "stages" in their shrinking? My roy's were treated the same way, worn a few months and so stretched out i thought i might have bought the wrong size.. warm washed them.. and yikes!.. i was amazed at the shrinkage! I am wondering if the 47's may be similar.. or if i will just buy 1 size down next time. Thanks!

[jstavrin]

They'll shrink more if you soak them again or wash them hot.

[scout233]

OK.. Maybe i will try a pair of raw 33's next time.. but so far I have had your experience tiger.. not a whole lot of shrinkage. But, i have heard stories from others that they could not button the top button after a hot wash. I think I will wear mine for another month, then give them a hot wash and see what happens. I really like this 47 cut because of the way they hang on my hips.. it is really nice to not have to wear a belt! It makes them my most comfortable jeans by far.
