Loving that branded patch - good nod to Lee.

Order placed for the Hinoya 50/50 Type III collab.

I went off of Self Edge's measurements for the 2014 as I wasn't sure what "wading hem width" and simply "width" referred to. I was able to match up most of the measurements between what Hinoya posted to SE's and I think these will  be a great fit.

 

I'll post up fit pics when they arrive.

I've always understood "wading" to be the thigh measurement. Unfortunately, it's often unknown where within the thigh region the measurement is taken.

My Okis.

My Oki's have a similar slub on the right thigh like yours haha

Here's my best attempt at some macros of the loom chatter/slubs in question:

So the Hinoya Specials have arrived and I'm pretty pleased with them. I finally got the sugar cane blend of denim in a slimmer fit...

 

I ordered a size 36, same as what I wear in the 2009 fit. Leg openings were still pretty large for being a "slim" fit, but overall they were what I was looking for.

Measurements as follows (no soak or wash yet):

Waist: 18.5" (this may have stretched a tiny bit, I had worn them a few hours before measuring)

Rise: 12"

Thigh: 12.75"

Knee: 9.5"

Leg Opening: 8.25"

I totally snagged these too. I have always wanted a pair of sugar cane's 50/50 denim but the fits they came in did not really work for me very well. I know I have too many jeans but I just had to pick these up. Gonna put these on Ice for a year or so while I work on the pairs I have in rotation right now. Had to grab a fit pic first though....

 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Great pick-up you 2!

Didn't expect the thighs to be that slim.

[pudaspriest]

yeah they are definitely slim, the waist is weirdly large however. I sized down to a 34 on these(normally do a 35 or 36) and I could probably have even gone down to a 33 as the waist is a touch loose. I wouldn't want them any smaller elsewhere however and I can just wear a belt to keep the waist from stretching any further. 

[givemefive]

are they 33" inseam like Hinoya says? SC stuff is always just an inch short :/

WoW!

'Agree__ nice fit guys

So, it's a SD1-2, then?

This is why I've tried, twice, to like the 2009 cut and sold them off. Hence, why I think they they were made for someone with a big belly and skinny legs.

sounds like they're made for me then! they're tempting indeed, but I don't need another pair...

can anyone compare sugar cane 2009 to 2014?

seems like the taper is a bit slimmer for 2014? is it noticeable?

 

i'm kind of irritated, i called in to SE for a recommendation for slim fit with a higher rise. i was steered to 2009, did not know 2014 existed but now i am thinking it would have been a better choice.

[kicks79]

Did they have the 2014 in stock ? perhaps thats why they didn't mention it.

Elmcitizen,

 

Have you soaked or washed these? Interested to know how much they shrank.

 

Thanks in advance.

seems like they have plenty from the website. maybe they don't carry these in the NY store? still, would have liked to have discussed the option.

No soak yet, I doubt they will shrink much. My 2009 did not change at all after a wash. I know the denim is different, but most of the "washed" SC jeans usually have all the shrink out.

 

Then again, not much experience with the 50/50 denim.

I have both and honestly I'd say the rise is almost the same in each and the difference in leg opening is very minimal.

That said, I also had Rail Car taper my 2009 pair so they had a taper similar to my SG5109 jeans and it made all the world of difference (and was cheap to boot!).

good info, cheers. any fit pics of your 2009s?

[elmcitizen]

I can confirm they are 33" (maybe a tiny bit longer, but I feel safe calling them 33").

I'll get fit pics of both pairs this weekend if the weather holds.

I washed mine over the weekend, not any shrinkage I can notice

[cusswords]

I think the Hinoya collab are only available washed. I'm vacationing to Tokyo in 2 weeks and I'm likely going to buy these jeans. I want to get away from SC, but these look to good to pass up. 

 

 

While I'm here... my 2014s at 9 or so months. 

 

 

And my '66s approaching 6 months. 

 

 

These are only starting to come alive, but with an upcoming trip to Tokyo and a move (back) to New Orleans these are going catch up to the 2014s very quickly. 

[Ciabatta]

Been living in 47's for the past month. They're the perfect jean.

[ironheartfan123]

how would you say the 2014 compare with the 66 with regards to fit and sizing? the 2009/2014 denim always seems to have great-looking fades!
