Sugar Cane Denim

[pacosdad]

I hate to ask a fit question, but I've read so many pages my eyes are crossed.

I'm considering the Oki in size 31. According to measurements posted by SE..verified by the seller....the thigh is roughly going to be 11.6". I measured my PBJ 007's and they are 11.5"...and pretty tight on me. All the pics and things that i've read show the Okis to be loose and relaxed. Do I need to worry about the 11.6"??

Thank you for your help!

^ if you check BIG's measurements on the thigh of 31 in oki's it isn't so bad.

No. Thigh measurements on SCs can be misleading because they don't take into account all the excess denim in the back due to the anti-fit seat.

I saw that, too...but the measurements that the seller is giving me match those of SE. I'm not sure why there is such a huge difference in sizing between the two sites???

This is my first pair of SC..I'm hoping that i can fill out that seat..lol. My thighs will definitely fill the legs. I've pretty much talked myself into the size 31's.

This was my first model of jeans. After my first pair got stolen, I've put more effort into these. I forgot they were lht until I compared them to my 811s. The koi in the back pocket protect the denim from being eaten through by my wallet. I love these jeans.

These are size 31 and stretch out a bit. I wouldn't worry too much about the thigh's being tight, esp if you have the 007s.

^thanks scoki! I was a little concerned about my wallet eating thru the back pocket. it didn't take long before a hole started in my 007's. By looking at your pics..do you have a wallet that has a coin or something as a snap? the back pocket lining protects the denim...no damage to the lining??

on edit: those are looking great btw!!

Yeah, I have a KC wallet with a snap that gives the pockets heavier wear. As you can see, I had to patch up my 811s and resew the pocket. I personally like the way it looks. The lining inside the pocket of the okinawa's will protect it for a bit but not forever. Mine are still holding up just fine.

[pacosdad]

That looks exactly like my Corter. I hate to destroy that wonderful lining though. although, I will say...the wear on these looks 10 times better than it does on my 007's.

scoki--you said these are tagged size 31? what did they stretch out to...32"?

sc40401a after a little over a year and 6 or 7 washes?

[Curious_George]

Wow, I thought my Hawaii's were coming along. I like how irregular the fading on Hawaiis is.

[pacosdad]

all.gravity.....wonderful verticals on those!

[brainmonster]

I think a black version of hawaii/okinawa would be interesting and maybe give an original look because of the unusual fade pattern...if it could fade properly for an already stubborn jean.

why do some pairs of Okinawas have the purple tag that says Made in Japan?..is it only on the raw pairs?

u need a piece of sugar cane in your mouth like a sugar cane farmer

[Derek916]

would it look weird to get a taper on the '47's? i was thinking of buying a 34 waist but getting a taper to around 8.0-8.2 as i want more of a stacking look...normally would go with a diff brand like skulls but i hear this denim is very unique

[daveo]

They will still be HUGE in the top block...IMO they need to stay as is. Take a look at the 66 model though, they have a smaller leg opening.

[iamstarwars]

I think it doesn't make any sense to do that with a pair of 47s. The cut is the complete opposite of what you would wear if you want stacking.

I have to agree. sugar cane is best to wear as is. no modern here.

Not all of the denim is made with sugar cane...only certain models. If you want a slim fit jean from sugar cane check out the colab models at selfedge, there's one made of okinawas and one of the 1955 denim. I don't know if they are tapered but they probably have measurements.

[iamstarwars]

It's very intereting to see all the denim types together, although I'm sure the way they are located on the jeans certainly influences the way they fade. All beautiful, yet different.

Horizontal falling? Bery nice. And Pete those pre-suit 'canes are nice.

My Okinawas got their first real wash at 60°C after 8 months :

The inseam shrank about 1",everything else stretched back within a day of wear.
