can anyone give thoughts/recommend sizing on the cat's paw chinos?
-
^ Yes, I can. I take the same tagged size in my Cat's Paw chinos as my 1947. The cutting is quite nice although the top block bunches up a bit for me as I move, rather than staying closer to the hip. This starts to bug me after a while because it means that the pockets flare out too and it doesn't look very clean. I have recently acquired a pair of Toys McCoys Steve McQueen chinos and they are a vastly superior trouser.
However, the CP are decent for the price. Note that they are made in China. This may or may not be an issue for you.
-
thanks sm! yeah, obviously I would prefer it MIJ but not a deal breaker. Honestly might not get them since it seems like the grey version of the fabric is dryer/rougher than other versions
did you pick the mcqueen in a size 33? I need a 32" waist and it seems like they run very small…
-
I wear a size 32 in the McQueen chinos: one size up from my usual. The 31 did button up but they were tight and I need a little more room to be able to wear the chinos for work with an oxford shirt tucked in.

I just received two Sugar Cane shortsleeve shirts from Hinoya. Purchase them late Friday evening and they arrived here in HK on Monday AM. Nice work Hinoya!
Essential wear for the sticky HK summer:
-
Nice pick up. Those look sharp.

Pretty amazing denim. Gotta be my favorite brand right now (behind IH of course). -
Yummy denim. I've got a lot of love for Sugar Cane at the moment too and there appears to be a revived interest in the brand on the message boards. My 1947s have been on the hanger since the start of May and I'm really looking forward to wearing them again once it cools down a bit here.

@Sugar:
there appears to be a revived interest in the brand on the message boards.
SC seems to wax/wane in interest. It seems to have more interest than I've read in years, back to the levels I was seeing around 2006-7 when I first got into the game. Their denim is always top notch/unique as, cuts/fits are great, and price is a dream. Really happy to see other people enjoying their denim.
Ane, so much slub&nep, with a rainbow of indigo there, delicious

Here are some pictures of my raw SC40601 slack denim I bought from PSA a month or two ago:
-
^^that slack denim is beautiful. Nice pickup. Im anxiously awaiting some sexsc06s
-
Loving the contrast with the arcs.
Not a ton if evo on my pair, but the creases are set and a little bright blue is coming in. Anybody have some beat up Okinawas for some inspiration?
-
Great photo. My understanding is that Okis take a while to show considerable evo but the wait is well worth it.

If you ask nicely, Snowy might take some more pictures of his…
I popped my Okinawa's out of the archive for a quick photo this afternoon. Really love this denim.
18 months of wear, 2 machine washes, 4 soaks.
-
Snowman, you are awesome. Can't wait to see some more pics of those beauties.
-
One of my regret sales, love Okinawa's.
-
Good thing, you can still get them whenever you are ready for them
-
It is, and I will at some point in the future (probably)
