Sugar Cane

^thanks for that!

[Chris]

I finally took the plunge and bought a pair of Okinawas.  Since I haven't worn any denim less than 18oz for about 3 years now, they feel weirdly thin and light.  However, since summer is coming with a vengeance, I think I'll get over that pretty quickly.  So here are the initial fit pics, for those of you who like that sort of thing.

Front… hey, what the hell is my neighbor doing?

[Seul]

How's the rise on these C?.. Man they look great… Seriously...

Also: have you lost weight?.. (And can I buy you a drink?..)

[Chris]

Yeah, they're definitely more of a "traditional" rise.  They're higher than I'd like, but they aren't so high that I feel like I'm buckling my belt around my ribs.

If I've lost weight, it's from all that dancing.

Chris, the answer to your SUFU question on the patch. I wore mine to work+cycled+weekend (yeah I basically lived in them), for around 1.5 years and the patch held up fine. Didn't even coat it with oil

Chris looking good mate . Did you get,the drink from Seul yet ? What was your neighbour
doing ?

[Seul]

He was being jealous.

[Anesthetist]

I really like the looks of those. I've looked at them before but I remember them having short inseams which wouldn't work for me. I will have look into that again as Snowy's pair is inspiring.

Oh Mist,
i need some sugar cane!

[501IH]

Yeah, they're hot stuff. I would be very tempted by this very model in my size as well…...ideally well worn in.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Aber hallo!
You should definitely try to get a pair and check them out

[501IH]

Well, easier said than done! Whenever a pair comes up to begin with (rare occurrence!) it's usually way too big for me. And there's a price issue as well…... Guess I have to be VERY patient on this one.....

Sugarcane are among the cheapest of the Japanese brands. But I agree, if you don't plan to pay retail it's hard to find the right pair

I'd prefer the firs one as I dislike the loud details of the Union Star models.
I'm sure you can still get them cheaper from Japan

I'm selling these. Too big, sized too ambitiously. Pictures not mine but they are brand spanking new and tried on only.
