Sugar Cane
-
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
-
any thoughts about this two:
-
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.

which shop would you recommend?
-
Looked yours up, Fergz, they would be too big for me as well, we're probably a similar size. Good luck with the sale.
If anyone happens to see a used Okinawa one (the kind b_F bought from Seul) in a W 30 or 31, I'd be very grateful for any lead! -
The short sleeve wabash is too good to resist. I just saw pics on IG and had to hit SE

Good luck tracking down the Okinawas!

How about the classic Okinawas at Ushowu 501? They still have them in a 31, raw. Not the same as b_F's but a good deal nonetheless.

Thanks Maynard, am even more tempted with the two other SCs they offer, since they are W 30s. But there are no measurements, and anyway I prefer used ones and ought to keep myself away from spending ATM.
One day a hard used SC for a friendly price will come along, I have a deep gut feeling about that. -

thanks BF!
-
And one month and 2 hot washes later… loving em!
-
They look so good with that HTC belt. Great look!
-
After talking to Charlie at History Preservation, I decided to buy a pair of raw Okinawa. I am still a bit concerned over the inseam, but they will only get a cold soak and a drip dry so I think I'll be alright. I originally wanted the Aloha denim, but I was put off by reported sizing discrepancies.

I hear you Summ3r… Super sweet shirt by the look of it. Am going for it myself next wek.. Might also pair it with the short sleeve Dobby you already got. You pics makes it hard to resist!
-
SC has too much good stuff coming out.
-
What length do you need? My Okinawas were one-wash and the inseam was 34.5.
-
At least a 33.5 but like 34, so it's reassuring to hear that yours were on the longer side. I have read anything from an inseam of 32.5 to 34.
