Sugar Cane
-
Hawaii uses RHT denim and the Okinawa uses LHT denim. The Okinawa is darker than the Hawaii. It's also said that the Sugar Cane fibers come from the name-giving island. But I doubt that.
Oh, and the cuts are slightly different but that could also be through natural variations from cutting&sewing
-
What he said. There is a noticeable color difference between the two with the Okinawa being darker and the Hawaii being bluer. I have Okinawas, some day I want to get some Hawaii too.

I've been eying both myself as I've been searching for a repro style Jean for 2017. I prefer the hem of the 1955 cut but I think the top block of the 1947 is more universally flattering. I have some Oki Denim coming in this week, so maybe I'll know Immediately know if I need more Oki denim in my life or if I should go for the Hawaii - HPA has then both cuts in raw or OW for 190+shipping (although their shipping is outrageous).
Anyways, figured I'd post some more pics of the 470 "fade to grey" as I've been wearing them this weekend since I needed a roomier thigh after a bad squat session haha [emoji23]
This was back in February when thy were still "black"
This is now - definitely more "grey" than anything else. Traintracks are crazy pronounced and a lot of Button fading on the fly. Indigo proof hemmed them so there is some decent roping as well.
I wish the denim didn't stretch so much because they are the perfect size for me out of the dryer. They will shrink to an inch under tagged size with a wash and machine dry.

Is there any out there who has an Sugar Cane Lot 303 Jeans Fiber Denim Indigo 16,5 oz.
The denim on those jeans is absolutely amazing. First time SC has made denim above 15oz too!
They're coming in a slim tapered fit in December. -

Since I will need to repair my 633s soon, I’ve been wearing my SC Okinawas
As I’m sitting around the airport, admiring my jeans, I just remembered how incredibly beautiful the Okinawa denim is. I need to wear these more often.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks mate. I really love the fabric and fit. 12 oz make nice summer jeans. Will need to hem them though.

Thanks @Appfaff - good to know

Sure thing Max - the thighs give a good bit. I washed and machine dried a lot and they stay a lot larger than they were from fresh (even though they were one washed from SC).

I chose my usual IH size I wore back then and they were slightly too big in the top block but wearable. Everything else is rather slim. Their denim is light and does stretch a lot if necessary. Though, sizing down could be tricky because then they can end up like jeggings. I think SE's sizing charts for the SC41470 do them justice but beware that every size except 38 comes with a relatively short inseam. As a side note: I really didn't like their sulphur smell which stayed even after 10+ soaks and washes.
