getting jeans off ebay

[modagg]

yeah i found some a seller on ebay that is selling some sugarcanes and some other stuff. the prices are pretty nice and i really like the 1947 one wash. actually the even have the arcuate stitching on the back. i post a link to his store so it would be awesome if someone could give me some opinions on it.

Those are pretty cheap. What's the difference between the Okinawa and the 1947 in terms of fit and denim?

I think the 47's are all cotton, whereas the okinawa's are 50% cotton, 50% sugarcane. I own the okinawa's...very nice, super slubby, intense colour. They run a bit small imo, keep that in mind. Good price too!

Yea, their non sugar cane prices are the same as www.blueingreensoho.com and they're great guys and friends of the forum so i'd say go there. However, sugar cane became strict with US retailers this past year and won't let any of them mark down the products for some reason. I can't blame you for getting Sugar Canes for cheaper when you can, but for the other jeans they have like Eternal i'd go with BiG. I'm not really into the fit of the Okinawas or 47s myself, but the Okinawa denim looks fantastic up close from the pictures i've seen.

Thanks guys. I've been looking at measurements and different sites, and it seems like the 47s are slightly slimmer in the thigh and have a slightly higher rise than the Okinawas, with both jeans being similar from the knee down. I really have no idea how either cut would look on me, but it's a good price and I have an addiction that I really have no control over, so...
