    Not sure if they are 1 wash or unwashed, got em second hand. If I had to guess I would say 1 wash.

    They've been professionally hemmed. Inseam measures 29". The denim has only been worn a few times. No fading, creases, or wear. Denim is rich with indigo, ready for you to break in and make them unique.

    Has the red tab intact and back pocket arcuates!

    Japanese selvage denim is regarded by denim heads and experts as the cream-of-the-crop and Sugar Cane selvage denim is the creme de la creme. Sugar Cane/Buzz Rickson's Vintage Selvage Denim Jeans are for those who can appreciate the myriad of nuances and character found in the finest single-malt scotch, the clearest, most-colorless diamond or a hand-crafted, centuries-old oriental rug. Manufactured from the finest double ring-spun Zimbabwe cotton (considered the finest in the world for denim manufacture), these were the premium, authentic, heavy-weight, selvage-denim dungarees worn by real cowboys and laborers in the first half of the 20th century, back before there were “jeans.” America seemingly lost the desire to manufacture dungarees true to their original ancestry somewhere in the late 1960’s. Both the original fit and denim type of such classics as Levi’s 501 XX dungarees and Lee’s 101B’s continue to be further diluted to this day, whereby only the style names remain unchanged. The name, ”jeans”, has become the vernacular for faux denim fashion wear that masquerades as the tough, classic waist overalls history made famous. You see, “dungarees” are what John Wayne and Gary Cooper wore when fighting off Indians and bad guys. Dungarees are what Marlon Brando and James Dean wore when fighting off girls. And it was dungarees that were worn when the depression-era farmer fought off the bank, the wartime steel worker welded the ships of victory and Mr. Jones entered the army. Sadly, all we have today are “jeans,” until now…

    Sugar Cane has masterfully recaptured the true color, look, fit, feel, quality and durability of the famous 501 XX selvage-denim dungarees of 1947. This is even more significant today for devotees of the 501 style, as the 501’s have yet again just been revised and modernized in cut, thus further distancing them from the originals. The 501 XX ’s of 1947 were basically just like the pre-war 501 XX’s, as the critical materials and styling details banned by the War Production Board in 1942 were lifted for clothing manufacture in 1946. The selvage-denim dungarees of the “good old days” are slightly higher-wasted, fit looser in the seat and had a straight-leg design commonly called the “stovepipe.” Denim was really tough back then and, when new, rather rigid (for those who want dungarees a bit softer than unwashed, please order one-wash finish). The shuttle looms that fabricated the selvage denim were more narrow and vastly slower than the high-speed looms of today, producing a totally different weave and texture within the fabric, as well as a different selvage edge. It is this older, selvage denim type that gives the vintage selvage-denim dungarees their interesting and totally unique character-rich look once they are worn and faded from use (this worn-in look is available new from the factory for those who desire this look immediately – see Sugar Cane’s hard-washed denim on this web site). Likewise, it is the slower shuttle looms and quality of denim employed that make these selvage-denim dungarees more costly than those made of inferior denim on the high-speed contemporary looms so ubiquitous in today's dumbed-down society of mediocrity. Virtually every styling detail and nuance of 501 XX’s has been duplicated, including the famous hidden pocket rivets. However, for obvious reasons, the “Levi” name on buttons and labels cannot be duplicated, nor can the arcuate pocket stitching, which is a Levi brand protected trademark. Sugar Cane dungarees are like a resumption of the production of a long-lost classic rather than a reproduction or copy. Take note of these authentic features and details found only on a premium, selvage-denim dungaree of this pedigree.

  3. kinda regret selling mine. especially at the insane price i got it at. but 2 other jeans is enough to keep my legs occupied full time. after i see some of these babies broken in all nice i'll probably cave in and buy a pair.

  4. dope epiphone amp...how much did it run you?

    the speaker cabinet was $129. the eminence speaker inside of it sounds as good as a nice celestion. it's perfect for guitarists looking to upgrade to a tube amp but are on a budget.

    you can buy the head and amp together and its cheaper ($249)

    more bang for your buck than anything out there. and there's an assload of cheap mods you can do to it to make it even better.

  5. to make a gallery i think you'd have to go beyond the dry/selvage break in process and also display the different styles and colors of denim, denim that has hand painted artwork on it, basically all forms of denim, not just our niche. this will give more diversity and interest to people who dont know or care much for raw denim.
