@mandel9000 does it the best. Although she is cheating because she doesn't have a muffintop.

 

Yeah my muffin does this shit naturally. It's a force of nature.

Excited to see the results of this. I want to put some painted arcs on my pair but so far haven't had a lot of success with the stencils I have practiced with. 

Really?? Mine say in "Preparing to ship" for like two weeks. 

Oh shiiiit! A little denim teaser for when I have some more time to take pictures. 

I say what is there to lose? A good story and a goal? You might get some unique fades or might even make them fit! 

@Least Weaselanother great fit.

Good find—how long have you had them for? Looks like you've put in a good amount of wear already

The wear is what came with them. Just got them. But I am fairly sure they were worn raw with no washes. 

Such a good fit. I've just been wearing around the house and it'll be hard going back to a more narrow fit.

Looking good^

It doesn't mean anything, just some internal manufacturing code i think..

Okay good to know. Thanks! 

So in my looking for a pair of M41030s I came across this lightly worn pair of M41001s in my size. As this big is hard to find, I snagged them up. And by lightly worn, I don't think these things had ever touched water. The fades were brown-tinged when I received them and no puckering or shrinkage looked to have occurred. I gave them a hot wash for sanitary and shrinkage reasons and they came in a BUNCH. Thank goodness because even I was swimming in them. Fit is awesome also, flares out at the hips then it drops STRAIGHT down. 

Look at that marbling!

I've seen several letters on the same design. e.g. M41001C, M41001H, etc.

Look at that marbling!

Man I am tickling with excitement. Can't wait.

Me too, i didn't really want to buy anymore jeans...but as i said to j-w a few days ago "the devil currently has the upper hand on the angel"

Me neither. Up till this point, I was a strict buy to wear kind of guy, about one pair every 2-3 years. I enjoy wearing and aging process. So these pair will be the firsts that I don't have a defined timeline on when I will actually wear. But I just couldn't help it. The opportunity to get my size in deadstock condition was too good. They'll stay dead until I can dedicate time to them. 

Lol me too! I snagged the size 35 M41030s uncontested as well! I was very surprised it didn't go beyond the one bid. 

I had my eye on those Leepros @julian-wolf. Battled with myself the whole length of the auction. Glad they went to a good home. 

Unreal set of deadstock that was. 

@beautiful_FrEaK triangle head had me do a double take. Perfect fit.

I'm gonna put this here so I can say "I called it" ten years later...

Out of all the Japanese denim brands Sugar Cane is going to be the one where the rare and early models end up going for big money down the line.  No brand from Japan has really shown us that their older products are worth much more than retail, but it think that may change over the next few years with Sugar Cane leading the pack.  

The idea of the fashion "archive" may leak into Japanese denim and Sugar Cane's system of putting out new models in limited numbers which are still somewhat similar to the rest of their line is primed for collectability. 

I totally agree. And to tack onto this, no other brand has shown such a breadth of mastery of fabrics, dyes, fits and ingenuity over the life of the brand. It's truly incredible to see what they brought to the table era after era.
