I was in Clutch Cafe two weeks ago and was met with… drum roll… Nothing but complete indifference! 
but then I’m not “big” on social media, so serves me right I guess

Sugar Cane - Self Edge BSPOW Jeans - Tag 36 for Sale. 

Fit approx 34” waist - will measure on request. Hemmed to 33” by self edge. They Run a bit small to Tag size. 

Lovely jeans, fabric and cut etc - soaked twice, worn twice.

Mint condition, as new. Just a bit too big for me. 
 

RRP on these is $280 I’m asking $200 + your choice of shipping. 
 

Dm for details.  Thanks
 

@Double 0 Soul This just confirms my disdain for people (in the ‘style’ business) generally

They are lovely! I bought one from VP.. maybe 10yrs ago when they were first released.. it was a repro'd from the original which was on loan from John Chapman at Goodwear... i sold it to sugar mountain years ago in a jacket purge.

 

Think I bought mine about the same time for what seems like Pennie’s at the Mccoys store in Tokyo. Around half of the retail now. It was a really good shopping-in-person experience. 
 

that’s back when mccoys were expensive, but pre-astronomical price boom we have now. 
(gets worn about 5-8 times a year)

Yup.. fwiw, i think McCoys outerwear is top notch

I’ve got an amazing Zielinski  if you’d like to see how good it is

How accurate would it be to say that Ferrari paints cars? 

I really wouldn’t  be able to disagree with that statement…

That’s kind of an understatement I think. They grow indigofera, make true natural indigo dye and dye with it. All in house. Some of the cotton for their products is also grown in house as I understand it, but perhaps I’m wrong. 

Sure. You can expand on my statement. But it was a fairly accurate.

I've been considering getting another black pair, and those 601b's look like a perfect cut.  However, I've checked all of the sites I can find and nobody has them in stock (or maybe 1 size that isn't mine).  Do any of you know if that was a limited production or a standard production that is just due for a restock? Has anybody seen a store lately with pairs in the size 34 or 36 range in stock? 

Also, is there a difference in the cut between the 601b and the 601rb? Or is the denim the only difference? 

I was told by the Hoosier guys that the 601rb wouldn’t be back until the spring. 
I was also hunting for a 33 or 34.

Hi. I’m in the UK. I just received a (Sag Harbor) shirt that I ordered from Desolation Row. I was very pleased with the service (and love the shirt). I’m curious why people order through Hoosier / Seiichiro, who, from what I gather on here, buys from Desolation Row himself. Cheers

He might buy wholesale from Desolation Row. We’re not paying over Japanese retail price, so how else would they make profit? 
 

I use Hoosier because they’re very easy to communicate with, very helpful with questions and sizing and will source items if you ask too. 
Basically a very good store run by friendly people.

Looks like you had to size up a bit there. Do they come up very small?

They do. I’m typically a size 34 - with a 33” waist. These are a tad loose, I think I could have gotten away with a tag 34 in hindsight, but they’ve not seen a warm machine wash yet, and I was recommended to go up.

Think they’ll see a bit more shrink yet.

Here’s a Reflection and Blunder for you…

I ordered a pair of Cane’s from Self Edge on 29th November 2022   and they’ve still not arrived. 
I can thank the Royal Mail for this Blunder…the Reflection is that I still want the jeans, so hey-ho, I suppose they’ll arrive eventually 

And they’re here - Delivered by Royal Mail on a Sunday - they’re catching up with the backlog which is impressive. 
I like the fit and details, maybe should have had more hemmed off? Currently drying from a soak.

Shipment from Self Edge is at the top of my list of slowest ever, it took about three months 3 or 4 years ago. There's probably no point in mentioning that the actual measurements of the jeans (it was The Strike Gold, which I had to sell) were seriously smaller than measurements listed on the website. Kiya promised a discount on my next purchase, but over the following years I never bothered to order again from them.

I’m sorry to hear about that. 
Just to clarify- this isn’t a situation that’s Self Edge can control at all. It’s related to strike action by union members of the Royal Mail here in the UK.

Final purchase of 2022 completed…51’s and a Navy Athletic sweat….why not eh?

I just bought the Mr Bongo’s vinyl reissue of 

Modulo 1000’s -1972 album -Nao Fale Com Paredes

it’s absolutely nuts! Amazing 70s experimental Brazilian Psych rock

playlist here: or it’s on Spotify too

If its made in China then its neither rare or that collectible - i'd pass based on that alone. Plenty of made in USA models about.

was recently recommended deepl.com recently for a French to English translation by a lawyer/notary; definitely had more nuance than google for those languages; not sure of Eng>Japanese in that program, but just in case in helps yr pants purchases...

The Deepl.com Japanese>English seems to be very good. 
Thanks for the recommendation

56 is more tapered

Thanks. 

Can someone describe the headline differences between the 601xx 1951 vs 1956? 

Im certain this has been covered but please humor me

I like the look of the 51 already
