    I've got a pair of 1966 on the way. First Sugar Cane jeans for me. I always tend to associate "66" type jeans with a low rise, roomy top block, and sharply-tapered leg, but this pair isn't like that at all. Actually, the fit is the whole reason I wanted these: since I usually tuck in my shirts nowadays, I find the rise on most jeans in my size (about 31" or so) disappointingly low for the purpose. This is maybe not surprising since I'm much taller than most people with a 31" waist. More "normal" proportioned guys of my height (about 6'3" / 191 cm) probably have a 34-36 waist. You go up to that size in any of the jeans I wear and you get 1-2" of additional rise. This would seem to make a big difference not just in terms of comfort, but also practical considerations like shirts I want tucked in, staying tucked in.

    The 1966 doesn't have as many fancy details as I'm accustomed to enjoying, like rolled belt loops, rolled back pocket edges, hidden rivets, and so on. But the fit in a size 30 looks dead on. Much longer rise than my other jeans, and a straight leg just a little slimmer in the thigh, with a very mild taper to a 20 cm hem that can easily accommodate my engineer boots. There's a good chance these end up being the best-fitting jeans I've ever worn. The denim is obviously pretty modest, but I suspect that with my typical infrequent washing routine they'd fade as nicely as my other pairs. Another bonus: it looks like the most recent run of these has a very long inseam, almost 36" in one-wash form, which is also quite appealing. These were also very cheap, at under $150. 

    At this point I care less about very ostentatious denim and details or exclusive features and would rather just have a pretty classic pair of jeans that fits just how I want, and I'm pretty sure these will do just that. Of course I'll share pics and impressions once they get here. Some other SC models like the Okinawa, Hawaii, and 1955 also seem like they'd be good fits, but the 1966 seems like the best place to start.

     

    good luck with your new acquisition. I like SC 66 very much. both fit and denim... I think you did good choice. denim of 66 is quite fast fader and in couple of weeks will be molded on your body as glow....

    My bad! 10.5. I thought I included that in the post, but I guess not. Just edited it.

    pity, I like them very much, but they are too big for me. In JF I need 10 ...

    John Lofgren Wabash engineer boots in Shinki horsebutt. Beautiful boots which unfortunately don’t work for my feet. $1100 plus shipping. Only worn casually a handful of times. Only real blemish is a scuff around the toe of the right boot, as pictured.

    I’ve been wearing my blanket lined 1953 pretty consistently lately and had to see if I could find my size in the corduroy SC15463. I found one left and got a deal so I couldn’t pass it up and as soon as I put it on I absolutely do not regret it. For me this is pure nostalgia as I used to wear a much crappier Sherpa corduroy type 3 in college. 

    I told myself no new denim this year, still going strong!

    Ahh no!

    Makes you wonder about the sheer numbers of jeans in cargo depots at any one time!

    EDIT: Have arrived in the UK and seem on track for tomorrow.

    And now I see, my package is in Malpensa Italy. So, tomorrow will come north ....

    Absolutely delightful reading - just the kind of numbers I was hoping for!

    Mine are currently sat in a DHL hub in Leipzig due to "adverse weather conditions" so not mega hopeful for them arriving tomorrow.

    Same as you. Leipzig "in hold"....
