SugarCane 1990's M-Series Archive

Just purchased an M11026 jacket in very good used condition, it’s coming from Malaysia so will probably be a few weeks before it arrives. In the meantime, I’m wondering if any of the sugarcane experts here can say anything about the 13oz “extra heavy coarse weave” denim used in the jacket. I know 13oz isn’t quite “heavy weight” denim anymore but am hoping to use this as a work and motorcycling jacket come spring, and hopefully take the place of my thrashed Tenderloin carhartt repro. What relationship does the 13oz denim have to the 14oz “coarse weave” denim used in the M41001 (which I know has at least served @Double 0 Soulnicely in a work application)? I’ll be sure to publish my own findings when the jacket arrives; until then, thanks for any information!

 

edit: also wondering if anyone knows about the m41328 jeans? they are a black denim and they look m nice, but the seller claims they are 70% cotton and 30% rayon and I’m not sure if that sounds good or not lol.

The 13oz denim used for the M11026 is the same whiteline denim used for the M41030 (37 repro)

The M41001 uses 14oz pinkline for their later 47 repro

Thanks to both of you!! Looks like the m41328 are blue jeans under the black rayon coating? A little too weird to spring the cash for, but I’m glad to know about them.

And appreciate the info about the 13oz denim, I’ll do some reading about the m41030 then and update if I come up w anything new. Thanks!

Question for Neal:

It seems that many of the M series models have button backs with a code of 98. Does that indicate they were in production during or at least from 1998?

As my M41326 posted a few pages back have a button back code of 00, do you think that would indicate they were produced during or from 2000?

Yup.. the old MP- button backs (pre-91) were stamped with an S .. or at least the ones I’ve seen were.. MP-597, MP-603 ect.. the S button back carried on after the end of MP production into production of the 91-97 M-series of denim.. M41001, M41030 ect .. when the 1998 series started the 1st still had the S button backs, SC obviously still had stock so you often see the earliest versions of the 1st with an ‘S’ then the rest as far as I knew had 98 until your M41326 turned up..

I think it’s a reasonable assumption.. although I’ve never seen a 99 and I’d assume we would see more 00 if production of the 98 series continued for a few more years after the millennium until they were discontinued in favour of the SC47s.. 66s ect..

My m41101s have “S” buttons, and if I remember right, my old slack denim 40601s had 00 buttons, though I know those were from many years past 2000… is that possible? I’ll try and find some pictures to make sure.

Great pair from @diggers and with a 99 button back too! They’re the same as my M41326 just with a different button code so that could possibly mark the production year.

Oops, I think Neal spotted it first!

M41300 mentioned on the last page (98 button code)

Still haven't found the "4th" in my size, but those are now the only of the main '98 series that I'm still missing…

Not sure yet whether I'll start wearing these now or add them to the stack—the silhouette fits pretty well with what I've been enjoying recently, and I really, really like the constructional stitching on the back pockets

Great looking pair @julian-wolf, glad they arrived safely. What do you mean by the “4th”? What pair are they?

EDIT: just read page 1 and know what the 4ths are now!
