SugarCane 1990's M-Series Archive

[chicote]

I got these a few weeks ago and have hardly had them off long enough to get good pictures, but here are a few. Size 29 M41057, at this point my favorite pair of M-Series jeans that I’ve gotten so far. The fit is perfect!

 

A couple pics from a hike to an alpine lake earlier:

^ Hell yes! Top top notch

I was wearing mine last night too—although I’m thinking about graduating these from climbing pants into the regular rotation, and switching to climbing in the M41059

First real day in the M41059

I always assumed these were the same denim as the M41058, but I don’t think that’s the case. They look very similar, and feel similar when raw, but after a wash these feel a lot more crunchy & rougher than I remember the M41058 feeling; I think they may have also shrunk more, although I didn’t take any measurements this time around to confirm. My best guess is that they use the same (or a very similar) initial denim but that the version for the M41058 is sanforized, while the denim for the M41059 is either fully unsanforized or only lightly sanforized. Can any Wrangler history buffs comment on whether this shift would check out from a historical perspective? In any case, really looking forward to seeing how these age in comparison.

@julian-wolf those are probably my favorite jeans they’ve ever made. Great score and fit.

It’s a good page isn’t it!

Are you still after a 60/40 mountain parka @julian-wolf ?

Check this out.. might be one size too small.

@Double 0 Soul Thanks for the tip, good memory

I’m still after one in principle, but I’d be an XL (at least) and as far as I can tell they only ever made XS–L. I actually did go out on a limb and buy one used in size L around a year ago, just on the off chance they were cut large, but if anything the opposite is true, and it came up comically small.

Since then, I’ve come close a few times to buying the Battenwear version—for whatever reason that’s the modern take that’s spoken to me the most—but never pulled the trigger.

M41057 update

Planning on transitioning these from mostly climbing use to regular wear and switching in the M41059 for climbing

Love the shade of blue this fabric gets to

Deadstock size 28 M41001 for under $100 for anyone in smaller size!!!!

[Double 0 Soul]

Wow! ..amazing price, surely someone must have a wife or girlfriend with an upcoming birthday?

[chicote]

I can technically squeeze into them but it wouldn’t feel right.. those are destined for someone who’s a proper 28

[Double 0 Soul]

They shrink from tagged so a 27 would probs be more suitable.

[yung_flynn]

^ that sounds right to me. I can comfortably squeeze into a size 31 in modern 1947s and would also probably be happy in a 32. I’m happy with how my size 33 pair of M41001s fit although I probably could also make a 32 work. The size 33 oscillate between 15.5-16.5” laid flat between wash and wear. 
 

I’ve really been liking my 41001s. The denim and cut are very nice

Some M-series jackets (Type 1 and 2) from the linen patch era if anyone can make a 51 cm chest work. Sleeves seem a little short though unless they are measuring armpit to cuff

Thank you for posting this - snagged the 507. Will put some pics up once it arrives

[Double 0 Soul]

Congrats!

I think they both look great.. comparing their sizes to mine.. i'd say both^ jackets are size 38 albeit, they do tend to run big.

[okimoto]

@Double 0 Soul Good to know! I compared the measurements to my FW S601 in 36 and the Sugar Cane's measurements seem to align well in terms of fit. Shorter in the body and arms, wider in the shoulders and chest

[Double 0 Soul]

@okimoto can you post actual measurements when it arrives please?

I know the neck label has worn away and the seller says "Size Not Specified" but the size is also / often printed on the nylon label hiden away inside the chest pocket.. either they don't know or sometimes it can be just the product code without the size.. you'll find out when it arrives.

I was eyeing that a bit, alas it seemed a little small for me. Nice pickup. 

[okimoto]

M11027

Shoulders: 42cm (listed as 44cm)

Chest: 50cm (listed as 51cm)

Sleeve from arm opening: 56cm (listed as 57cm)

Back length: 52.5cm (listed 53cm)

No size markings left on patch

Single sided pocket tag - no text on back or mention of size

Body and sleeve length are good but extra width would have been nice. At rest the shoulders are okay but I could use a few extra cm mobility-wise

[chicote]

Hey, that’s exactly my size…. just saying 😛 that fit looks good though layered over a tee and the denim’s such a nice shade of blue! Looks really good with those jeans. Great pickup!

[Double 0 Soul]

It looks perfect @okimoto .. i think your synopsis is spot on, these jackets do tend to look better in photos when they're a little more fitted but that doesn't usually equate to comfort, especially when you're bending over and they ride up at the back, if it's had a recent wash, it might gain a cm here and there.. 

The size is always on a neck label.. it's thick and uncomfortable so folks cut them out.. you can just see remnents of yours to the right of the patch.. the other size label which i was referring to..

..is sometimes found here.. alas, missing from yours.

Thanks for the sizing

The M11026 (506) version still seems to be available. I think that it's more or less the same size

[chicote]

^ Thanks for looking out! I have a m11026 already that I got a couple years ago, one of my favorite jackets! Whoever is reading this and can fit in the one that’s still for sale should definitely get it, it’s a beautiful and versatile jacket.

[ATWM]

Given those measurements what’s our guess? I’m gonna say 36, unless SC sizing has changed a good bit since then. @chicote I was considering and wanting it to work, but it’s just past the point of obvious I shouldn’t

Edited August 28, 2025 by ATWM

[Double 0 Soul]

I'd say 36 too.. i can swing a 38 or a 40 in these.. 38 over a tee which looks better but i wouldn't be able to wear a sweatshirt underneath or a 40 for a more trad / comfy workwear look.. i would never be able to shoehorn my ass into the one above.

Same. Actually the only 40 I've had from SC is the '46 junky I got from you, which is probably one of my best fitting jackets. (I had a 38 in the '53 but sold it). I feel a bit cursed because in general I need the sleeve and torso length of the 38 with the chest and shoulders of the 40, but sometimes things line up well enough anyways. Or I just don't move my arms as much ha.  

[Double 0 Soul]

Have you posted a fit pic of that Junky 46 jacket?

Sorry if I’ve missed it, Ive been in and out of the waywt thread this year.. mostly out 

[okimoto]

36 I’d reckon, for this and the Type 1 Flynn had posted

I' actually not sure. There's no real logic behind when I post other than I find myself with a quiet moment in the day. Will try to do that soon (or do it again?).
