Sugar Cane's new arcuate plan

[Crillz]

Pentagram stitching ftw.

Well, if we're going to splatter ideas off the wall like someone bent over forcibly expelling an enema, I'd suggest a lazy S and a lazy C on the seam like the R on 45rpms.

i've always been partial to lazy letters on my ass...

Just to give this thread some perspective, as I understand it, Toyo in Japan received a polite request from Levi's sometime in 2006 (possibly via History Preservation) and as a result ceased having any back pocket stiching on their entire line commencing August 2006. No arcs but tabs remained.

This I think is a little known fact because it seems Japanese retailers stocked SC's models so heavily that many purchases long after 08/06 featured both tabs and arcs.

Perhaps now they're yearning for a visual logo to give them some identity. Whatever the case I really cannot understand the sentiment of dissapointment on this thread - perhaps some of us have yet to learn the strangely satisfying virtues of a seam ripper. fwiw as far as I am concerned if the stiching on the back is not an arcuate or a design strongly resembling it then the pockets are best left blank. None of the variations I've seen float my boat at all.

I agree. I prefer the Levi's copy (Old Sugar Canes and Samurai). If not that then blank. There is enough area for company branding on the waist patch or maybe on the coin pocket like Studio D'artisan.

I have a pair of Union Stars, I like them, but no i would not like to see them on every pair of canes..

realistically speaking though, the stitching of the stars began to fall apart in about a month or so, I actually like the worn out star now..

the stars are just way too big and loud in the first place if you ask me and might not go down too well with the older heads or denimheads who prefer something simpler/less loud.

but again, having it on every single pair is just plain overkill me thinks.

the star will eventually wear away, if you are as hardcore as you think you are
