I just got my pair of Sugarcane SC40400.....

[imisssefler]

and i'm not sure what exactly to do. the waist fits pretty nice but the legs fit somewhat baggy, which i can live with but everytime i touch them my hands turn blue. plus, my car has dark brown seats which i'm sure will get stained. should go sit in a warm bath with these and wear them till they dry or would they loose a lot of the color?

[ringring]

Congrats on the Hawaii's. Don't worry about losing colour if you decide soak them, there'll be still plenty of colour left.

[imisssefler]

thanks. if i decide not to soak will they eventually stop bleeding so intensely?

all in all though, nicest looking denim i've ever seen. also, anyone know what's the deal with the scarf or whatever that thing is? i got one with my other sugarcanes too. maybe i'll use it to protect my car seats.

Hey Ring, does sugar cane make other fits of thier jeans other than reproduction of vintage Levis? I want to know if they have a nice slim fit ,similar to Nudie slim jims.I see they have a 66,but i think the thigh is stil little baggyt for slender guys. If you can recommend me other nice japanese brands that have that fit, much appreciated. Thanks.

[soleindahole]

hah,yeah they come wiht that scarf, use it however you want. oh if you have tyime,can you post photos modelling the jeans for us. I dont think anyone here actually owns or posted the hawaii's. thanks

after the first rinse,shouldnt bee too bad. i think the dye is natural indigo too?

[adsurgo]

thats awesome that it fades when you touch it.

next time i have a camera handy and a friend who wont judge me, i'll take some pics. i don't know if i want to see what my ass looks like through a camera though.

[tangerine]

Congrats, man, those sound nice!

Did you order your regular waist size?

And if you don't mind, where did you get them?

[docdoom]

pics pics, are they the ones on rakuten?

[aitsuka]

wow thats crazy!!! smudges when you touch it!!! actually I am little afraid too.

-don't hate, appreciate-

[imisssefler]

I wear a 36 normally but bought a 38 because the site I ordered from said they shrink. so that probably explains why they're baggy. i have the Awa's as well but in a 36 and they aren't super slim but not really baggy in any way. I'll take pictures myself later this week, my girlfriend refuses to take any for me because she thinks it's 'weird'. haha, anyway i ordered them from http://www.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/119706/256094/257746/ and they are actually a little lighter in color in person.

what's front rise? if you mean crotch, i have no clue. if you mean length i think they're 36 but its not written anywhere i've seen on the jeans.

[ringring]

Eventually, yes.

I don't think they do anything as skinny as Slim Jims. Actually the Hawaii's are reasonably slim, like a 47 style cut. For a skinny pair of Japanese jeans try Lad Muscian.

i think the dye is natural indigo too?

Yes. I'm told the indigo is cultivated in Hawaii, hence the name. The jeans themselves are made in Japan.

thats awesome that it fades when you touch it.

All dry jeans will do that to some extent. Try some Denime's for smurfing!

I wear a 36 normally but bought a 38 because the site I ordered from said they shrink.

Hmm. Those should shrink to tag size (and maybe stretch out again an inch depending on high tight they are on you). I'd recommend buying true waist size in 'Canes.

What's the front rise measurement on your Sugarcanes,

Let's say a size 32, front rise should be a little over 11" and back rise a little over 15". Again, similar to LVC 47s.

[sriracha hot sauce]

Did you order off a middleman japanese service like celga?How much did they cost

Sick jeans man.

Edited by sriracha hot sauce on Sep 29, 2005 at 02:13 AM

[imisssefler]

I ordered the jeans through www.bid-service.jp and everything together ended up around $370. I'm sure Celga would have been cheaper but I don't like them, so I didn't use them. anyway, here a few pictures.

The Hawaii's and Awa's

Edited by imisssefler on Sep 29, 2005 at 08:51 AM

[soleindahole]

Were those jeans auctions that you won or are they retail price, i thought the hawaii's alone is like close to 300? and the Awas are like 200? Correct me if im wrong. pz.

[soleindahole]

Ring ring, so you said getting sugar canes in true waist size. Are all thier jeans being sold online are measured to shrink at the tag size? So if i get a size W32, depending on how they shrink. Theyll come in let say, W34 L36?

Edited by soleindahole on Sep 29, 2005 at 10:14 AM

[adsurgo]

damn i want those man. holy shit do they look good.

[giantreptile]

to sole: when ordering canes, it's like getting Lee jeans raw, order your exact size that it says on the tag. they are designed to shrink to that size after one wash and dry.

[soleindahole]

cool thanks.

both were from rakuten stores and were the same price, $280. after a few wears in both jeans, i think the awa's aren't any where near as nice as the Hawaii's.

[soleindahole]

yeah those hawaiis is definately not for weaklings.

So if you had to do it again, would you have ordered a size down?

From my understanding of some threads, the size 38s will shrink down to size 38. So I'm assuming that the Hawaii's are huge on you right now.

--- Original message by digital_denim on Sep 29, 2005 03:29 PM

Most likely, hopefully they'll shrink a bit in the width of the legs though, that bothers me more than a bigger waist. The thing that made me think the 38s would be a better choice was that my Awa's fit perfectly which made me think they might shrink to a 34.

[won ton destruction]

fuckin shit ... you're killin me postin pics ...

i better start saving my cigarette and booze money ...

[tyco]

I have a pair of the exact same jeans on the way to me right now from Celga. I was starting to kick myself for spending so much but those pictures make me think I'm definitely going to be happy once they arrive.

Thanks for posting and I may post my own review once they arrive.

[PG2G]

How much cheaper was Celga?

[spitzbrg]

imisssefler your jeans look beautiful!!

[soleindahole]

i think these cane hawaiis are one the hottest on the planet right now.imo
