Sugar Cane Denim

[infestedpeon]

^They are definitely not "pretty much the same". The denim used for each model are very different. 1947 is 100% cotton and the Okinawa uses 50% cotton 50% sugarcane fiber. They also have different back pocket stitching and different leather patches. They each fit slightly differently as well, in my opinion.

Thanks a lot for this answer, i noticed the difference about the patches and the back pockets. But after your answer i got 2 more questions : 1/Which denim composition is the best?I mean for fading, durability and what not 2/ I thought they were both straight leg cut, how their fits differs according to you? Thanks again.

np, there isnt a best, theyre both great in their own way, though the okinawa's denim is quite special. i havent seen many pics of faded okinawa's though, you might want to look that up, as well as the 1947's, in the xxx-gallery thread

about the fit, yes they are both straight leg but they fit slightly differently, if that makes sense. i think the 47 is a little more anti-fit on me because the thigh and rise feel looser, your mileage may vary!

Which pair of SC is a slim fit?

[Johnnylazar]

For slim fit go with the sexsc06. All the other models are pretty much repro fits so they are a little looser.

[heyitslando]

just got my my recycled denim sweet jeans in the mail yesterday! gonna throw up a couple fit pics soon

[TLCA]

Joweee I'd say the slimmest model they have are the sexsc02s, I'd go with those.

SC1966 is a pretty slim cut as well, and easier to find than the SExSC02.

Here're a few pics to flesh out this question a little better....

47's underneath, buckleback Okinawas ontop....

47's underneath (i.e. at top of photo), Okinawas on top (lower portion of photo)

Okinawas are slubbier, and more irregular. They have a scratchier feel when raw and have lots of little white puff-balls in the fabric. They are natural indigo dyed and typically have this or a similar back pocket and a snake skin patch. they fade to beautiful oceanic blues and will present nice vertical falling as a result of the grainier texture

Sugar cane's standard 100% cotton denim is a more sterile/flatter weave. No vertical streakiness or white puff's of weft thread popping through. They are a more accurate reproduction of 1940's american denim.... less interpreted...more faithful repro.

Anyone have fit or worn in pics of the SC 1966?

[grouse_allergy]

Thanks, Bill. Good stuff.

I have the SC Slack Denim. I would not call these slim but they are not as baggy as the Hawaii or the Okinawa's. The denim is very slubby.

^very interesting, a slim leg low-rise "1947 type 2". but from the description, it looks like the denim actually isn't the same. the original 1947 by Sugarcane is 14.5 oz denim, while this Type 2 version is 12 oz.

[fur]

hmmm is it Zimbabwean cotton though

[Johnnylazar]

It's supposed to be 12 oz instead of the 14.

[mr.invincible]

your 66 fit is similar to my evisu 2000 fit!

[opethrapture]

^^

That's because the 2000 cut is a 66 inspired cut

[Joweee]

Fades on canes are so unorthodox.

[snoppkaparN]

hmm I'm getting a pair of hawaiis, should I go for the one wash or no wash?

[opethrapture]

^^

Get the raw ones if you can find them!!

[snoppkaparN]

I think I will, it will be nice : )

[edmond]

[jstavrin]

Does anyone here own this? it looks pretty awesome.

[Turntabloid]

don't own it, but I definitely think about buying it!

[jstavrin]

Damn, I really want Okinawas but I really dislike the back pocket stitching. Has anyone tried to remove it and is it easy to do?

[snoppkaparN]

^^ I don't like the stitching on the okis either, looks weird with the green. But I don't think the stitching would be that hard to remove.
