Sugar Cane Denim

[blm14]

I find sugarcane denim to be in general underrated. I have the hawaiis in both 50/50 and 100% natural and that denim is IMHO even nicer than the okinawa

the standard 47 denim is fantastic. it looks really irregular and hairy but not over the top like samurai. the color is great too. super dark.

I guess the next pair for me is the hawaiis. The draw for me in Sugar Cane was the 50/50 blend. so unique. But I have not seen the hawaiis in 100% natural.

agreed.

I agree, sugar cane in general is underrated. There shoulve been a sugar cane contest already..

hmmmm...a 1947 Type II cut with 50/50 blend...:eek:

I agree that the Okis are really underrated but I think most people know the denim is crazy but the fit doesn't work for them. I had a pair but they were just too big in the thighs and seat. I don't like slim, lowrise jeans but the 47 cut is a little much for me. But the denim was my favorite that I've ever seen for sure.

That would be the perfect jean for me. I'd stock up and buy every pair in my size and be set forever. Or something inbetween the type II and regular 47 cut would be even better.

true true.. my okis have taken some getting used to, especially the short inseam length. pretty comfortable and some crazy details: stitching, mabu snake patch, 50/50 blend, pocket bags.. definitely one of the coolest jeans

whoever said not to size down on sugarcane should be cane to death. i sized down on my okis and it was the best choice i ever made.

I have the Edo Ai and want to wear it but it's all single stitched so paranoid of busting threads on it. Wish I had an okinawa or hawaii to wear harder.

put some arcs on it and fuck im a happy camper.

and correction, it's habu snake skin.

^lol "mabu" = horse stance in chinese...errr nm I'm probably the only one who'd find that funny...

Seriously? I mean...really?

I've purchased from this Ebay seller before - keep an eye on his listings. He's got black 29's here now.

thats the guy I got mine from. I actually missed the first pair of 34/34 I was going to get, so I emailed him and asked if he would have anymore on ebay. he said he would within a week. sure enough he listed them. I would send him a question through ebay and ask if he has any 47s in a 29 or if he could get any.

edit: make that sz. 28

I think "unpopular" is a better word than underrated.

Me... I don't care about what's popular. My SC1947s are exactly what I was looking for. I want my jeans as vintage as possible.

i LOVE the cut on the okis. i need another pair with the same cut.

I love it too but unfortunately I'm not cool enough to be able to pull it off. If the thighs were a little bit slimmer they would be perfect to me.

"and correction, it's habu snake skin."

whoops. spelling error

btw, lets see that habu patch mr invincible!

Maybe you should sell them then.....to me...

sized down= W32 :: bin sittin' in the back burner for awhile :: worn a handful of time :: residual starch still in the yarn :: will try to intersperse in the rotation somewhere down the line.

[blm14]

I have those too - they're excellent!

[erk]

better pictures of fit. I originally did a cold hand wash initially, but they stretched out really huge in the waist, so I did a hot soak when I got home the other night.

edit - also wanted to include measurements

sc47 tagged 34x34

waist: 34

Inseam: 33.25

Knee: 9.5

Front rise: 10.5 (measured from seam to bottom of waistband)

^ love the fit and cuffs on those 47's, erk.

here is my patch after a handful of washes and dryer sessions.

and the jeans itself. owned for 2 years, wear is probably 7-12, i don't know. lost track. color edited for better viewing and to match its color.

the part i love the most is the train tracks. hard to see, but i'll update when it's a bit more dramatic.

^ how's the stretching on the sc okinawas, mr i? specifically how much do they stretch in the waist?

[mr.invincible]

I wear a size 29-30. this was a size 28. best fit ever. the waist was not a problem; of course it was a little uncomfortable in the first weeks.

[Hendodo]

^^nice

i hope my turn out great , too

anyways, just a fit pic of them

sz 31. i actually sized up on mine. theyre really comfortable

[oshen]

thank for the info, guess i'll try sizing down as well.

^ it's not for everybody. I'm a small frame guy.

[slowdownarthur]

just got these SC1945s

Does anyone know if these are sanforised?

They fit pretty tight on the waist so I'm cautious about shrinkage...

thanks...

[edmond]

they will shrink

[Dudebro]

Opinions: 1947's as work jeans. Gonna be wearing them in a swamp. Sweet fades, or waste of denim?
