Sugar Cane Denim

[JL77]

^^ That shirt is excellent.

[surly]

I have a pair of regular Okis, and a pair of persimmon-dyed Okis. Until I lose motivation, I'm going to try to put in equal amount of wear in both, and document how they age together. So far I'm only a month in on each (well, at least that I've photographed), so there's not a ton to see.

^^^good idea id like to see how the persimmon dyed pair will fade in time.

[Crat]

A question to the experts; I came across these two pairs which I both like (same model?).

What is the difference between them? There must be one since the 2nd pair is 180.- euros cheaper.

The only difference I can see is that the 2nd pair has an ostrich leather patch on the back.

the ostrich leather patch was a (self edge) collab and that store is not self edge. harder to get=more money.

The ostrich is 180.- euro's cheaper.

But if the leather patch is the only difference I guess it will have to be the ostrich.....

Post a pic of whatever you buy... I shouldn't even be considering anymore denim right now, but I've always wanted to see some fit pics of that model

Got the one with the Ostrich.

I'll post fit pics next week when I get home.

I just had to retire my SC2009 too after a year and a half of use (about 12 effective months of every day wear, including wearing them on tour and playing in them on stage). They blew a knee last week finally.

[aho]

A shame....They're just getting started! Still, good work, this is the first pair I've seen worn in...

[Dave_SFU]

theres also a crotch blowout and ass seam rip in the works. im sure ill still wear them for a while.

[Maynard Friedman]

SExSC02 [w/ ostrich leather patch] denim were 14.5oz double ringspun [same material used on SC 1955 "Stovepipes"].__ imo, a waaay better quality denim than the other pair in question.

Xposting my pair:

height= 5'11" :: weight= 180 lbs approx. :: jeans size= W33x32, 33-34 w/cuffs [ i don't stack ]

SExSC02 :: 14.5 Double Ringspun [from The SC 1955] :: TTS @33

@1.5 mos [effective wear] x 2 hotsoaks :: current measurements : w= 34, ins= 34, f/r= 10, b/r= 13.5, u/t= 11.25, kn= 8.25, l/o= 8

Update: these were set aside to make room for some newly acquired jeans in my rotation :: 'picked up from where i left off [approx. 2mos ago]__ @3.5mos effective wear :: 5 soaks, no wash

lost 10 lbs on current fit photo as compared to last [above: wherein thighs are fuller]

the mark up for SugaCane products here in Europe is already ridiculous enough. Especially from togged. Dunno, are they the main representant for SugarCane in Europe?

SugarCane is one of the cheapest premium denim brands in Japan so I don't get why they make them that expensive (ok...they want to make money. i get that)

let's take the standard 1947 model.

It costs 13,440 Yen in Japan which is 174 US-$

And at togged the same pair costs 219,99 GBP = 344 US-$

every person buying from this shop is an idiot

[big truck]

They'd only be an idiot if they knew they could get SC jeans from japan for half the price but still chose to buy from togged.

[erk]

sc1947 worn here and there for almost 2 years.

[bod]

^ Great stuff erk, got another pair of 66's on the way, I can't wait to get into a pair again. Might score some 55's too.

[Goominim]

erk, is that type I or II? fantastic and I love the single-fold cuffs.

[BrownMetallic]

jacket is III.

[rocco]

He doesn't refer to the jacket I guess.

[erk]

if you mean the jeans, they're old type 1 1947s from back when they still had arcs and red tab. the arcs are almost gone now, but the tab remains. thanks!

[SLAB]

save_sfu; these canes look amazing; u should patch the holes and rips and keep wearing them. Id like to see some pictures in natural light as well

[dawei94]

anyone know how to size 55's? I know they haven't been produced in years, but there's still a couple shops with some old stock and i wanted to get a pair before they're all gone

[bod]

I think they're a tad looser than a 66, I'd say tts for raw, some of the measurements quoted for one wash especially for size 32's are all all over the place; like they were dried at the back of a jet engine.

As Promised.

One soak and about a week of wear.

They still need to be hemmed.

[wgmds]

i feel like hemming would be a bad idea. no mini cuff?

[Crat]

I dislike cuffs. And yes, I know almost everyone here cuffs their jeans.

Why would hemming be a bad idea?
