Sugar Cane Denim

Recommended Posts

I am looking into getting a pair of the Okinawa's, the 40301s (these http://www.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/119706/256094/177032/.) Does anybody know anything much about them? They look a bit higher than the 47s, due to the fact that they're a four button fly and not a three. If anyone has them or any experience with them and could enlighten me somewhat about them, I would love you.

Also, what modern jeans would be similar to them, or any other SugarCanes? I want to try on something similar so that I can be sure I like the straight leg and all that, because my only true adventure into properly fitting/nice denim has been a pair or RRDS and Zathans, so I only have experience with bootcuts right now.

they are one wash so if i wash them they will shrink more. but i'm not gonna wash them, maybe dryclean when they get dirty.

the 47 sugarcanes are really slubby, so they don't have too much of a sheen on them. more fuzzy than anything.

Nice fit. I'm getting nearer to wanting to give my one-wash 47's their first bath (only because I want the rear-end to shrink up a bit). Overall, I'm with you...I just love em.

does anyone know if the measurements at hinoya are before or after washing?

(a question probably already answered somewhere in this thread, but can't be arsed to search...sorry)

they only sell one-wash, so it's after washing (one time).

no, they also sell unwashed jeans. i can't read japanese but i'm pretty sure that the letter "N" at the end of the style code denotes unwashed jeans (No-wash)

can anyone confirm?

sometimes N stands for "natural indigo" in some Sugarcane models like hawaii, edo or okinawa.

A could be "artificial", not sure though.

ワンウォッシュ means "one wash" (wan uosshu)

ノンウォッシュ means "non-washed" (non uosshu)

リジッド means "rigid" (rijiddo)
