Sugar Cane Denim

[slowdownarthur]

thanks Ed...ok, cold wash, I reckon...

[grouse_allergy]

SExSC06 probably 3-4 months of wear.

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

I'd say waste of denim. You'll probably get muddy and be washing them contstantly.

[tmadd]

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...

Nice pickup! Are these available anywhere for not insane amounts of money right now? Also, what is the inseam like on them?

I think its an awesome move, you won't ruin them, and I am always a fan of jeans that see real work over a long period of time.

dont worry about shrinkage. seriously. Mine fit perfect at the waist before soaking, but were baggy everywhere else. I tried doing a cold wash first with my 1947s and it blew my mind how much they stretched out. I hotwashed them and they stretched out again, but it just took longer. I would hot wash them right off. the only thing I would be worried about is the inseam if you are a tall guy.

thanks tmadd - I got these from a shop in Peterborough, UK but they probably were an insane amount - £190...

and thanks for the encouragement erk.. they're plenty big enough everywhere else and I'm by no means a tall guy so the inseam isn't a problem....

Sounds like how my '47s fit. Stretch the waist as soon as you're done soaking or washing, they'll go right back out to the pre-soak size, then hang them to dry.

All too small. My Bank Account say "Phew!"

Sugar Cane 1955s are sloooooow faders. Been wearing the shit out of them for four months and there isn't much going on. Granted, I am hand washing them monthly. I suppose blue retention will be a blessing in the long run--it's a really nice color. I think they'll yield a nice "vintagey" fade when things are all said and done.

is the sexsc06 a slim fit or slim straight fit?

[dawei69]

Regular straight, no way near slim,

[chantheman]

really? i thought they were on the slimmer side

[grouse_allergy]

yes, they are slim, not skinny, though.

Here's how my fresh Hawaii's in sz 31 fit.

they have been pre-stretched a bit by the previous owner to an actual waist size of 32" at the moment and my true waist is about 33" so they will stretch a bit more.

saw this when i was wandering around Taipei and thought it was cool so i thought i'd share:

which SugarCane denim is LHT?

I know of the denim they used for the Leepro ( obviously).

As I read cottonduck's blog he wrote the 'Okinawa' denim they used on the Mr.Freedom/SC Riders is also LHT. Does this also apply to the standard SugarCane Okinawa dungarees SC40301?!

[lilmarkham4]

Nice fit mich

[tmadd]

X Post from What is your wallet thread....bonus is my 1947s I've had since March (not getting much wear the last few months as I've been wearing my Mister Freedom 7161MDs almost everyday) used as the background.

Here is my Sugar Cane Wallet...I've had it for maybe 6 months...treated the outside with Pecards...no tanning:

I'm new to this, feedback on the fit would be lovely, thanks!

maybe think a bout hemming them for a cleaner look, other wise they look pretty good.

Just recieved my SC 1947 (older version - red tab + arcs) from Japan. I have to say that after close inspection (..and I know they're not Levis) they seem to look more to me like original early vintage Levis, more so than the LVc 1947, especially the cut. The pocket linings, hidden rivet tops and stitch colour combo are awesome. This is my first purchase of non-Lvc (other than Lee and bluebell) and probably not my last.

Quality/craftsmanship-wise, Sugar cane are head and shoulders above Lvc.

Lvc should hang their heads in shame.

[blm14]

agreed. I have several pairs of sugar cane and they're sick. You should check out the 55 repro that they make as well as some of the natural indigo and mixed natural/synthetic indigo blended jeans

[beautiful_FrEaK]

anybody ordered from www.mil-mil.net lately?!

do they mark down the value on the package and do they leave the tab intact when shipping overseas (Germany that is)?

[grouse_allergy]

heads up... size 28 and 29 Okinawas on sale for $150 at context.

[mr.invincible]

repped, thanks for the heads up!

[Hendodo]

cant find the rubberneckers thread. anyone at serramonte shopping center today with sex06 and some air max's??

[Pi-tol]

B-freak they don't alt the jeans. They leave the jeans original. As far as mark down I don't remember. Hope this helps.
