Sugar Cane Denim

[sixsixtie]

I sized down one.

Picked up a pair of Hawaiis from Farhad and I gotta say. They're some of the most comfortable denim I've ever worn. Gave it a soak for a "reset" of sorts. Really digging the 50/50 cotton and sugarcane and also the fit of the denim.

50/50 cotton/sugarcane for shirts and jeans is perfection.

woopsie...

[akka225]

i have an SC type ii, and i love it. i would say, however, if you are torn between a 38 and 40, consider going with the 40.. fwiw, i'm 5'8" 140 and my 38 is pretty tight in the shoulders and chest

That's hardly a Star of David. More Soviet style.

[Megatron1505]

Anyone for a cheap SC shirt?

Holla at me...

[Maynard Friedman]

Mega,

Size and measurements please, I'll take it if it fits.

[Megatron1505]

Hey,

It's a large, 22" p2p and just under 30" in length.

[Maynard Friedman]

Aaargh!

I need a 42 perhaps 43 chest tops. I just checked the Self Edge site and think I'm in between a M and L.

Gonna have to let this one pass

Great shirt, how much by the way?

[Megatron1505]

I think it might be ok for you, as it's a western shirt the body is a slimmer cut. I'm asking £45 including shipping.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

is it really purple or is it the lighting?

Indeed they are. I wonder why his has no red tab though.

[srgprod]

Nice!! Great fit. Looks good w. the okis as well. Great pickup.

Just got a denim SC chorecoat that's too snug. Will let it go cheep if anyone's interested. Sorry for the plug.

Levi's lawsuit ordeal is a safe bet. Most SC won't have the red tabs or arcs anymore.

Got in my SC jacket. Really liking it and I'm glad I went with a 40. It feels just slightly bigger than I anticipated, but I'm sure a wash would remedy that. A 38 would be way too small on me, sleeve length especially. I got just enough room for a sweatshirt underneath during the fall/winter.

Lots of interest in seeing the Sugarcane chore jacket that I'm selling. Some pix for you.

To me it seems like sugarcane isn't as popular as it was 2 years ago? I never followed that brand but I was interested in a 47 for a while and now I can't really find a good source on the web. Wasn't there a change in back pocket design some years ago as well?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

get them here

or here

www.pants-shop-avenue.com

and yeah...Levi's lawsuit happened...so no arcs unless you find some old stock

[Planetarium]

Does anybody have the persimmon, tea or cement dyed Okinawas? The last few pairs left are one size up from my indigo Okis, but the sizing chart seems to indicate the special edition ones ran smaller. Any truth to this?

[Guest rusholmeruffian]

Does anyone have any experience with the Cats Paw workpants? I was thinking of getting some (for work!) But I am a bit concerned about the poly/cotton blend in the summer.

[mikecch]

^ It's fine in Summer too - I've been wearing it for work for the past year or so. Some colours are 100% cotton though...

[Guest rusholmeruffian]

Cheers shrimp mate. The cotton colours are nowhere near as nice as the grey ones you have.

[mikecch]

^ Yeah, the grey one is good for work and washes well!

Although I must say the quality on these pants aren't as good as Toyo's other offerings - made in China, button fell-off after 2 weeks, had to repair a belt loop after 3~4 months, and the talon zip is a cheapie repro - but the price is alright, and the fabric is very sturdy
