Sugar Cane Denim

[jsky808080]

for comparison sake, here are pics of my LVC 1947

- tagged 32 and measured 32 exactly

- soaked 3 times (hot)

- now measure 31

- worn for around 1 month every day

i like the fit of the LVCs. they are quite loose/comfortable on the waist and i think they fit OK in the seat

[jsky808080]

Waist will always stretch a bit. How tight are the thighs - they're usually the prime limiting factor.

I think the thighs are OK in the SC. problem is they are riding up a lot (will that improve?) and the waist is tight..i have to suck in to do them up properly..

you can see from pics SC is quite tight at hips

the rise also feels very low..

i was trying to go for a slightly fuller/baggier look in my canes as i have the LVC 47s that are relatively slim,...but the canes actually feel slimmer in this size

Those Canes look fine to me but if they feel too tight, perhaps you should go up one size. It's your comfort level, not anyone else's.

better SC pics

[jsky808080]

better LVC pics (no more pics sorry to take up thread)

[jonmhenderson]

Canes look more flattering to me.

if canes are O/W, imo, you should be alright.

if 1" stretch @waist is all it needs to be comfy, that's very doable.

but, if your goal is a more "textbook" relaxed/repro fit like your LVCs, you need to SU1 = W31 = w/c [actually] is your TTS size on the canes

thanks guys..!

gonna keep these ones and maybe try a 31 down the road to try a more repo fit

[setterman]

fit on the canes is good (as someone else mentioned, more flattering than the LVCs). if the waist is too tight, soak it, and stretch it by hand while wet. Once stretched they'll ride lower and ride up the seat less.

Hey guys, I'm interested in picking up a pair of Sugar Canes here eventually. I am intrigued by the fact that they are made with 50% sugar cane. I want a slim fit though as I currently wear a pair of Samurai S003JP17oz-L (size 29) and love the fit. Is there a cut that is similar?

Thanks!

None other than a long sold old Self Edge collaboration. The closest would be the 2009 model, but most Sugar Cane fits are straight to relaxed leg.

[eighto1]

Is the 2009 model 50/50 cotton and sugar cane as well?

[redragon]

The onlt model I know that have the 50/50 cotton/sugarcane fabric is the Okinawa & Hawaii.

Don't think the 2009 model have that fabric.

[Planetarium]

Correct. The 2009 is a lightweight 12oz denim, good for summer wear.

[Crat]

There are still places where you can find these.

Second that. At least for what's available. I have a pair each barely worn Edo Ai's 36.34 and Okinawa 34.34 one wash that I'm selling really cheap. So feel free to pm me.

hate to do this but i have a pair of sugar cane 2009 (1947 type ii) for sale.

Just got a pair of Okinawa 34x34...way to big all around for me. Completely different cut from the 2009s. Bought them from a boardie. If anyone is interested in trading for these, let me know and we'll work something out. They are in beautiful condition - no signs of wear whatsoever. I'm looking for the same in maybe a 32 or 33 waist or I'd look at another brand if that's what you've got to trade. Pictures on request. Thanks!

[Grumpieoldman]

Quick question - has anyone had experience with how much the aforementioned SugarCane's will shrink with a warm soak?

[Maynard Friedman]

Are they still raw or are they one wash?

EDIT: if they're from Self Edge they're usually one wash, however, if they're from elsewhere they could be either. If they're stiff and cardboard like with an immaculate patch, then you can assume they're raw. If they're soft, with a slightly distressed looking patch and signs of roping on the hens, then probably one wash.

[Grumpieoldman]

I believe they are still raw..according to the SelfEdge site, however, they say one-wash, unsanforized...

[jonmhenderson]

My Hawaiis didn't shrink any with a cold soak. Don't know if that helps any. It's the same denim as the Okis, I believe.
