Sugar Cane Denim

[mr.indigo]

One wash would be the sensible thing though personally I buy raw as I enjoy the whole process. Both Canes I own have shrunk to tag size.

[Klaas]

Some shots of my Canes....waist is still a bit tight, wear them on my hips so they need another 2cm to be perfect.

[percy]

okinawas or warehouse duckdiggers?

I've been wearing some 66s for about 3 weeks now. Nothing to substantial. Maybe i'll put some fit pics up.

Well I just got my 1945 sugarcane cowboy jeans from mil-mil. I am so stoked about them.

One thing that threw me is that the tag says they are sandfordized, but the description says they are not and I know they are not so I am guessing it is just for the look of the tag.

I am going to soak tonight an start wearing tomorrow, they fit good now except too long, the rise cracks me up a bit they do have a big rise but fit very classy, the waste fits well only a bit snug I think the soak should snug it up more and then they will stretch out to what i need them at. Who knows maybe the soak will even twist the seam a bit (one can only hope :D)

Hey Klaas, got any more pics of you wearing what I assume are the '55 canes?

I've been contemplating them as my next pair for months now.

They are just normal 47's......Want those '55 canes too!

[Obnoxiousfacialscenes]

Ah...my mistake. Looks good though.

Here are some canes SC1945N the no wash cowboy pant in a size 33.

This is how they fit after a warm soak for 1.5 hours and hang dry they are snug in the waist but I am sure it will loosen up.

very nice fit, thats the fit i was looking for, i also ordered those same jeans from japan last week, but in a size 34. what waist size are you usually, height/weight, etc. ?

[Dogfarm]

I am 190 lbs and 6'1" I usually wear a size 32 or 33 it depends a bit. My true size is a 33.

[percy]

just got some okinawas in the post. not tried them on yet, but they sure do smell sweet! does this mean im gonna get a load of wasps buzzing about me in the summer?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i think i've read somewhere that sugar cane repels mosquitos/snakes/vampires and such

but my memory of that is so foggy this post may be more apocryphal than factual

[Dogfarm]

I have also read something to that effect. I guess it would have to have some sort of built in bug reppellant or would not ants just come and eat it all up? Or bees, hornets, wasps, flies etc...

I have been in a sugarcane field before and I did not really inspect the plants but I don't remember any bugs, but it was hot as hell I don't think there were bugs anywhere.....except in hotel rooms (costa rica)

would just like to ask a quick question. ok, so i tried them on straight out of the box and the length and waist is great. the butt doesnt seem overly big, but the thighs are sticking out quite a lot at the outside seems.

is this just cos the denim has been creased when folding and is it likely to drape better with wear/ a soak?

an advice would be great, because i have to decide quite quickly if i want to keep them or return. obviously i wont soak them until i decide im gonna keep. these are the one wash version btw.

thanks

[denimdestroyedmylife]

dude, keep 'em

they will drape better as you wear them

there is a hip flare with the hawaiis, not so sure about the okis; lay them flat and inspect it visually to confirm/refute for yourself

don't give up on those jeans, you will adjust, the jeans will adjust, it will work out

[Klaas]

Show those jeans some love and they will love you back longtime

[andy dufrane]

i really like the 1955 sc and im currently wearin the lvc 1955. are they the same jeans. and will the sc stretch out like my levis. and how come there is little talk of the 55s

Yeah my okis were like that too, after a soak and maybe some wear it'll go away.

[Sais]

Sigh i wanted some oki's -=(

[Tony32]

Okay so I want to get a pair of Sugar Cane 1947's and I'm having some trouble deciding on a waist size. I'm ordering through 2000db off of Rakuten so a return is not possible. I'm interested in getting the jeans raw. I measured my waist to be 33", but I like to wear my jeans abit lower, so I put on a pair of my favourite fitting jeans and ran a tape measure through the belt loops and came up with a tight 35". I don't want the jeans to be really baggy, so I thought I would order the 34" and if the waist fits well then I hot soak them for a few hours to get a slimmer fit. I've read through about 25 pages on this thread and I'm still undecided.

Any advice on a sizing is appreciated.

Thanks,

Tony

[toufu]

get a 32, they stretch...a lot...

[dasman989]

i'll get some pics of my oki's up here sometime soon. Iv'e had them for 3 weeks now and they feel better every day. And it says on the label that they make girls want you and keep away vampires and rabid dogs.... i don't know about wasps though....

be careful with trying to wear SC's low around your waist. The way a lot of them are cut they just won't look right sagging a naturaly high rise jean.... I just got okinawas and i have to wear them high for them to look right. but they do look right. It just took some getting used to.... I'm used to low rise jeans so this is a first for me. I've tried sagging them and one tthey are too tight ... and two the just look funny. Maybe if they were broken in more and had a better drape i could pull it off but not now.... my 2 cents
