Sugar Cane Denim

[cheapmuthafukr]

Got my Sugar Cane 45 yesterday from Caliroots. But there is one weird thing about them; there is no leather patch. The pictures of the model on Caliroots showed no tab either. Anyone know something about this?

no patch? thats fucked up. i dont see any reason they would remove it.

lees didnt have tabs tho, which is why those had no tab.

I wrote wrong, should be patch instead of tab. I mean that the pictures of the 45 on Caliroots showed no patch.

EDIT:

Started the soak 2 hours ago, was looking at them right now and i see some decent twisting. Nice.

EDIT:

Too bad i did not save the pictures on the model from Caliroots. Anyway, i found some other pics from a blog that is co-operating together with Caliroots:

It's the only pictures of the model on the blog. Also, as i said before; there was no patch on Caliroot's pictures. Anyway, I am finished with the soak now, they are drying right now.

EDIT:

Found some on Caliroot's blog:

I just ordered them from caliroots aswell. In the description it said "sanforized" , but I dont fully trust them.

The caliroots ones are the 420 then?

Have you got your jeans yet? Did you have the patch?

Must solve this mystery with the patch. I also noticed another difference between these on Caliroots and those on rakuten etc. In Caliroots there is a Made in Japan-tab beside the tab with wash instructions etc.

Canes '47 32/34 one-wash two days out of the box. I did an initial measurement before putting them on, and the rear-waist came to just over 15" (so, basically just shy of 31.5" total), and the inseam was around 36". As of right now, the waist hasn't stretched that much, but I expect that to change. I'm pretty happy with the fit, but would like the rear to shrink just a smidge. Softer, "fuzzy" effect on the denim (as has been discussed before). I almost threw some spray starch on them to enhance the fading, but think I'll keep them as-is to see what happens.

Hope this helps some,

Anthony

Well, after taking a super-vacation from SF, I decided to log back on and give an update for the sake of doing so. Changed my email address in that time, so my username had to change accordingly. Here are my 47's at 7months--I was rotating them (on and off) with my SD-103's, which are proving to be a bitch to break in. Anyone have a thought on how to stave off the destruction of the rear cuffs? I had my mother in law (old school seamstress that she is) throw some stitching on the back a few months ago, but...well, that just didn't work.

[Tee Bee]

And quite the staple they've become (for me, anyway). Holding out for some PBJ xx-005 blacks to rotate in with my new Nudies so this whole sick thing can start again.

[mizanation]

yeah, i still love my sugarcane '47s. really is a classic jean.

[john11f]

after 2 months of wear, my edo ai's are finalling showing some signs of defined creases and fade. probably another 2 months and it's worth showing in this thread...

TB

glad you returned man!

thanks for the update. the jeans look good. i like the repairs at the cuff, even if they aren't working out.

[lowrider]

Anyone here throw their Canes (with snake skin patch) in a dryer? I'm trying to get maximum shrinkage on my Canes x Begin jean but don't know how the snake skin patch will take to the dryer.

Mahalo!

Mahalo!

All the snake skin patches i've seen that have been through a dryer have looked great.. they hold up really well.

[denimdestroyedmylife]

i checked out cane's at deep sleep in philly

they've got 47s, 55s and hawaiis. maybe 66s?

the jeans look pretty good sans arcuates and tabs. palimpsest of the arcuate on the 55s was poignant. frayed edge of cut-off tab gave me pause.

[RBales]

I just bought a pair of SC40400N through 2000dB and i'm really excited to check out the arc's in person. And the denim color. And really everything else, too

[jubei]

hey dddml, what were they selling their SC's for?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

ergh. something or other usd.

sorry!

[jubei]

so, in other words, no bargains

[denimdestroyedmylife]

elsewhere, there has been official word of price-fixing of sugar cane stock in the US------no discounts EVER!

not a fan of this policy

I just got my Sugarcane Okinawas-- been wearing them ever since they came in the mail. They're a little long, but I'm at school so I can't really soak them. I have to wait 'til I go home next month. Here's some pics right out of the box:

[BTT]

Nice SCs --- I'm no sugarcane denim expert but...are those sc40301a? Onewashed? So a soak wouldn't help much...

[chizzua]

They are one-wash okinawas.. but they're supposed to still have some shrink in them. The tag is 31x34 and they're about 33" so I figure if I soak they'll shrink to a better length for me.

[eldave04]

are you sure they are one wash, if they are tagged 31 and measure 33 I would think they are no wash. They also look a little too smooth and unwrinkled for one wash.

I was under the impression that canes shrink to tag size.

err if you are talking about length then they are one wash...

[chizzua]

when I said 33 I meant the length, sorry for not stating that clearly. Yes, they are definitely one wash. It's evident by the feel of the jeans.

[eldave04]

THIS FUCKING INFURIATES ME.

TAKE THAT SHIT TO A SHOE FORUM.

deadstock can refer to anything that has been sitting around for a while in mint condition. There is a big market for deadstock Crown and Talon zippers from WWII. A bunch of them were sealed in wax to prevent corrosion. Sorry to infuriate.

lol i don t even belong to a shoe forum

[chizzua]

Ugh.. I've been wearing my Sugarcane Okinawa's non-stop and I think they make my legs look fat-- hah. I can't wait to get home and be able to soak them.

[knucks]

jeez i'm liking the okinawa's more and more.... i still think my next pair will be oni (red or blue, not sure yet)

[denimdestroyedmylife]

[synthi]

^ Beautiful.

[7210]

Does your Okinawa come with the Canes red tab? I've just received mine and thankfully its still intact! I love the sweet smell that comes out of the jeans!

Here is pictures of the 45 without patch sold on Caliroots.
