Sugar Cane Denim

I'm actually liking the measurements haha, they have a nice taper (if the leg opening measurement can be had with the 30" inseam). Th only thing is they seem at least in the larger sizes to have pretty massive rises. Curious to see how they'll fit. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The measurements I saw make them look very close to Resolute 710 which is not a bad thing IMO

Lately I've been wearing my fat man pants ala 47's due to weight gain during coronavirus.  Stress eating.

I've seen that weight gain being called the covid's 19 (pounds...)

Interesting that the Edo Ai's jeans & jacket are priced the same.

[SuperJackle]

Did anyone else decide to pull the trigger on those? I’m on the fence and was kind of hoping one of b_f’s solid reviews would win me over haha. 
 

I might just go for it. That fabric looks amazing. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The jeans arrived in Germany, now we wait until they reach me. Then I will update you

I’m not a sweatpants type of person even though that’s the trend now.  Even at Thanksgiving, I wore denim!

Interested to hear your thoughts and get some fit pics. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Here you go mate

The pair is one-wash but this is mostly visible on the leather patch. The denim itself is still very flat and crispy, nearly no wrinkles. 
The indigo hues are really nice, the green tone of the denim is very prominent and is different to typical greencast denim (like Stevenson).
Irregular warps yarns with different indigo colours, yet the denim doesn't feel slubby or strongly textured like other brands.
But now to the pictures.

 

Deer leather patch

I love the curved back pockets

Hand dyed with natural indigo

 

 

And now to the fit. These would be probably a relaxed tapered cut. I took the short inseam version since I didn't want to need a hem.

So these will be my "Edo Ivy" fit

Perfect fit @beautiful_FrEaK

[youngofthesoonest]

Nice. That is a really good fit on you. I'm excited to see these in person

[Broark]

They look fantastic. Too skinny for my frame sadly, but they fit you really well. 

[vIGGiou riou]

[SuperJackle]

Interesting old SC type I on Yahoo for a good price, size 40: https://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/l592682627?conversionType=search_suggest_history

[mpukas]

@beautiful_FrEaK nice score. Fit is perfect , especially for your new Ivy style

My wife in her Sugar Cane M41300:

 

[JDelage]

@Iron Horse - Super cute doggie too. What kind is it? Some poodle mix?

[Iron Horse]

@JDelage He's a red poodle but with age he's discolored and become more cream. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@Iron Horse I can't remember, where the M41300 faded by your wife or bought in that state? 

 

Update on the SC41502 Edo Ai:

• they have the strongest smell of new jeans I ever encountered
• 4 fly buttons as opposed to the 3 fly buttons would have been better given the rise
• the top block is pretty roomy in size 34
• the indigo colour is really interesting and with it strong green hues it really looks some "old world" indigo dyed fabric.

 

Edit: Oh I would also prefer if my pair would have more mismatched pocket bags but that's part of the game, isn't it?

@beautiful_FrEaK They were bought second-hand in that state, though she’s obviously put additional wear and washes into them. The previous owner seems to have used very hot water to wash them judging by the tiny fried patch (which was clinging on for dear life by a thread and subsequently sewn back on) and very white weft throughout.
