Sugar Cane Denim

[40ozprophet]

those look really intense.

[doubletaps]

hey guys

i m thinking of buying sugarcanes as my next denim (ad)venture.

going through about 25 pages (i don't have time for all 100+ pages) i learned about the hip flare, the anti-fit butt and everything.

i m thinking of getting a pair of Okiniwa's, which according to the Rakuten site is based on the '66 model.

Anyway, what I'd like to know is whether the '66 model is roomier or tighter than the '47 model. The '66 is generally considered as the model closer to a slim fit pair of jeans (if I may say slim fit) with smaller thigh area. But some posters here also mentioned that they found their Oki's even wider around the hips than the '47.

Some have also mentioned that Sugar Canes do not fit well on bigger sized guys. I am a waist 35, and someone here said the Sugar Canes around this size fit like clown pants.

Any thoughts?

That being said, I would still try on a pair for myself before buying them online. They seem risky to just get them like that.

Thanks for all the advice guys. I took those pics a while ago, and I actually did buy a pair of boots recently. I hadn't thought to see how they looked with the 'Cane's, but It turned out to be an pretty decent look, I think. I'll post an updated pic tomorrow.

On another note, everyone seems to think my belt is too tight in this picture. Does it really look bad? Back when I bought it a few months ago, I could only button it to the 2nd or 3rd hole, now I'm having to do it at the 4th, or it doesn't sit agains my waist. I'm wearing it on the 4th hole on Eternal 872's right now, and it's not at all uncomfortable.

Yes. It does. Loosen your belt and pull your jeans down a little bit. In my opinion they should hang on your hips, not up where your navel is. That and a double cuff and you'll be looking good.

this doesn't usually look right with sugar canes because of the rise and the hip flare. i think he is wearing them where he should. the fit looks good, i think. those slack jeans look beautiful. are they a 50/50 mix like okis and hawaiis? are they rht? how much did those run you?

[lilldavid]

They are right hand, 50/50 and it's the same kind of mixed indigo as the Okinawa 40301

they cost me 22940 yen shipped so it wasnt that bad at all

[Panda-san]

Double cuff these and let them hang short. Get yourself a pair of boots, or even high top chucks. Jeans with a lower leg that wide, look better left a hair short, so they hang away from the body. I think the combination of wider leg and too long can just look sloppy.

Sorry for the delay. First pic is single cuff with motorcycle boots (only boots I have).

Double cuffed.

Any better with the double cuff?

[ThugLife]

i say single cuff,

but panda, that is definitely a much better outfit to take pictures in.

before, with the thin small white tee and the ugly sandalwood dunks, absolutely no jeans looked good. dont change this outfit for fit pics! lol

Oh, so you recognized them as sandlewoods... do I smell a closet SB collector?

Seriously though, I don't leave the house like that. It's hot here in Texas, and I wear a tee shirt under whatever I end up wearing out.

I am no denim expert, but nothing will look flattering with that rooty-tooty-fresh-and-fruity body of yours.

[Bobbejaan]

I love this pair so much that i got one in a better size. When i am passing up the Froyals/DJ501xx/Dartisans/WH's/Evisu's you know its got to be a good pair of denim. As always it came with a flag, bag and a duo pack of soap.

Do i have to say more ?

ok..

Natural indigo/Sugarcane premium denim/Green Selvage/Lined pockets/Arcs and A red tab.

This is a fit pic of the 32 unsoaked, i have a 31 now and i hope its better fitting..

Ill keep you guys updated on the soaking and stuff. Ill try to make some compare shots between the 32 and the 31 soaked. So if anyone wants to get one of these amazing jeans.

[shameless plugmode on] I'm selling these on the well known sufu marketplace Bobbejaan closet sale 2008 [shameless plugmode off]

New Sugar cane model on hinoya: SC40003A

Details I can see from pictures: 11.75 oz, riveted cinch-back, no plier pockets, single back pocket (union-star stitching), single needle yoke.

Similar to the edo-ai sc40501a, but some differences. Price looks good too.

Sugar Cane 45 , 'bout 5 months, 3-4 soaks, 1 wash without detergent

'bout of 5 months o'wear'n', take or give one. In real life, more of a greener and darker hue. In these pics it somewhat transform into a more clear pale blue, but the pics still show the basic wear patterns.

Sugar Cane 47, 'bout 5 months, 2 soaks

Bought in one wash-state. 'bout of 5 months o'wear'n', take or give one. In real life, more of a darker deeper and more pitch blue indigo hue. In these pics it somewhat transform into a more clear pale blue, but the pics still show the basic wear patterns. As you can see, the wear effect on these are less pronounced than on the 45's. Maybe it's because of the one wash? The 47's were not as stiff as the 45's which developed rock hard deep sitting wear patterns after a couple of seconds, while the wear patterns on the 47's had a more subtle birth.

The Lee ones look great!

We had the light blue and purple ones at Self Edge.

We sold the last ones remaining just this past weekend.

[Ahlvahroe]

i had no prior knowledge of this style of shirt so i dont feel bad about knowing that, but once you get a restock let me know, that is if you are ever gonna get a restock. thanks bud.

[opethrapture]

Anyone know of any faded hawaiis, found some on this forum but not much people seem to own these jeans?

[meader]

http://www.wretch.cc/album/album.php?id=zk2006&book=58 Some great Cane's (Hawaii's for example) here.

[opethrapture]

Awesome man, thanks alot + rep for you

[mike501xx]

Just got my SC40301's one wash in the mail today from Chuck's Vintage. They look and feel great. Pics to follow.

[iamstarwars]

1947 at 9 months of wear. I would like to be able to wear them for another 3 months at least, but the denim is getting really thin in several places.

[Dick Danger]

So? Patch and carry on.

[dino might]

the sc 1955s are an exact replication of 1955 501s yeah?

they have a zipper fly, so when did levis switch to zipper flys on 501s?

[ExileOnMainSt]

I dont think there was ever a zipper fly on the original levi 55s, but i could be wrong (I usually am)

just like levis use a zipperfly on the '66 and sugarcane uses a button fly.

[dino might]

i didnt think there was either, what gives, they claim exact copy all the way down the same shade of blue, but then they switch the fly? seems like a pretty big detail to goof on..

[ExileOnMainSt]

I dunno though, I'd say Sugarcane does a better job on the accuracy of their reproductions in terms of indigo depth and cut compared to the originals. I like the idea of LVC and everything but some of the stuff they put out is just garbage.

I've always coveted a pair of sugarcane 1955s with the original box and all that, that'll probably be my next pair of jeans, they're suppose to be something else
