X-Post from the evo thread..

Posting these for a yoyo-ing friend of mine that doesn't do Superfuture, i thought they came out really so we had them photographed. I liked this pair because it really shows how the sugar cane fibers affect the indigo loss pattern over time.

Sugar Cane Hawaii

Bought 30 months ago, worn on and off, only washed twice.

[s3lam]

Wow Kiya....might need to get a pair of those if I come to SF this summer

The Gripper Zipper!!

Two Tone Arcs!!

The weather is so nice that I went outside to take some outdoor pics

Most subtle of fades right now on my 66's at under a month of really light wear...Boring fades taken by a bored person...

[wasabi]

Anyone know if the hawaii's and okinawas are the same denim?

[chantheman]

[musicisdead]

yeah, totally different. hawaii is right hand twill. super splotchy (in a cool way). oki is left hand twill and a darker blue.

[ahaha]

30 Days of light wear (yes, I put a note on each time i wear them :\ ), decided to bring out my macro lens. This pair will see a lot more of destruction from now as I've just started to cycle to work almost every other day, stay tuned!

Get those holes repaired and wear them casually! They're not gonna fade much more, but casually, they look amazing.

Hey few questions for you sugarcane veterans. Are the 50/50 cotton/sugar cane fibers jeans like the okis and hawaiis as durable as the vintage repro models? A lot of the people have amazing wear on both the repros and the 50/50s, so I was hoping they could offer some insight? I have a pair of S5000vx and am loving its invincibility, how do the sc models compare?

The 50/50 denim is very durable.

About as durable as any other denim, at least. s5000vx is a little heavier than the typical 14oz 50/50 though.

Great, now my only decision is between the okis and the hawaiis. Love the slubbiness and color of the okis, but the hawaiis look beautiful too....Would you guys recommend correct sizing if im 32 true waist?

[chantheman]

get a 31. cant go wrong with either denim.

[Blue7even]

as an aside, why do people prefer the raws to one-wash. Don't people soak any way which renders them the same? I ask because on BiG, the one wash price is sometimes the same as the raw, and I thought that the extra cost of the wash would be reflected in the price....

the one wash process is usually pretty extreme (i.e. trip through a washer and a dryer to get all the shrinkage out). the one wash process typically results in denim that is softer and maybe even a little more fragile.

one reason people get raw is because they want to have more control over and/or enjoy the soaking/washing process. raw post-soak denim is more rigid than one wash, and that can result in sharper, higher contrast fades, whereas one wash denim can result in more "vintage" fades.

does any one own any SC40400? I would like to see some fading on those, thank you

I went true to size, size 30 for a 30" waist. Will post photos in a few days, had my Okis since last August, breaking in nicely.

Picked up a pair of 47's from ebay. Shipping was so fast...got it from Japan in 4 days!! The guy I purchased it from still has some sizes left for those of you who want a pair with arcs and tabs for a really good price ($160USD). He also has a couple pairs in the Black denim which are only about $140.

The denim used on the sugarcane 47's look similar to my sam0500 but are not as rough to the feel as the texas cotton

The canes also feel heavier and are slightly baggier as we all know(more anti fit). I also like the different colours in thread used throughout the jean....apparently there is 18 different colours used on this jean but to my eyes I can only distinguish about 4...lol

Here are some pics with a pair LVC 47

Rust already!!...awesome! (sorry for the over exposure)

The deerskin patch

Sugarcane's selvage on the bottom

All I had was a point and shoot camera...hopefully you can see the difference in the 2 denims. Canes on the top

[s3lam]

And of course some "pre-soak" fit pics

These are much more roomier than the lvc47. Much more room in the bum area. Probably won't soak them just yet as I am working on other pairs of denim right now. I apologize for the blur as I didnt wanna use the flash and as you can see it was hard to keep my hand still.

[erk]

nice comparison pics s3lam. it's interesting how similar the fabric actually is when raw.

its also interesting the 36 x 34 LVC is still slimmer than the SC47 - even though the LVC should be 1 inch larger (I'm guessing these were 1 inch undersized)

the SC's should look great once soaked. I've got a pair I think I got from the same guy as you, and yes, hes a fast guy.

thanks for posting.
