Sugar Cane Denim

[alv407]

On me the 47 are "antifit" but after a while they settle. I've grown to love them. As for the type ll don't know much except they have a lower rise, this might translate into a slightly better seat fit. Hope that helps.

My Cat's Paw pants arrived

nice!!! any fit pic and i'll be grateful if you can tell me how you sizing on this

[mikecch]

^ In terms of sizing I went +1 in the waist, since I'll be tucking my shirt in and all at work - and people's confidence in me drops exponentially the tighter my pants get (I work in a hospital)...

I'll try and gets some fit-pics up here and my blog next week when my partner comes home. This is the best I could manage by myself, sorry I can't be of more help at the moment (ignore my home scuffs please )

It has a straight-leg, slightly relaxed fit.

Great thanks. Does anyone have any fit pics of the Type IIs?

Hey, I think Toyo somehow managed to get permission from Biltrite to make garments using the Cat's Paw brand? I'm really not sure... and I haven't seen much else made in the Cat's Paw range.

P.S. I have to say the quality really is quite high, despite not made in Japan. Oh, and the other colours (other than charcoal grey) are 100% cotton, as opposed to the 60% cotton, 40% poly on the grey one.

gave my 66 another wash yesterday because they could stand up on thier own from the sweat and dirt caked on them from all of the skatebaording ive been doing in them... thats pretty much all i wear them for really. i have a feeling that im not gonna get much in the way of honeycombs from these, but the color of the denim as it fades is beautiful.

Who says they got permission. If there is one thing this board should teach someone is that these companies keep entire armies of trademark lawyers at work.

I think Toyo mostly play within the rules these days.....more's the pity.

tempting but the designs on the back pockets are a no go

[Vinneus]

couldnt agree more.... shits wilding.

i feel the same about the pockets , i think it would have been better the other way round with evisu no1 denim and a 47 fit

Crosspost, stuck here since it's about my SC1966s. I decided that I want to hem them after all and have a good cut that I don't have to cuff. My problem is that I don't really like the way a lot of local tailors here hem jeans (they always make the fold too big) so I decided to do it myself. Avert your eyes, this is going to be messy:

First, mark the spots. The pin is where it's going to be hemmed to. The second pin is gone but that marked where I needed to cut. Remember that we have to fold twice, so 3cm extra is needed. At this point I'm thinking, "Holy shit did I just cut my Sugar Canes?"

Measuring to make sure I didn't just fuck up, and evening out the hem.

Here's my stitching method. Did I mention that I don't have a sewing machine? This stitching method will get some severe roping. It's already noticeable thanks to both high tension and pulling. I watched a few episodes of The Shield while doing this and only stabbed my finger once.

Success, just enough stacking to look normal for the cut with enough room to cuff if I want. Jeans are pretty much unworn so of course they look slightly off.

gotta spread but will get back to you!

does anyone know the difference between sc40301a and sc40301ab? im guessing one is o/w one is raw, im just not sure which is which or if im totally off base.

[jstavrin]

Is there anywhere online that's selling 47s really cheap right now? My brother wants a pair.

[Vinneus]

jay what size? this guy is legit....EBay Power Seller

[jstavrin]

Thanks Vinneus, but I may have found them cheaper on Rakuten (and I'm not sure that 32 will work for him).

[Vinneus]

nice man! pm me the link, hahah could always use a fresh pair of canes. esp one wash 47's

[rubyblue]

does anyone know the difference between sc40301a and sc40301ab? im guessing one is o/w one is raw, im just not sure which is which or if im totally off base.

The suffix N = RAW, A = One wash, H = Hard wash. Hope this can clear things out for you.

anyone have info on these? (1947 black denim)

[stabliu]

so i got okinawas in 34 and they turned out to be quite a bit looser than i had anticipated. not sure if i want to keep them as i am currently losing weight. if anyones planning on getting okis in size 34 i'd probably trade them for a size 33. they're BNWT

alternatively do any of you think i should just keep them?

[Vinneus]

soak dem bitches, and rock em hard! Loose fit 4 life!

[Solix]

I'd say keep em. That's a fabulous fit you've got there and the denim definitely keeps shrinking more than most out there.

[stabliu]

i was under the impression that since they're O/W the shrinking would be minimal from soaking. i do really really like the denim and the fits really good now, i just worry about how they'll fit when i lose more weight. my first pair of nice denim, SC47s suffered from a similar fate, i lost a bunch of weight and then the fit/fades didnt turn out well.

[dawei69]

i say sell, okinawas stretch out quite a bit.... Canes dont look good when they r over sized...
