Sugar Cane Denim

[chantheman]

sell them esp if they are o/w

[greasypeanut]

and especially if u plan on losing more weight

[Vinneus]

good piont, last three posts.

[stabliu]

I pretty much resigned myself to the fact that I'd have to sell them, I just don't want to delay wearing them any longer than I have to

[triiiangle]

I downsized one on my Okinawas (bought 30, and typically wear 31), and they have stretched a ton.

I think you'd be better in a size 33.

The denim on the Okinawa is amazing.

[untungl]

I say keep 'em, 33's will probably be too small. (kind of guessing that you work out and stuff)

1st hour with the Sugarcane 1947 from tmadd. Thank you! Love them!

Since my '47s are coming due for a wash and it didn't matter too much if they got bird shit or blood on them, they were chosen for dog training last night. Not a lot of denim detail, but I figured I'd share 'em.

Grass dye.

[untungl]

is the mud dye the same as the charcoal dye? pretty sure they had a charcoal dye or something too

I have a pair of 2009's that are approaching the 1 year mark. They don't look that impressive, from a high-contrast, beat to shit perspective but they're developing some really nice subtle wear that probably reflects that I haven't done a ton of heavy lifting in them. If I'm feeling inspired later this week I'll snap some photos.

^Do it! There is little to no documentation of that pair on here!

I'd lend my paltry 124 toward +repping your ass if you posted them.

are they any good? i was interested in getting a pair of flathead 4001 b/c i want a pair of black denim. do you know how these fade?

[blm14]

no idea about fades - but the textile is really nice stuff. And it's a 1947 cut...

I got plus and neg rep for my pictures. For those that were offended by them, I'm sorry that wasn't my intent and I debated whether or not to post them. For those that enjoyed them, I'm glad you did. That was a frustrating and rewarding night, but it's a very satisfying feeling for the dog and I when he (and all the other setters, pointers, and spaniels of the world) do what they've been bred for hundreds of years to do.

i didn't plus or neg rep you, but i'll admit it was odd to see a picture of a man, apparently in his own backyard, undershirt, baseball cap, wire frame glasses, and rifle lazily shooting birds and commenting that he "got bird shit or blood" on him... and now relishing the satisfaction of, somehow, feeling connected to "hundreds of years" of tradition.

it makes me uncomfortable, but i guess that's what makes me a "progressive"?

What pissed me off were lack of detailed shotgun photos.

The photographs were of a training session, not a hunt, on a large farm that my dog trainer is leasing for use. Every training session the dog encounters four to six homing pigeons that are placed in a remote controlled spring loaded trap. Hopefully the dog uses his nose, points the pigeon, we shape/steady him on point, praise him, release the bird and it makes the four mile flight back to the trainer's house to be used the next day with another pointer or setter.

Dogs can sour or get bored working with pigeons though, so the plan is that every couple weeks an old chukar or two from a local preserve are put out for the dog and shot. It keeps him excited about the work, and gives him the ultimate reward for his work (a bird in his mouth). With in a week or two we hope to get away from the contrived setting of a pigeon in a trap, and onto the quail the trainer is raising that will be simply released from their recall pen (which protects them from hawks and raccoons) out into the field. The quail will not be shot, we want them to become as strong of flyers and as wild as possible so we make the dog work and learn. The sporting breeds may have hundreds of years of breeding in them, but they still need training. And when I see the dog learning, gaining confiedence in himself and his nose, and doing what he's bred to do, it is satisfying.

I didn't say that I got blood or shit on myself, I said I might, that's why I wore a pair of jeans that were coming due for wash. When we're working with pigeons, they are carried into the field in a mesh pouch, they shit every where, and it can come through the pouch onto your clothing. Since I wasn't carrying the pouch, I didn't get dirty.

Now, let's let this be the end of this discussion, and get back to Sugar Canes.

[po_boy_fuuma_hatesbargerz]

Sugarcane Okinawas, bought for my dad last spring, but apparently were 'too tight.' :confused: Got them back end of summer after finishing uni, and are wearing them pretty regularly until the 10/10/10-12/12/12 811 contest starts. The cut is a bit weird on me, but I've grown to love it.

Machine-washed, air-dried, soaked numerous times. And to ward off questions, Tanner belt, natural, ~1.5 years old and going strong.

[beatle]

[krakatu]

[aho]

1966's laying out to dry...About 5 months wear now? Possibly the 5th or 6th wash...got oil all over the cuff/calves at the airport somehow...

Hard to pick up the right colors with my camera but you get the idea...

[Dr_Heech]
