Sugar Cane Denim

[ecp12]

Picked up a pair of Okinawas from SEPDX and I'm just in awe of the attention to detail on them. The snake skin patch, the fabric pocket bags, along with the lined back pockets... man o man. Here are some detail shots, I'll post fit pics when I get the chance.

The lined back pockets are supposed to resemble sashiko pattern embroidery and if memory serves... The Python used in the patch is the snake that is native to the Sugar Cane plantations in Okinawa.

 

Make the most of that sweet sugary smell you only get from new SC,s

The sweet smell is the unique character from sugar cane denim what i really love so much.

Double O: I did. Maybe I can find the name, for what it's worth. Your theory about demand stopping jeans allocated for washes sounds the most plausible explanation. Perhaps this is more unlikely to happen with newer batches, perhaps Sugar Cane is more on top of what the market wants.

 

Sorry for not chiming in on all this earlier, but I think the most simple answer is probably that of a factory mistake with the label, or, same way of saying the same thing, a jean that had the H tag sewn into it found it's way into the jeans that were to remain raw.  I've seen (and owned actually, now my little brother has this pair) a pair of more recent production 1947s that had the leather tag from 2009s but was stamped model number 1947.  I'd guess that these sorts of small labeling errors are more likely to make it through quality control, where people are busier looking at actual physical features of the jean than concerning themselves with whether the label correlates with the jean they are holding.  I think it's cool to have weird one off label versions of such a classic jean as the 1947.

My thinking behind the lawsuit theory is around that period SC third party  sellers, michistore ect had an abundant amount of 47,s +arcs for sale, there is nothing to say they didn't just step up to the mark to supply the burgeoning market unable to purchase outside of jp. SC must have had an abundant stock of raw 47,s +arcs with all tag variations previously destined for the international market.

The tag mix up holds water though.

shit, starting t get that new denim itch...really want the Okinawa  not sure I can do the thigh though, per usual.  I find it odd that a 33 waist Oki has a thigh of 12.2 and a leg opning of 9 inches.  For some reason, I would expect the thigh to be closer to 13"

[Double 0 Soul]

The thigh on the 33" Okinawa measures 12.75" and the hem is indeed 9"

 

2 words of advice gnome... Do It!

 

Edit- ^That is at max stretch not fresh from the wash.

If this is the case, it would seem that Self Edge's measurements are a bit off...

SE doesn't measure at the crotch seam as far as I know. So if they indicate a smaller thigh it's not off or wrong (as they measure the thigh lower on the leg)

[Double 0 Soul]

Sorry gnome, I should have added "big method" i had no idea where your quoted size came from. I have never purchased denim from SE so have never looked at the size charts.

[eleks]

Is anybody familiar with SC "Aloha" (Hawaii) Denim jackets? I haven't known that they are doing, or did jackets with the denim of the Hawaii jeans. While I was browsing just found a 2nd type repro on Yahoo, but couldn't found much about it on the web.

Here is the patch:

[garden gnomes in space]

oh, fuck me.  I didnt realize that they measured from a different area.  Ive been shunning certain cuts because the thigh seemed abnormally small.   

[pierrot_bzh]

Hi guys!

Sorry for that message cause the question surely has been asked before but I've just bought a pair of Okis on Self Edge and those are damn tight on waist. I chose to go TTS on sizing tag (32) which, according to SE sizing charts, means 31' at the waist... Do you guys think it will stretch to at least nearly 32' or not? Cause i read few messages about the Okis stretching less than others SugarCanes...

So some help would be very appreciated!

Thanks

[S-Town]

In my opinion, you should be able to get those to 32". But, do they actually measure 31"? Or are they even smaller than that? If you're good in the rise/seat/thigh, they should fit pretty good after some wear.

[Ignaurus]

I've stretched my Okis farther than I thought possible.

[pierrot_bzh]

Thanks for the answers guys.

They are a real 31". But as S-Town said, I am good in the seat/thigh/rise so should be ok.

They've been kind stretched already during last weekend as I was hanging around/boozing with some friends and slept in them during 2 nights...

[aho]

wish there was more love for Sugarcane out there...

 

a few sizes of the M41400 here

[bradl]

Those are awesome, and what a price... I would totally go for them if I wasn't moving at the end of the month.

 

Can't say I've looked much past what SE carries, but I really quite like those.

Do they ship over seas?

[aho]

^Haven't ordered from them before however they note that all overseas orders must be made by Paypal and they don't accept returns/repayment/size exchanges...Perhaps someone who's ordered from them can further elaborate? I do have a message in with them and can update once I get a response...

[Double 0 Soul]

I have ordered from Takeoff and there is nothing more to elaborate than what you have already stated, What i will say is dont hold your breath for a detailed response, "Short and to the point" sums it up.

[Rightyow77]

Yeah I noticed that bit about overseas orders after I had emailed them. They have a 1100 in my size that is just ridiculously tempting

[lyraman]

Hey, does anyone know what the w means in the 41030w old sugar canes?

Thanks

[aho]

Yup, easy and to the point process as Double 0 says...Just message them on the website telling them what you want and then pay with Paypal!

[oomslokop]

update on hawaii fit after 2 years of on and off wear. this is tag size 32 on a 33-34 waist.

 

[Belka]

My new Sugar Canes 2009. Sized down 1. 

[Davil]

Nice fits on both of those pairs oomslokop and Belka.  Which model or those Belka?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Like he wrote: Sugarcane 2009

[Davil]

Okay   not one that Im familiar with.  Is this the recycled denim or something different all together?  I thought I knew of most of there stuff.
