Sugar Cane Denim

[josh mullen]

Does anyone have measurements for a pair of 1966s, size 38?

[Marw]

Sugarcane SEXSC06, Countless washes and soakes. Worn for a couple of years. Retired a couple of years ago(for obvious reasons)

 

[501XX4EVER]

I'm not interested in these myself as they would be too small, but I spotted these on ebay, they seem to be pretty old, according to the seller anyway...

They're a limited run from about 10 years ago I believe and this pair is old stock from a shop in Belgium called Supra-Quintessence. They were listed a couple of weeks ago but I think they failed to meet the reserve price and have now been relisted. They are very nice and I may have been tempted if they were my size.

Just received a Sugar Cane shirt through from SelfEdge, great service as usual. Beautiful fabric used for this shirt, quick pics:

Perhaps you should try Sugar Beet. The final consumer product is similar to Sugar Cane, however, it's more likely to be found in temperate rather than tropical climates.

LOVE THIS.

Sugar Cane Military shirt I bought about two months back. Weather is finally perfect. 

[PeterParker]

SExSC06 @ ~1 year of wear, ~5 washes (wabi-sabi)

 

[Sugar Mountain]

It looks like you really brought out the texture in the denim. How did the back pockets get so crinkled?

[xchen]

They all had that crinkling because of the pocket lining

[aho]

1966 (aka my MF Lot 64's); not sure how long worn or how many washes but these are about 3 inches too tight in the waist for me now...shame...

The lining of the rear pockets was sanforized and once the jean was soaked or washed the rear pockets shrunk far more than the lining making the outer fabric crinkle.

Those 1966s belong in the grail thread. I've got a pair, just can't get down with the mom fit.

[UkeNo]

If anyone happens to have a pair of hese they're looking to part with:

Sugar Cane - Edo Ai

Unwashed SC40501N

Or

One Wash SC40501A

Give me a shout.

I realise they're from a while ago.

Thanks

I was looking at those too (no intention to buy though). What size do you need? I think I saw some shops still having sizes left

[UkeNo]

Thanks BF...

I ideally need a 33" waist.

So was looking for a Unwashed size 34 or maybe a 33.

Would even be tempted to buy a Raw size 32 or even 31 and not soak.

It's all Hollows fault really.

I'm aware that Pants Shop Avenue have some but the largest is a Raw size 31.

I've emailed for measurements on them.

Give me a shout if you know of any others.

Thanks

[beautiful_FrEaK]

You got PM

I'm sure a size 33 will work for you!

[hollowsleather]

Since we'ere on the subject (though I think the two of you already saw), here are some Edo AI SC40501N after first soak:

Like I said on Denimbro, some fit pics would be nice

[Sugar Mountain]

Having a quality denim store in town like Take5 is both a blessing and a curse. I dropped by before Christmas and the shop was having a sale, with additional discount on top of the already generous deduction for members. I'd been struggling with the fit of my Warehouse 1001XX so tried on a pair of Sugar Cane 1947 and was really surprised with how much I liked the fit. I guess I'd assumed they would be wider-cut than the 1001XX but true to size they ended up feeling relatively fitted for a repro cut. They are now my daily jean until spring when I get back into my Fullcount so here are some rough and ready fit pics:

 

 

 

 

At a cost of HKD1079, they are the cheapest jeans I've worn since my old pair of Nudies but the quality is superb. Even my wife complimented me on the denim, which is something else! I love how simple they are - just the pure essence of what constitutes a classic pair of jeans with no bells or whistles. Brilliance.

[itsbenhere]

Really really like that fit!  That type is definitely my favorite... clearly comfortable but not unnecessarily baggy and wide anywhere.  How's the rise feel?

[Sugar Mountain]

Cheers Ben. The front and back rise in terms of height are what I'm used to at this point and feel comfortable. I can't hang with much lower and it also means I can sneak these into my workplace by tucking a shirt into them. One thing about the top block on the 1947 however is that it feels much snugger across the front somehow. Without going into too much detail, it took a week of wear before they weren't crushing my meat and two veg. Now it's all good, thankfully!

That fit is ace. OG SC1947's with broken arcs and tab are a grail pair for me, slightly ashamed that I have watched a couple go for <$200 on the 'bay.

 

What are the fitment issues with the 1001XX (15th)? Too full of a cut? Slightly concerned having just purchased a pair, although measurements seem similar to my Warehouse 700J's which I'm still loving the crap out of.

[Sugar Mountain]

Don't let me put you off the 1001XX - I just need a size down as I'm really swimming in the waist on mine (tagged 31). I tried the 2012 1001XX OW in size 31 at the Warehouse store and they fit great but the 15th didn't shrink down in the waist quite as much as I wanted and I've lost a little blub around the middle since buying them in the summer too. I will return to the 1001XX or at least another Warehouse cut in a few years, no doubt.
