Sugar Cane Denim

[Foxy2]

Managed to expand my Sugar Cane collection a bit over the past months with a few old, 2nd hand jeans...

[Foxy2]

This is the SC40105A model which comes in selvage oxford/chambray - part of the Okinawa family...

Perfect summer pair once I get the top button fixed.

SC40285

SC40382A - boot cut and therefore non-selvage, a more modern cut with low front/back rise and zipper...

Not sure how the low rise will work out, but I dig the persimmon and will give the denim in this cut a go this coming spring...

[Foxy2]

SC40510H - I don't think I'm gonna wear this much due to the hard wash, but I couldn't give up the opportunity to own one...

[Foxy2]

So far, so good/bad, but here it comes: a true rainbow of colours...

For sure, the rainbow is pure gimmick, but I'm loving it!

"Begin - Just drift with groove"

Still keep digging for a raw pair 2nd hand in my size - have seen a few pairs popping up here and there, unfortunately not with a reasonable price tag yet...

[hollowsleather]

Foxy, those are amazing.  Do you know if they made any other jeans with the denim from the Okinawa Rainbow jeans?

 

(with rainbow dye on the warp, rather than weft)

 

I want them to make a jacket or shirt from that denim sooooo bad.

[Foxy2]

Nope, AFAIK the Denim was exclusively used for this model

impressive collection foxy2

The Edo Ai have landed:



The denim is really unlike anything else I have or have seen. It has a wave type of patten where the green alternates with the blue. From the dying process I assume?
Not to mention the slub and nep. Crazy!

The fit is very comfortable and well fitted without being baggy or boxy. A higher rise than normal on me and still plenty of room in the front pockets. I like it a lot.

A special thank to Hollows and Beautiful_Freak for bringing these to my attention and helping me source them.

More pictures to come.
Cheers Guys.

 

Edit: I have just noticed that the older versions of these (eg Hollows pair) have an arc and Tab. Mine don't.

These must be post L3vi's Lawsuit etc.They're still great though.

Great Pick-Up! So are those from Naoki? Or which shop? I forgot

[UkeNo]

Thanks BF,

They're from Earthmarket on Rakuten via SuTo corp as they didn't ship internationally themselves.

I'm really pleased with them.

Looks like I managed to grab the last s33 as they're now sold out.

This is the SC40501a (one wash).

To be fair the wash seems quite light as there isn't much creasing and the denim is still quite stiff. Great as far as I'm concerned!

Thanks

[bradl]

Damn, that is a steal of a deal for some ai, glad you grabbed the last 33 as it dulls the pain of not being able to afford/get them.

[Foxy2]

Could somebody please verify - I thought the AI (natural indigo) models are SC40300, SC40400 and SC40500?

Furthermore, there should be a hand loom model in natural indigo - SC40600?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

And there is also the SC40200 and also a SC40100...but I'm not sure if it is also AI. It's also a Hawaii model

[aho]

awaiting Double 0's grail 47's...

[Foxy2]

So, SC40501 is the regular indigo version of the natural indigo version SC40500 - the denim is the same (cotton/sugarcane fibers), but the details on the pants are different...

40200N- Shikoku Tokushima Masa ... w/c i'm hunting down to replace the 40400N

[oomslokop]

since 2011, intermittent wear, always machine wash (every month of wear or less). #nofilter just after the last wash.

Me too garden gnome, me too.

SEPDX has raw 47s (and 2009s!) right now--just sayin'.

[aho]

Double 0's pair on db and History Preservations sample pair should be more than reason enough for people to jump on the SC bandwagon....Here are the latter (1947):

[Broark]

I think the 1947 cut is the one for me.

Last thing I need is more denim right now!

[Sugar Mountain]

I don't like to advocate people picking up more jeans than they need, but the 1947 model comes with my highest recommendations and if you can get a raw version, even better. I haven't seen that sample pair above before, damn... 

 

(cool to see more activity in this thread as of late btw)

[jstavrin]

aho: how have I never seen those before?! Gorgeous!

[Broark]

Well I did just sell another pair so...

Jealous of that peacoat, just today I was telling my friend I need one of those or a RMC one.

1947s look really nice, you guys are killing me.
