Sugar Cane Denim

[C100]

Are Cat's Paw chinos made in Japan?

Cats paw chinos are made in china

[Sugar Mountain]

That's correct. Just a cheaper pair for work.

I just ordered a pair of the 2009 47 Type II Sugar Canes on Rakuten. I found them in size 34 (one wash), from Rogues, Co. Ltd.

 

I have the Okinawa as well which are my favorite pair of denim. The 47 is a great comfortable fabric and has stretched in the thigh as I hoped. They are simple and well priced denim for the quality and would fit someone with "athletic" legs just fine. I noticed the front pockets are easily accessible compared to other brands I've owned (TFH 2009, Momo 0901, Eternal 811).

 

The Okinawa does have a lot more attention to detail. For example it has cool front and rear pockets. The rear is lined with koi fish images. The Okinawa for me, is still a better over all pair of denim, but for the price, the 2009 47 is spectacular. 

 

I'll put some pics up of each soon.

So do the okinawas get soft after a long time of wear? I have a 50% cotton 50% sugarcane fiber pair of custom made and they were so itchy I couldn't get through the break in process. (I tried to search this thread, read 20 pages but didn't find it)

 

I got my '47 raws today, it was great to soak the denim for the first time and wear it right after. Jean Shop Ave also included packets of Sugar Cane detergent! I put my other pair of 47s up in the closet to retire until the end of my next bulk cycle.

My 2009s are only slightly slimmer than my Hawaiis and Okinawas, mostly below the knee. I'd say it's 2cm at most. Bought the same size, can still move around just as well in them.

I'll join the 1947 circle-jerk for a moment: they are my favorite jeans, period. The cut is perfect and the denim is beautiful, new or old. I also like to wash my jeans fairly frequently, so the fact that they hold their indigo quite well is an additional bonus. I'd buy several more pairs if they used the 66, 55, and 2009/13 fabrics on that cut--alas!

Okinawa Rainbow knee.

 

[rustygoose]

Those are just amazing, pretty angry i lost last ebay auction....... well someday i get a pair.  

[Broark]

I gotta say the 2013 summer jean is really tempting me...

[ColdsnapBryan]

My little collection of 1947s; left is size 34 Hard Wash (semi retired), middle is size 34 Raw soaked once, right is size 36 one wash. 

 

[bradl]

Damn dude the left 34's are fucking awesome.

[ColdsnapBryan]

Thank you! I've considered investing in getting them repaired. They have a ton of holes, both knees that started out with wear from asphalt but I'd rip the hole larger when stepping through the pant and getting a toe stuck, hah. And right pocket hole from tools poking through.

Some SC2009 pics here. I got the pair last year in take 5 and used it a good 4 months before relegating it as my 'dirty pair' for pistol classes and plinking in the range. The denim is nice but a little on the thin side. These were washed 3 times i think plus the initial warm soak.  Phone cam pics:

Nice 2009. Does anyone have a pair of 1947 and 2009 in the same size? Does the 2009 just taper more from the knee down? Same sorta anti fit in the hips and thigh?

[Soks]

Don't have the 47s but I've got 2009s and have tried on 47s in the same size when deciding which to buy. 2009s are slimmer in the top block and thigh. Lower rise too (not terribly low, though).

[ColdsnapBryan]

I see, thanks for the info! I think the '47 is the best cut for my build. 

[Maynard Friedman]

You can just compare the Self Edge measurements for both models in equivalent sizes to get a fuller understanding of the differences between the two.

[SuperJackle]

Apologies if this has been asked recently, but does anyone know if selfedge is going to do another sc collab? It seems pretty incredible.

Sexsc06, not the jungle cloth one(which also looks pretty damn legit).

At my size, the 2009/Okinawa/Hawaii are almost the same up top, and it's really not that tapered at all below. Just stacked them on top of each other and the 2009 is only 1cm slimmer through the legs and the waist is actually half an inch larger. The SE measurements were not my experience.

[tmadd]

The waist on the 2009 will be a little bigger per size than 1947 and Okinawa/Hawaii.  The rise on the 2009 is lower by a meaningful amount and there is significantly less room through the hips and seat.  The waist on the 1947 also has a significant taper from the hips, so it tends to work well for people that have larger hips/thighs/ass relative to their waist.  

[ColdsnapBryan]

Thanks for the additional information I think I should grab a pair of Okinawa's one of these days instead of the 2009s. 

[jonmhenderson]

I am in the market for some lightly worn Hawaiis or Okinawas, 32 waist, if anyone has some for sale.

1947s

[BukkakeKing]

I'll join the family ! Bought the SC2009 from selfedge... Looking forward seeing this denim. 12oz sounds promising and perfect for the summer heat in the south of France

I'll post pics to share my enthusiasm

[Maynard Friedman]

Looking at some Sugar Cane Hawaiis. I wear a size 32 in most loose cut models from repro brands - Warehouse Warren/1001/700, SDA 101, LVC 55, Momo 0901, Skull 5000 and a 31 in SDA 001, Full Count 0105 and Ande Whall Buffalo. My true waist is around 33.

Would a 33 be the best bet for Hawaiis as I've heard they run small? Anyone with experience of them compared to other brands?

[Jared_Lee]

I wear the Warehouse 1001 in 31, Full Count 0105 in 30 and preferred a 32 in the Hawaii. I just got both a 31 and 32 Sugar Cane Hawaii delivered on Friday and opted to sell the 31.

[Maynard Friedman]

Thanks Jared, this seems to back my thinking. Do you happen to own Okis too by chance?
