Sugar Cane Denim

[HoustonChris]

Well, I broke down and bought a pair of Okinawas when I was in LA and had a chance to try them on.  I like the fit on these a lot.

 

 

 

For those of you that have a pair- that snakeskin patch isn't going to hold up well, is it?

[Max Power]

Fantastic fit and boots!

[Sugar Mountain]

Yup, that's a perfect fit on the jeans. Looks great with the SDA tee and the boots (which brand?).

[HoustonChris]

Thanks; boots are Wesco, by the way.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

great fit Chris!

nope after a couple of washes the skin was peeling off. tbh, it looks better when its beat up.

Does anyone know anything about these:

I know this isn't the same stuff as the SC40500, but HPE doesn't have any real info listed.

Pretty sure HP doesn't actually have them in stock, I emailed them and never heard a response, ended up getting my pair from Pants Shop Avenue, which is now down to 29, 30, 31:

~$200 shipped is a ridiculous fucking steal for how awesome these jeans are by the way.  They are something special.

Going to let my newly acquired Edo Ai SC40501's (one wash) S33 go - just too big for me sadly.

 

Any interest - pm me

 

Thanks

a very big thank you to seul!

More pics to come

What do you think of them b_F?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I really like them, just as I like my SC40400.

 

Although the SC40601 is advertized as loose weave and all that, the denim has quite a dense appearance. Might because of the one-wash state my pair came in. The denim has a normal thickness for 13oz but when you look at the selvedge line, "damn the denim looks thin"

I am glad that I went with size 34. I considered size 33 as the Slack Denim should be sooo stretchable and my SC40400 are also size 32...but my SC40601 measured just 32" when I unpacked them yesterday. So stretch is needed anyway

 

As usual, the construction of Sugar Cane is just great! Only downside: Due to the one-wash process and the long storage there are some discolorations.

 

When I get the chance I will take more pics this evening.

 

What is your opinion about them?

Observation from lunch break: flies seem to love the SugarCane fabric...there were around 10 flies around our table and they all seemed to favor me (don't ask, I shower regularly). They all were sitting at the jeans...a bit embarrassing 

[Maynard Friedman]

Were they congregating around the fly area?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

they preferred my knees

[oomslokop]

bee's knees!

[ColdsnapBryan]

Would love to see more pictures. And even measurements! I'm a 34 in 1947 and was wondering how they would work on me. 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

First, fit pics then some more pics as Maynard...well...just being Maynard..

 

 

 

 

I just took some quick measurements, not the full programme

 

Size 34 o/w

waist was at 32"

inseam 33,5"

leg opening 8,75"

The slubby, hairy and very interesting Slack Denim

 

 

The buttons

 

Rivets and pocket bag fabric

 

Leather patch

 

The back pocket embroidery

 

Lined back pockets

 

And last but not least the selvedge

[regedit]

•Speechless• The Fabric......! 

 

Hopefully, They will release this fabric again in near future..

[Planetarium]

That and the various colors of the Okinawa are my dream reissues. Hasn't been a truly interesting limited release from Sugar Cane in a while, but that hasn't diminished my love. I will post my Hawaiis at the end of the summer; they are turning into something rarely seen, but I want to give them a bit more time.

 

Edit: slack denim just turned up in my size...

[ColdsnapBryan]

Nice! I thought those were Hawaii's at first. 

[kiya]

If anybody is interested.. i've got the Slack Weave jean shown above, super cheap.. $130 a pair, deadstock, size 29 only.

 

EDIT: These are now sold.

Right, I give in. My curiosity has the best of me.

 

Since my Mrs has blatantly stolen my latest purchase for herself, i'm in the market for something else. Lots of (dis)respectable people giving love to sugarcane so who am I to argue.

 

Leaning towards the Okinawas, purely because I like the slightly trippy arcs (if you can call them that) more than the plainer pockets. And the patch of course. And the little details like carp pocket linings. And the material. Lots to like it seems!

 

Now I hate to be 'that guy' but there seem to be conflicting measurements between some of the stockists and differing opinions and I can't get anywhere near a pair in person so...... If I wear Sam 710's in 29" comfortably, would I go the same with the Okis? The pair I am looking at are one wash if that makes a difference. Any comparison as regards fit would be very helpful.

 

Ps thats a really nice fit B_f.

Kiya, wish you said "size 33" or "34"...

That answers my question. Could have sworn it was a 28 at SELA, but I guess not.

Would you recommend sizing down 5 on these?

 

10

 

Also bf those jeans are awesome. I think I might have to suck up the hem width and just get a pair of SC as those are amazing.
