Sugar Cane Denim

The patch reads SC40401A and the A stands for the one-wash version.

(N would be the raw version)

^ That’s supposed to be how it works but I think I’ve heard that’s not always the case in practice. The measurements should confirm either way and realistically, you should be able to tell by handling them.

They look raw to me, the patch looks like it hasn’t touched water. What’s the waist measurement (BiG) style and the inseam? 

Thanks Maynard. They’ve def been hemmed. The inseam is just 75cm (29,5 inches). Waist is about 42cm (33 inches).

 

[Spiraltoy]

I also came to the conclusion when researching the style nr but I think there’s just to little puckering. Some on the back yoke but that’s it.

@Spiraltoy

Check the inner care labels. I would have thought if they have been one washed they would at least look a bit creased up with light some indigo staining.

[Maynard Friedman]

They may have had a cold soak with no agitation, although the waist looks about right for a raw pair. If nothing else, it's keeping us all in suspense...

Smart tip regarding the care labels there @bod but same ambiguity there.

[Spiraltoy]

They’re having a soak now anyways.

@Spiraltoy $20 deserves a round of applause... great find

[Maynard Friedman]

It makes those Sugar Canes even sweeter.

I’ve had to wash these black 1947s (and everything else I wear) pretty often since my kid has gotten a habit of wiping his hands on me whenever he touches something gross (which is all the time) and have gotten some pretty nice grays coming out in a short amount of time. Really love how this black fabric ages. 

[Spiraltoy]

Small update regarding the above raw/one wash questions. Seems they where raw. Got about 4cm in length and nearly as much in the waist. Top block is much trimmer over all and much more puckering. Thanks everyone who chimed in!
I’ll update with fit pics ones I’m home again.

thanks to beautiful freak for telling me about bears toyko. shipping was really fast and they already had been shortened to 32" length by DC4 which is next door.

my W32"  "one wash" pair measures roughly 34" in waist and 36" in length. I would expect these to fully shrink to a real 32" waist and and a 30" leg after a couple of washes.

if I had known better I would have sized down to a W30. when the sun gets out again I will do some photos for comparison to the us made version, the denim comes really dark compared to the SC42021 which I got earlier this year. anyone else got a pair of these 1955z?

Woah, I love how much the gray is coming out. How did you go about washing your pair? Contemplating washing mine soon.

Got my pair w30 today from Bears. I actually really like the zipper, but that's probably because I haven't used on a pair of jeans in probably over a decade. Here are some shitty pics I took in my room really quick. My initial thought pulling these out of the bag were if they were even one-washed or not since there was hardly any creasing.

Unfortunately the thighs are a bit tight so if anyone has a w31 to trade or would like to take these off my hands, I'd let em go for cheap.

^measurements on those? Might be interested in 'em.

I flip them inside out and wash them with other laundry on cold and air dry. I'm guessing i've been washing them about every 10 wears.

How much shrinkage would you say you got?

only noticeable thing was the length which i think i lost a little under an inch maybe? the rest of the jean shrank a little but stretched back out quickly. 

[SmokeStackLightning]

Has anyone here been wearing the 1966? Thinking it will be my next pair. 

Is it the same denim as the 1947?

[Maynard Friedman]

Different denim I believe.

[scooby]

Got the remaining shrink out of my 303

I went a size up for a more modern fit

[lance]

^ Great lookin’ jacket!

Different denim! They’re really good—I’ll have to snap photos of my faded pair soon.

[youngofthesoonest]

I washed a bunch of jeans and snapped some photos of the 47 black jeans. It looks a little lighter in photos but the grays are def coming out. 

[youngofthesoonest]

A bunch of examples of the 1947 exists but figured I’d drop in my photos. Still relatively dark but starting to show some lighter indigo colors. These have taken a backseat while i wear these warehouse 1001 but I’ll get back to them again. These seem like they’d be a better colder weather jean  since the weave feels much tighter.

Question: What's the differences between the 1966's and the 1947's?  Thanks in advance.
