Sugar Cane Denim

How much stretching can I expect from the SC40400N? I got one in 36 which has a waist measurement on 94CM which on me is like SKIN tight. But so long as I can stretch the waist an inch or so I should be fine. Is this overly-hopeful?

[denimdestroyedmylife]

they will stretch a couple inches if you like

i try to cinch mine up higher on the waist to avoid the stretch, but it is difficult to avoid

just got these from pauken4 SC40200N

the fit

[john11f]

In 2 months I'll be washing my Edo Ai's. I hope they turn out well. Creating some semblance of fade....

As in SC40500's? Cannot wait.

If I buy a pair of one wash Okinawa's in a 36" waist and I'm a 34" waist will the jeans shrink enough after washing?

[blm14]

I've been buying my raws in a size that fits perfect in the waist pre-soak and then just soaking them in the tub while being worn to prevent too much waist shrinkage. That's been working really well so far.

No. Size 34 measure about 36 pre-soak, and 34 post-soak.

yeah i dunno what u all are talking about, my Okinawas did not shrink at all post wash

[blm14]

I just got my SC40400N and they bleed more than any other jean I've seen in my life! I havent yet soaked them and I'm hoping that mitigates it, but how do other people who own this model deal with the level of indigo loss? Just putting them over about 30 seconds my hands turned completely blue, much worse than the eternals...

[denimdestroyedmylife]

true-----they bleed like mai lee

to be honest, two washes and 10 months later, they still bleed more than most raw jeans.

Did you get them in one wash-state?

I've been thinking about getting a pair of Cane 1955 zipper fly SC41955? Does anyone have these and what's the feedback on them? Sizing down or up, the fit... etc etc.... thanks...

[watchman]

the fit is really, really, relaxed. At least in the rinsed ones.

[knucks]

i think i am getting myself some sc1947...basically they're the same as levi's 501xx?

[knucks]

ok i am having trouble..some sites i find onewash to be 30 waist of a tagged 32 and mil-mil doesn't say anything about the waist of a tagged 32..

[toufu]

knucks: fyi, my 47s size 30 that were snug wen i got them now measure 32

i got 30/34 sc 47s

&

32/34 lvc 47's

...the 32/34 lvc 47's are slimmer everywhere (waist, leg, thigh) compared to my 30/34 canes

[knucks]

I'm not worried about the waist, i don't want them tight around my legs...

[indigo_junkie]

I just got my pair of no wash 55s a few days ago. fits comfortably on the waist, but the seat is HUGE. people at school were telling me that they look like i've got nappies on underneath. I'm going to drop by the laundromat before school tomorrow and give it a hot wash + hot dry and see if that helps. The jeans looked good lying flat, and are really comfortable to wear (loving the rough slubby feeling and the hairyness - much more rougher than my nudies).

[knucks]

that's the problem i do not want to have ^. I want something that is low-rise and not baggy up top but loose through the legs..

[toufu]

lol i don't think you'll ever hear about canes being tight around the leg, just get the smallest size you could fit into in the waist...that should make the ass more fitted, the legs will always be loose

[knucks]

Aren;t the SC1947 repros of the Levi's 501xx? If so, my 501s are definitely fitted through the legs..

[tec761]

Should I size down on sc1945 one wash. Will they be annoying if I dont. I bought a pair in my true waist size and it should be here soon.

[indigo_junkie]

Just an update on my 55s. Did a hot wash and then stuck it in an industrial dryer for 20min (it's almost hypnotic how it tumbles around like that). Indigo bleed wasn't too bad. The inside pockets were stained blue a little, and it's a bit bluer overall. The fit feels completely different though. Lost 2 inches in the cuff (fits perfect now), about an inch in the waist and like 2 inches in the seat. Had to struggle a little to button it on at first (it's a 34 btw), but by the end of the day it stretched out to just a little tighter than the raw state, and it should loosen up to what it was before in a few days. The major change was the seat. It doesn't look huge anymore. It's still loose, but I didn't buy these thinking that they were slimfits.

[indigo_junkie]

The waist stretches really easily. I might size down for my next pair of canes (probably a 47).

pics of the fit now?

[indigo_junkie]

My mobile (cell) phone camera is cactus atm. Will try to borrow a friend's camera and post pics later.

lol sc's are a repro of the original 501xx

levis changed the fit on the 501xx

so the 501xx that you get now is nothing like its orignal counterpart

[sbrguy]

got my hawaii one washes in the mail the otehr day from big and they shortened them to 29.5 inches inseam, i cold soaked them again to get out even more strinkage before wearing and the leg lenth shrank about another 3/8 inch so almost a 1/2 inch.

take this into account when you get your denim shortened even if they are "one wash" they will still shrik so if if you want to get out that little bit more shrinkage before wearing, cold soak them for a least a few hours, i let them soak for 4 hours. the waiste measurement didn't change at all.

good luck.
