Sugar Cane Denim

[knucks]

I can't seem to find an all out correct measurement on rakuten..every site is off by a bit..I need something that is 12" at the crotch (aka, watari)

[edmond]

hi there im just gonna ask whats the slimmest sugarcane model ? i want something that fits like skull 5010xx and samurai s710xx thanks!

[tec761]

I think the slimmest is 1966 but its not close to being that slim.

[edmond]

yeah just checked itout.. they kinda have a high rise too.. hmm... im not sure if it will fit me good.. hehe

[jubei]

SC is not the brand to go to for slim fits. Nothing they offer is really close to the 5010xx or the Sam's

[edmond]

yeah thanks bud i noticed after like searching and looking listing down all the models measurements on rakuten.. hehe

yeap...they're jeans are actually quite baggy. guess dudes in the olden days used to wear their denim baggy...:confused:

My SC40400 are just about right. I would have liked a little more slimness in the leg but actually I'm ok with them as is

[knucks]

So the SC1947 are roomier than the current Levi's 501 STF?

My SC40500N will not be ready for washing in 2 months. I've been sidetracked by my Onis.....

Hi, I just bought a pair of Sugarcane hawaii one wash......the color is awesome, but it bleeds onto everything. Will soaking them keep the color but slow the fading? What temperature should I soak in?

Also, will that itchiness go away after the first soak?

I have never tried these jeans on my own, but i have heard that they will bleed a lot for a very long time. I have read about people who have soaked/washed these jeans many times but they still bleed as much as when they are new.

Thanks Meader, do you know anything regarding solutions to the itchiness of the denim?

Haha, I was thinking that I should write what I know about that too, but I could not find it in your post. Guess I did not scroll down. From what I have heard, it will soften up after you wear them for a while. So just wear them.

[ahsu7]

Doing now......Thx.

[sbrguy]

i currently have these as one wash and yes they are like you said itchy and crocking a lot.

but i did notice that when i cold soaked them even after they were "one washed" this make the crocking a little bit less, and the color did not change at all.

maybe try that again.

I'm working on a brand new pair of Okinawas, bought one wash: They bled like crazy the first week, but now have seem to have nearly stopped all together. First couple of days had blue hands, blue legs, and a blue sofa, but now I treat them like all of my other raw denim and don't seem to be getting indigo all over everything.

I don't really find them itchy at all either. You can clearly feel the stiff sugar cane fibers when you run your hands over them, and the denim has a nice thick, coarseness to it, but have never found myself thinking "boy these jeans are itchy"...

The fading has been much faster than my pbjs so far. The PBJ denim is coarser and more uneven, but the SC denim seems much inkier, with more indigo to move around on the surface of the yarn

[tweeds]

to be honest i think for anyone with eczema (a common condition in the tropics), the sugarcanes will definitely pose a bit of a problem. in that sense, they can get itchy...definitely felt a little like they were irritating my skin when i put them on. doesn't mean i won't get a pair in the future though.

[deadkidz]

i was wondering if any knows if there were 2 versions of the sc-40400n. what im asking is, was there a natural indigo pair and a synth. indigo pair? and if so was the model number diff. or was it still 40400?

[tweeds]

IIRC, 40400 is natural indigo while 40401 is a blend.

[Pandemonium]

yeah, just one more soak i guess.

shouldn't shrink it too much.

it does look relaxed, but it looks more baggy than anything else to me.

[viv1984viv]

my 40500 dont look at all fitted in the seat.

[aubrgene]

I finally saw it the other day. It's designed by Christophe, the owner and it's based on 30's workwear with a twist. It has a patch ( rather large ) on one side, cinch-back, side pockets and uses 3 different kind of cottons/fabric on the denim itself. I didn't buy it on the spot because I bought the KMW "Rocker" this week and can't justify buying 2 denims in one week. It's quite a unique jeans. Check and call them up for more info:

looks fine to me, ordo--the proportions are alright and don't think it looks particularly baggy (in the evisu sense). one more soak wouldn't hurt though.

[tangerine]

ordo i did a second soak on my 40400n and it didn't seem to have any effect at all... didn't lose noticeable indigo but didn't seem to shrink them more either. FWIW

After my PBJ and Onis I was actually surprised at how little the SC40400 shrank. I've been cuffing mine which makes the fit look completely different than yours...

[Pandemonium]

blm14, what's the size on your SC in comparison to your real size/other jeans sizes, and how does it fit in that relation.

Hey would you post some pix of your fit for comparison?

[blm14]

If I can get my POS digicam to work I will post some pix. Basically I did some wet stretching on the leg opening so that they look COMPLETELY straight and almost a hair bootcut - kind of like RRDS. I purchased my normal size (36) and was glad that I did. They were VERY snug at first but wearing them in the tub during the soak and a few days wear helped that out. The really drastic crocking has finally started to slow down some but they still bleed a ton.
