Sugar Cane

Snagged some of the SC41470 (sugar canes version of SBG) in the SE sale.
Sz 38
These are one washed and I was worried they would be big from their chart measurements, but min measure significantly smaller than the SE chart. Workout for me tho as they feel almost tailor fit to me. Nice to have a decent lair of black jeans in the rotation and for an unbeatable price lol
Glad the measurements worked out because now I feel confident that I can grab the 18oz 666 when the time comes and have them work for me!

Looks great buddy…you plan on hemming or stacking? I think once they settle and are hemmed they will look even better. Maybe this cut will work for me as some of sugar cane's cuts don't look like they would work based on measurements.
I think you can do the 666, I am typically a 34 waist but, went up to 36 and the 666 fits perfect on me...just something to consider.

Thanks @Ndubya94 - I am wearing them single cuffed right now and after a wash or two I may send off for cuffing. I have a hard time sending my stuff off since I have no one near me to hem.
I got the 666UHR, but they a pretty "relaxed" slim cut on me - I really loved the 18oz IH denim on my old 555 that I outgrew so I think the 666s may be next on my list… as long as they stay around long enough for me to grab a pair in the VERY distant future lol

These are my recently acquired SEXSC06, hard used in W 30. They are so frail and brittle that almost every use produces fresh damages, but this also is a case of deep denim love….I don't think I own any pair of jeans that feels greater!
The knee rip which sharp eyes will have detected in the first pic occurred with my very first outing with them…
And here's a detail of the beautiful repair work that's already been done, there is a welter of examples of these, I believe all done at SESF. Many more will have to come, I only now have to find a repair shop of comparable quality…

Having seen these jeans in real life, the pics don't do them justice. They look good in the pics, in real life they are double wow [emoji108]

@KEVINSTEED - did the best I could with the photos. You're right though, their absolute beauty and uniqueness comes across in real life better still.
@Flash - yeah, rather on the tight side, true. I own another pair of the same model, same size, but worn in by me from new, they are a trifle wider. But they are comfy enough.
@Giles - not quite sure I get the jibe about the three Adam's apples, but perhaps I don't need to…....

Got my 470 Black Fade to Grey back from the talented crew at Indigo Proof ( @tmadd ) after getting a bit chopped off and hemmed.
I gave them a machine wash and machine dry before sending off and the size went down a bit even from
When new (they are factory one washed anyways).Very happy with the silhouette now and these will be a great black jean option for the warmer months ahead. I'm
Interested in seeing how these fade compared to IH SBG…
Current texture:
Definitely a more washed out black color even when compared to a few weeks of wear priorSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gave the SC470 black fade to grey another wash.. These lose dye quickly, but still have a more vintage fade pattern when compared to the IH SBG which is usually super sharp in the examples I have seen. I'm guessing that's because of the light weight nature of the SC version… Anyways, here are pre-wash pics.. They are in the dryer now (yes, I'm not overly careful with my gear... Most of the time)
Cheers,
Adam

@tmg:
Perfect fit, and looks spot on with the white (wheat?) jeans! Wish I could pull off that look
Thanks dude! Im very happy with the way this one fits me. It's the 1962 model and the denim is pretty awesome. It's a lot longer than I anticipated, which is a good thing!
You could pull off wheat jeans! The new 666 pique would be a great option when they hit!

An update on my 470 Black Fade to Grey Type III jeans - worn 1-3 days per week since December of 2015. Washed twice.
