Recycled Denim Sweet Jeans by Sugar Cane
Available in completely limited quantities, and produced as an absolutely limited edition jean, the Japanese selvedge brand Sugar Cane is making an appearance on www.selfedge.com this month with their "Recycled Denim Sweet Jeans".
At $320.00 a pair, and lined with the Sugar Cane logos inside, the jeans have a 13.75 oz weight of completely unsanforized selvedge denim and are woven from Sugar Cane's signature 50/50 Cotton & Sugar Cane Fiber Blend Warp. With Hidden Rivets, a Straight Leg, Recycled 50/50 Denim Yarn Weft & Cotton Fiber Pocket Bags...these jeans might just be your most perfectly aging pair of raw jeans yet, gentlemen.
"The aging on these jeans is sure to be phenomenal, the denim in it's raw state is something that's new to us, a deep dark indigo color with some slub, but under bright light you can tell the weft threads are definitely different than your usual indigo denim," says the company.
However, if you are interested, you better shop fast, because they've only been made in even sizes and once they are sold out...sugar, they're gone...

Gap 1969 Premium Denim
Levi Strauss & Co. is no doubt bothered at rival Gap Inc.'s announcement last week that it is re-launching its 1969 denim line...including a selvage jean that closely resemble Levi's selvage products. Gap gave a sneak peek of the new additions to their denim line at a press preview in New York on Monday. The line includes several new styles and washes for men and women, from skinnies to straight legs, and of course a boyfriend jean for women. Gap's denim design team spent a year and a half coming up with a collection of denim under $60 that rivals premium brands that retail for $150 to $500.
The selvage jeans are made with copper rivets, coin pocket and leg cuffs--and will be available only in select global markets and at Gap's online store. Only a limited number will be made, and each pair is outfitted with its own serial number. Pssst...we found them online. Get 'em while you can! (Source: AllBusiness.com)
