We need more pictures here!
Here are my 47's, they have been worn for a little more than 11 months and wahed 5 or 6 times when I took these pictures. The first pictures show what they looked that when they were 4 months old.

Looking GOOD my friend!!!
Definately like to see pics in another 4 months or so.

Wow, they look nice! \(0_0)/

Would you perhaps be able to show us how the patch has changed? (the belt is blocking the view)

My SdA's are coming along more slowly... *waiting for fading*

Nice fades... Do all (or most) Sugar Canes fade similarly, or are there major differences between the models? Sorry for the newbie question..

[Atzec]

i´d say the major difference are the individuals wearing them.

[mikecch]

Yes, agreed.

The different models will fade differently as well, depending on denim construction (left/right twill, length of cotton threads, weight, etc), the type of dye used (natural indigo, pure indigo, mixed synthetic + natural, etc), the dyeing method, and the cut of jeans (the 'tighter' the jeans, the easier to fade).

Can't think of anything else at the moment. I feel sleepy~~~~

[arc3d]

Does SC attempt to 're-create' the fade of the jeans that it's repro'ing? Is that possible?

[mikecch]

Interesting question. I have no idea whether SugarCane tries to reproduce the fade or not - but I think its definately possible (as long as the denim construction, denim material, dye and dyeing method, etc are similar, I don't see why not).

octo: Your pants are beautiful and I wait for the next update in a year.

About fading process: Most important influence of course is, how long you can stand it wearing them in raw unwashed condition. You get more intense fading out of them, if worn dry. The only problem is, that when breaking them in at the beginning, you should prevent honeycomb cracks as long as the denim is very stiff. That means best is to break them in in the cold seasonwithout sweating in them which makes the denim even stiffer which could end in some cracks. This can happen also, if wearing them loose, which can create some large folding lines with some crack potential.
