Sugar Cane Jeans - Yummy!

Think Undesigned's bamboo denim is sweet? Try jeans made from sugar cane. Tokyo-based Toyo Enterprise Company makes Sugar Cane jeans out of Japanese selvage denim spun out of cotton thread and sugar cane fibers. According to The New York Times' Elizabeth Hayt, who had a blurb on Sugar Cane jeans in this Sunday's Style section, the jeans are woven on slow shuttle selvage looms bought from American denim factories in the 1960's. The jeans come in three styles - Okinawa, Hawaii, and Edo Ai. After 40 years in Japan, they're now being imported to the U.S. And evidently, they smell as good as they look.

Available at History Preservation, and in select styles and sizes at Amazon.
