Sugar Cane Recycled Denim Sweet Jeans
In conventional jean production the excess fabric from the cutting room is discarded, Sugar Cane has taken this fabric and macerated it and spun it back into yarn which is then used to produce the denim. The recycled yarn is used as the weft (fill) thread while the warp is unused pure indigo dyed 50/50 (sugarcane/cotton) blend yarn, resulting in 13.75oz Selvedge Unsanforized Denim. These Straight Leg Fit Jeans are extremely limited in production and only available at Self Edge outside of Japan.
