A Japanese company is making jeans out of a blend of sugar cane and selvage denim. The cane used is Sweet Sorghum, otherwise known as Sweet Millet. It’s a type of grass grown all over the world for making a molasses-like syrup and animal feed. The Sugarcane jeans that feature this fiber have a faint sweet smell and may have occasional woody tufts poking out of the fabric! Some of the jeans are dyed with persimmon.
They are available from: Rakuten (Japan), Saddlemen (Japan). They can also be found at Amazon

Wow, that is very cool. Not as pricey as APO Jeans, but totally unique.
I wonder if that sweet smell fades away with the wash…
