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.
See also these hemp jeans and another version, and jeans dyed with natural indigo, like the original ones were.

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…
Super!
