surely there is no contest here- the latter is a more premium product in every sense no??

If it's all the same to you, I would go straight for a pair of the Sorahikos. I prefer the fit, denim, hardware, cutomer service, color, brand, longevity and fades of 45 RPM... I prefer the Sugarcane price, though

It should be noted, however, that both jeans are nice and have great color falling samples floating around the internet.

Japan through parachutes. It will end up a good deal cheaper than the NYC store even after shipping and fees.

So how is the Sorahiko better in terms of quality? Is the fit the same for both? And how does the Samurai S5000VX compare with the Sugar Cane and the Sorahiko?

I'm going to Japan next week and need to understand these questions in advance!

Why not try them all on and decide while you're there? And no, none of the 3 are the same fit.
