SUGAR CANE
Despite its American-sounding name, SUGAR CANE is actually the first postwar Japanese manufacturer to produce U.S.-bound garments. Founded in 1965 to supply clothing for U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan, the brand initially focused on items for military base workers. After the Vietnam War, it shifted toward the domestic market while preserving uncompromising “authentic American workwear” quality—especially in denim, a category for which the brand is now widely respected.
13.5oz Selvedge Denim—rugged yet surprisingly comfortable.
Every step—spinning, dyeing, weaving, and sewing—is carefully controlled to recreate vintage denim. The 13.5oz selvedge is woven from uneven No.7 yarns in both warp and weft, giving the fabric a rich, textured character.
It maintains just the right amount of ruggedness, yet the one-wash finish gives it a soft, broken-in feel from day one. Expect beautiful aging and color fades—the pleasure of wearing denim that truly evolves with you.
Faithfully reproduced vintage details
The action pleats on both sides of the front placket were originally designed to increase mobility for laborers. They were even sometimes unstitched to widen the fit, adjusting the garment to the wearer’s needs.
The lower-set left chest pocket is another hallmark of the 1st model.
Deer leather patch, reinforced sleeve-bar tacks, and rivets—all the details age beautifully and enhance the jacket’s character over time.
The cinch-back at the hem allows you to adjust the fit according to your styling.
Due to loom-width limitations in the past, sizes 46 and up had T-back construction (two-piece back panels).
This model is non–T-back, seen in sizes under 46—cleaner and more minimal in appearance, offering a refined look even as it ages.
A timeless boxy silhouette that still feels modern
Short in length with generous width through the body and arms, the boxy fit pairs effortlessly with any bottom. Easy to layer and incredibly versatile, it blends seamlessly into modern wardrobes while maintaining its vintage identity. Enjoy a silhouette that stays relevant season after season.
