Sugar Cane 1947 14.25 oz Denim Jeans Indigo
Sugar Cane
Sugar Cane continues to use period-correct shuttle looms and sewing machines, prioritising craftsmanship over productivity. The result is good, old-fashioned American workwear made in Japan, produced with an unwavering respect for tradition and authenticity.
Sugar Cane’s 1947 denim is one of the most faithful reproductions of the iconic Levi’s 501 from the post-war era. Every detail, from the fit to the fabric to the construction, has been carefully modelled after an original pair of 1947's. The cut stays true to the classic silhouette, featuring a mid-to-high rise and a straight, slightly roomy leg.
Period-correct details include a button fly, hidden back pocket rivets, and a selvedge coin pocket - all executed with exceptional precision in Japan. The 14.25oz rope-dyed indigo denim is woven on 1930s-era narrow shuttle looms from a 60/40 blend of Zimbabwean and American double ring-spun yarns, resulting in a fabric with rich texture and depth.
While the denim is unsanforized, it has been one-washed to remove shrinkage and ensure a comfortable fit from day one. A benchmark in reproduction denim & one of Sugar Cane's 'iconic' models, these jeans are crafted in Japan with Sugar Cane’s unmatched dedication to authentic workwear heritage.
