The 2021 from Japan’s Sugar Cane uses the same artisanally woven 14.25oz selvedge denim as their 1947 Jean, but with a slimmer fit. It showcases the same meticulous attention to detail and construction, with a narrower leg and a subtle taper from knee to hem.

Sugar Cane takes a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach to reproducing vintage denim, carefully managing every step - from spinning and dyeing to weaving and stitching. Their fabric is woven slowly on vintage Toyoda shuttle looms. The process is slow and the yields are low, but the texture and character are something special.

A tighter weave and overlapping weft yarns create a denim that softens quickly and fades beautifully over time. Sugar Cane’s fabrics reflect a deep respect for tradition and craftsmanship, made on time-tested machines that are still maintained today.
