Description
With the 1947 Model Regular Straight, Sugar Cane delivers a faithful reproduction of one of the archetypes of post-war American denim. Inspired by jeans produced in the late 1940s, this model reflects a period when denim regained richer detailing and more refined construction after wartime restrictions. It stands as a historical benchmark of the classic jean.
The fabric is a 14.25oz selvedge denim developed through a full historical reproduction process. Every step — from spinning to indigo dyeing and weaving on adapted looms — follows traditional techniques. The result is a dense, balanced, and authentic fabric designed to age naturally and develop a strong patina over time.
The construction follows the essential codes of classic American denim: robust build, 5-pocket layout, functional metal rivets, archive-inspired buttons, and contrasting stitching. The overall result is a solid foundation faithful to the standards of its era, without unnecessary modern alterations.
The Regular Straight fit offers a classic straight leg, true to 1940s silhouettes. Neither too wide nor tapered, it ensures a natural and timeless drape designed to remain relevant across decades while preserving its vintage authenticity.
Made in Japan by Sugar Cane, this model showcases Toyo Enterprise’s expertise in heritage reproduction. A true reference in Japanese denim, it stands as a durable and evolving classic, faithful to the spirit of original vintage jeans.
