Sugar Cane, Hawaii Denim, One Wash

SC40401A

We proudly welcome Japanese denim specialists Sugar Cane to Wardrobe 19 as the only retailer in Denmark!

Sugar Cane is a Japanese clothing brand who honors the history of workwear by reconstructing and reproducing iconic workwear pieces down to the smallest detail with pure Japanese quality and finesse.

Today Sugar Cane is a renowned denim brand with a unique market position as one of the best denim manufacturers in Japan.

When cotton became short in supply the textile specialists at Sugar Cane were the first in the world to produce a selvage-denim fabric made from woven cotton yarns and sugar cane fibers.  Cotton and sugar cane is harvested from Hawaii, hence the style name.  The dyed yarns are then turned into the prized, coarse-weave Japanese selvage denim on slow-moving, vintage shuttle looms from the “good old days” of manufacturing in the USA.

This obsessive attention to detail, historical purity, unsurpassed quality and cutting-edge innovation gives birth to a Hawaii selvage-denim jeans weighing in at a super-coarse-and-beefy 14.25 ounces that dazzles the senses with deep, dark coloring and an intoxicating, delicately sweet scent, thanks to a strong helping of sugar cane in the fabric.  Over time from wear, laundering, and use, this luscious denim yields fade marks, whiskering and striations that could never be achieved with thinner, less coarse denim, be it selvage or otherwise. 

Also features:
Pockets lined with cotton fabric in facsimile of a Japanese sugar cane sack
Leather horsehide hair-on patch on waist as found on some classic vintage dungaree styles, with the branded wording “Aloha Denim” and an image of a sea turtle; detail stitching on rear pockets is sewn by hand using heavy cotton thread made from sugar cane in the stitch style of a very traditional, centuries-old Japanese design.
Unique green-line selvage edge on the denim that distinguishes it from one any of the other Sugar Cane styles.  This is some of the finest denim in the world, where the exotic meets luxury and durability.  This is Sugar Cane.  Or, as the Japanese call it – Satokibi!

Sugar Cane one-wash jeans are rinsed once in cold water to produce a product that is fully shrunken and ready to wear; you don't need to worry about additional shrinkage of any consequence.
