Sugar Cane Co. has been producing some of the world's finest selvedge denim from their mills in Japan since 1975. The 1947 Model is their flagship — a faithful reproduction of post-war American workwear denim, woven on vintage shuttle looms using a proprietary blend of natural cane sugar fibers that give the fabric its distinctive texture and fade character. At 14.25oz, this is a heavyweight jean built to last decades, not seasons. The longer you wear it, the more it becomes yours.
Why we carry it: This is the denim that started our obsession with Japanese craftsmanship. It represents everything 5TH OF APRL stands for — American heritage, Japanese precision, and objects built to be worn, not collected.
