Introducing the Sugar Cane Super "Denim" Collectibles - a meticulous homage to the iconic denim manufactured during WWII.

Crafted under the meticulous eye of denim specialist Yuichi Fukutomi and his team, the Super "Denim" Collectibles capsule stands as a testament to the pursuit of denim perfection. Collaborating with vintage denim aficionado Shigeteru Wakitani, this collection breathes life into the revered "war models" of yesteryears, meticulously replicating their essence and character.

At the heart of this collection lies an unparalleled dedication to authenticity. Drawing inspiration from rare deadstock and coveted golden-sized vintage pieces, each garment embodies the soul of its predecessor. From the rugged, heavily textured denim fabric to the utilitarian donut buttons and iron rivets, every detail pays homage to the harsh realities of wartime production in 1943.

The design ethos of the era is faithfully reproduced, with subtle simplifications reflecting the scarcity of skilled labor and resources. Witness the reduction of front buttons from five to four, and the omission of chest pocket flaps, echoing the practicality born of necessity. Imperfections once deemed flaws are celebrated as signatures of authenticity - from the uneven box stitching to the irregular width of the yellow thread. During that time, the vast majority of seamstresses had to start sewing military uniforms, so sewing factories had to hire seamstresses with little experience, and that was reflected in both the jackets and jeans of the time. Fukutomi-san's obsession with achieving an absolutely perfect replica has led him to reproduce even those common sewing errors that occurred in the jackets produced in 1943.

Each piece in the collection is a testament to the artistry of the past, meticulously recreated for the modern denim connoisseur. Whether it's the aged hues of indigo or the weathered patina of vintage hardware, every element tells a story of resilience and craftsmanship.

Despite being a Japanese jacket, we find the sizing of this Type I to be more Western than Japanese. If you usually wear a size M in American jackets, you'll find a suitable fit with this jacket in size 40 (M). However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.

Although Sugar Cane was born in Japan, its spirit and creation are true to proper American manner from the experience learned at the Army base. By mainly utilizing the denim materials, the ultimate American style symbol, the label has been manufacturing true workwear since 1975. Sugar Cane comprise a blend of traditional dyeing techniques and styling with innovation and creativity in textile development. Their jeans represent the higher end of Japanese selvedge denim.
