The Sugar Cane 1947 Model stands as one of the most respected interpretations of post-war American denim. Inspired by the original 1947 jeans that defined a generation, this model captures the essence of vintage workwear through accurate detailing, period-correct construction, and a timeless silhouette.

At the core of the garment is Sugar Cane’s carefully developed 14.25oz selvedge denim, woven slowly on vintage Toyoda shuttle looms. This deliberate process creates a dense, substantial fabric with a natural irregularity that mirrors original mid-century denim. By blending American and Zimbabwean cotton, Sugar Cane achieves a yarn structure with subtle inconsistencies, resulting in a surface that feels alive and evolves beautifully with wear.

The denim is rope-dyed in indigo, with a white weft that allows for high-contrast fading over time. As the jeans break in, expect rich vertical fades, pronounced whiskering, and a depth of character that reflects the brand’s dedication to authentic reproduction.

The fit follows the original 1947 pattern: a high rise with a regular straight leg, offering generous room through the thigh, knee, and calf. It’s a balanced, versatile silhouette that remains one of the most wearable cuts in denim history—equally suited to boots, sneakers, or more classic footwear.

Construction details stay true to the era, featuring iron buttons, hidden copper rivets, and durable pocketing. The two-tone stitching adds subtle contrast, while the pink selvedge ID and vegetable-tanned deerskin leather patch complete the design with understated heritage touches.

This is not just a reproduction—it’s a benchmark. A pair designed to be worn hard, aged naturally, and appreciated over years of use, embodying what Sugar Cane defines as a true “standard” in denim.

Fit Notes: This model runs small , as is common with many of the brand’s jeans. We recommend sizing up one to achieve a true to size fit. Compared to most global American brands, this typically means taking one or two sizes up from your usual size. The denim is expected to stretch around 1 inch in the waist with regular wear. That said, we don’t recommend sizing down, as starting too tight may cause discomfort and alter the intended fit of the garment. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart to ensure the best possible fit.
