Sugar Cane is a Japanese brand focusing on reconstructing the early days of vintage workwear history. The brand has roots that goes back to the 1950's but it wasn't until the late 80's that Sugar Cane started building the reputation for being one of the best denim makers in Japan. It is a reputation they still deserve!

This jacket is a reproduction of the early so-called "chore jacket". The model was commonly used as workwear in the early 20th century. Unlike the later models, this one is made with fewer details and it has been scaled down to only the essentials. The square shapes of the pockets and its wide and short fit are also synonymous with American work jackets from the 20's.

Chore jacket as a garment has survived up until today due to its functional design, a great jacket with plenty of pockets! 

Sugar Canes version comes in a 9 oz white denim fabric. The ecru denim is unbleached and one can still se traces of the cotton seeds in the fabric. A detail that makes the fabric look more alive and since they are not chalky white, they will not look dirty as quickly. Another advantage of not bleaching is that the material will last longer because the bleaching breaks down the cotton fiber and it's harmfull for the environment as well. The coat has a roomy fit and is very suitable for casual wear. It comes with three square shaped front pockets and removable thug of war metal buttons. Inspired from a time when stainless steel was not yet used in the textile industry another plus is that it was easy to replace a broken button. But you can feel safe because these buttons will not start to rust.
