SUGAR CANE "1947 Model" 14.25oz Regular Straight Jeans

About this product

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…
