Sugar Cane Fiction & Romance 10-Ounce Covert Stripe Shirt

Sugar Cane Fiction & Romance 10-Ounce Covert Stripe Shirt

If you purchase only one Sugar Cane shirt, this is the one to buy!!!

This is a limited-edition Sugar Cane work shirt from their Fiction & Romance Collection.  Garments offered in Fiction & Romance Collection meld vintage work clothing and fashion to levels of obsessive sickness that are insane even for Sugar Cane.  Fabrics in this new collection are elevated to even higher reaches of quality and detail in the passionate pursuit to craft a finished product that will yield evidence of wear and fading indistinguishable from vintage garments, thus providing the wearer with unprecedented opportunity to sculpt their own personalized vintage look in a garment whose very design is as equally distinctive as the wearer.  Garment designs will also sometimes transcend hardcore vintage looks by blending salient vintage features and detailing with creative interpretation, hence the collection’s name – Fiction & Romance.

This shirt motif is inspired by work shirts of the 1930's – ‘40's; every original and distinctive styling feature of this shirt can be traced back to vintage shirts of this era.  The all-cotton, 10-ounce covert fabric is absolutely insane, offering a level of weight, thickness, and longevity that makes this one of the top shirts we have ever handled from Sugar Cane - a shirt that, depending on your activities and laundering methods, could easily last decades and would function well as a shirt jacket.  Other features of quality and distinction include a crisp, tailored fit with slender, tapered arms, high-cut armholes, reinforced shoulder yoke, bar-tacked pocket corners, collar stand, two-button strap collar, metal cat’s eye buttons finished in vintage lacquer paint with just a touch of patina of wear, and even authentic labeling.  This is where timeless style meets American history.  Shun the disposable cookie-cutter look of the mass marketers and grab a bite of old-time machismo!

Please take note of these unique features and details found only on a premium shirt of this pedigree:

• Placket-front closure

• Collar stand for crisper appearance

• Chain-stitch runoff with gusset at shirttail scallop edge

• Two open-top breast pockets

• Assembled with a wrap-fold, two-needle seam for superior strength

• Reinforced shoulder yoke for greater durability at this crucial abrasion area

• Custom manufacturing of metal cat’s eye buttons

• Custom manufacturing of hard-wearing, beefy, 10-ounce cotton covert fabric typically used for work jackets and woven in a classic navy blue stripe

• All-cotton thread employed in construction using flat-lock sewing machines

• Industrial-style cotton label in neck area and union label on shirttail

• True vintage fit for flattering appearance with slender, tapered arms, not a sloppy, relaxed fit with droopy shoulder seams

• Rinsed at the factory, so no shrinkage will be encountered

 

Sizes available: Med. 15-15 ½ - XL 17-17 ½ .  Please see SIZING TIPS for advice on selecting the correct size.

Sugar Cane Hawaii Satokibi Pre-Shrunk, One-Wash Selvage-Denim Jeans

Sugar Cane Hawaii Satokibi Pre-Shrunk, One-Wash Selvage-Denim Jeans

Sugar Cane Hawaii selvage-denim jeans comprise a blend of traditional techniques and styling with innovation and creativity in textile development.  It starts with a basic vintage selvage jean style, in this case the famous Levi XX 501 button-fly, five-pocket selvage-denim jeans of 1947.  These are the original vintage style, which is with a higher waist, looser seat and a straight, wider, non-tapering leg design commonly called the “stovepipe.”  This traditional vintage design style is then married with the result of 25 years of research and experimentation into making the hardest-wearing, most exotic and innovative vintage-style selvage dungarees ever attempted, incorporating knocked–out distinctiveness in detailing and style.

The textile specialists at Sugar Cane were the first in the world to produce a selvage-denim fabric made from woven cotton yarns and sugar cane fibers.  Cotton and sugar cane is harvested from Hawaii, hence the style name.  The dyed yarns are then turned into the prized, coarse-weave Japanese selvage denim on slow-moving, vintage shuttle looms from the “good old days” of manufacturing in the USA.

This obsessive attention to detail, historical purity, unsurpassed quality and cutting-edge innovation gives birth to a Hawaii selvage-denim jeans weighing in at a super-coarse-and-beefy 14.25 ounces that dazzles the senses with deep, dark coloring and an intoxicating, delicately sweet scent, thanks to a strong helping of sugar cane in the fabric.  Over time from wear, laundering, and use, this luscious denim yields fade marks, whiskering and striations that could never be achieved with thinner, less coarse denim, be it selvage or otherwise. 

Other features of this Premium Selvage Denim include:  Pockets lined with cotton fabric in facsimile of a Japanese sugar cane sack; leather horsehide hair-on patch on waist as found on some classic vintage dungaree styles, with the branded wording “Aloha Denim” and an image of a sea turtle; detail stitching on rear pockets is sewn by hand using heavy cotton thread made from sugar cane in the stitch style of a very traditional, centuries-old Japanese design, and this style has its own unique green-line selvage edge on the denim that distinguishes it from one any of the other Sugar Cane styles.  This is some of the finest denim in the world, where the exotic meets luxury and durability.  This is Sugar Cane.  Or, as the Japanese call it – Satokibi!

Sugar Cane one-wash jeans are rinsed once in cold water to produce a product that is fully shrunken and ready to wear; you don't need to worry about additional shrinkage of any consequence.

We will also be glad to measure the waist of jeans we have in stock to be sure what we send you has the measurement you require, so please ask before ordering.

Fit/sizing:   Waist sizes available 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36 & 38.  Sizes up to and including 29 will have an approximate 32” inseam, and waist sizes 30-38 will have an approximate 34" inseam.  All sizes marked on label reflect approximate after-wash, post-shrinkage measurements; this means that a pair of one-wash jeans size 34 x 34 will have an approximate 34"-35"” waist measure and a approximate 33" inseam measure.  Measures are always listed in approximate terms due to the erratic nature of selvage denim.  Waist measures are the most erratic and can be 2" larger than the size on the label, so if you require a specific measurement for the waist and/or inseam, please contact us and we will let you know what we have available.  Waist measures will also stretch out permanently by about 1"-1.5" after being worn approximately 20-25 times.

Please see our SIZING TIPS for advice on how to get the correct fit.

Sugar Cane Hound’s Tooth Flannel-Twill Shirt, Off-White

Last FEW Left!

Sugar Cane vintage-style work shirts are for those who can appreciate the myriad of nuances and character found in the finest single-malt scotch, the clearest, most-colorless diamond or hand-crafted, centuries-old Persian rug.  Original and distinctive styling features of the 1930’s – 1950’s have been incorporated throughout each shirt design, including in this style the high-density, heavy-weight flannel twill dyed in a bygone process so it will wear and fade exactly as those cherished vintage shirts once did, making this a favorite in your wardrobe.  Sugar Cane typically offers three different flannel twills in their heavy-weight shirts and this flannel twill is of a medium softness compared to Sugar Cane’s soft twill or hard twill.

This is rugged and stylish American history at its best, and it is also going to look fabulous when worn because it is cut to flatter the body, unlike the ultra-loose styles so often encountered everywhere today.  Quantities are very limited.  Classic Hound's Tooth has never been better in rugged shirt!  Take note of these vintage features and details found only on a work shirt of this pedigree:

 

•   Placket-front closure

•   Open-top pockets with bar tacked corners for extra strength

•   Collar stand for crisper appearance

•   Double-stitching and rolled seams

•   Reinforced shoulder yoke for greater durability at this crucial abrasion area

•   Custom manufacturing of genuine urea buttons

•   Custom manufacturing of a high-density, heavy-weight, all cotton flannel twill that will fade as did vintage examples and continue to get softer and cozier from each wearing

•   All-cotton thread employed in sewing

•   Exact copy of the vintage-style rayon-on-cotton labels

•   True vintage fit for flattering appearance, not sloppy, relaxed fit with droopy shoulder seams

 

Sizes available:  Med. -  XL.  This shirt is pre-washed, so additional shrinkage is either negligible or zero.  Please see our SIZING TIPS for advice on how to get the correct fit.

Sugar Cane Lone Wolf Carpenter Boots, Brown Leather

Sugar Cane Lone Wolf Carpenter Boots, Brown Leather

SOLD OUT!!!

Lone Wolf boots are directly patterned after long-lost classic styles from the “Good Old Days” in American work wear; that is an era, generally speaking, that hit its zenith in the 1950s and saw its demise by the early 1970s.  The Lone Wolf mark is your guarantee you are buying real work boots meant to withstand the rigors of the most-demanding tasks, but they also just so happen to look as beautifully as they function because they are hand crafted from superior-quality leathers and other components with the utmost of pride by a tiny, family-run shoe business.  This shoe company is a true anachronism, taking you back to a time when shoes were made by a cobbler with hammer in hand, a shoe last deftly cradled between his legs and a brace of steel nails poking out from between his lips.  And when we say it’s a family-run business, we mean the shoes are actually hand made by several generations of one family that includes men and women and their offspring who have chosen to be old-world shoe artisans, producing superior-quality rugged footwear one pair at a time.  Demand is so great for the Lone Wolf boots in Japan v s. the available supply, orders are typically completed 6-10 months from the time they were booked by the stores that sell the boots, and some styles have been known to be sold out for a year or more – NEVER hesitate or delay in making a purchase of Lone Wolf boots!

Lone Wolf Carpenter Boots are based on a vintage style dating back to the 1930s that was once produced by legendary footwear manufacturers in the USA that have long since vanished.  The uppers are manufactured from a beefy, full-grain imported steer hide leather that is vegetable tanned for no less than 12 weeks, then beautifully aniline-dyed in classic dark brown, after which the leather is sewn and hand lasted over a period of days to ensure maximum stretch and flexibility to the finished shoe, and finally the lasted uppers are sewn by hand using the famous Goodyear storm welt - NEVER are soles vulcanized to the uppers or sewn in some cheap manner to duplicate the appearance of a true Goodyear welt at a sacrifice to comfort, quality and durability.  The Carpenter also features a high-quality leather outer sole that, in turn, is stitched and nailed to New-Old-Stock GENUINE vintage “Cat’s Paw” rubber soles, with GENUINE Vintage “Cat’s Paw” heels glued and nailed in place.  Cat’s Paw soles were regarded as the best rubber soles back in the day and Lone Wolf is the only brand today still utilizing a vintage surplus of these soles for footwear production. 

Vintage details of style and superior quality include the following:  

• Lone Wolf label produced on a vintage shuttle loom

• Lace-to-toe hooks and eyelets

• Removable kiltie

• Triple-stitched vamp for durability

• Two colors of contrasting thread employed for assembly of uppers

• Aniline-dyed cowhide uppers that will wear and age fabulously, yielding an incredible vintage patina

• Custom-made shoe laces to precisely match the heavy, corded type originally employed on this style of shoe

• Nickel-plated metal lace-up eyelets and speed hooks

• Firm, protective toe box

• Gusseted-leather tongue

• Full-leather counter pockets

• Hand-lasted uppers

• Hand-sewn genuine Goodyear welt with heavy-duty corded thread

• Heavy, non-corrosive steel shank for extra heavy-duty support

• Genuine New-Old-Stock vintage Cat’s Paw rubber soles and heels attached to high-quality leather outer soles

•Vegetable-tanned, aniline-dyed, full-grain steer hide uppers

• Leather insoles for better breathing of feet and moisture absorption

The Engineer also features a high-quality leather outer sole that, in turn, is stitched and nailed to New-Old-Stock GENUINE vintage “Cat’s Paw” rubber sole taps, with GENUINE Vintage “Cat’s Paw” heels glued and nailed in place.  Cat’s Paw soles were regarded as the best rubber soles back in the day and Lone Wolf is among a tiny few brands today still utilizing a vintage surplus of these soles for footwear production.  Lastly, as found on the best vintage classics, Lone Wolf Engineer boots feature heels made of stacked leather in a beveled cut.  Vintage details of style and superior quality also include the following:

This obsessive attention to detail, historical purity, unsurpassed quality and cutting-edge innovation gives birth to a Okinawa selvage-denim jeans weighing in at a super-coarse-and-beefy 14.25 ounces that dazzles the senses with deep, dark coloring and an intoxicating, delicately sweet scent, thanks to a strong helping of sugar cane in the fabric.  Over time from wear, laundering, and use, this luscious denim yields fade marks, whiskering and striations that could never be achieved with thinner, less coarse denim, be it selvage or otherwise.
