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 1940's - 1950's; every original and distinctive styling feature of this shirt can be traced back to vintage shirts of that era.  The all-cotton, 6.5-ounce Beach Cloth is similar to a cotton covert; both covert and Beach Cloth are renowned for being extremely rugged, durable fabrics that, depending on your activities and laundering types, could easily last decades.  An extra-special element has been added to our bygone fabric:  a dye treatment in natural indigo!

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
• Vintage-style strap collar for crisper neck closure
• Collar stand for crisper appearance
• Chain-stitch runoff at shirttail side gussets
• Blue selvage at side gussets and along frontal closure
• Two flap-less breast pockets with button closures
• Assembly with a wrap-fold, two-needle seams for superior strength
• Reinforced shoulder yoke for greater durability at this crucial abrasion area
• Custom manufacturing of vintage-style, genuine urea buttons in dark blue
• Custom manufacturing of hard-wearing, 6.5-ounce cotton Beach-Cloth fabric dyed with natural indigo
• 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: Small 14-14 1/2 - XL 17-17 ½ .  This style is quite generous in cut and fits larger than most other Sugar Cane shirt styles.  Please see SIZING TIPS for advice on selecting the correct size.

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 vintage 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 oriental rug.  Nothing like this has been offered since the "good old days" of the 1950's, when clothing had to last by necessity.  One look and you will be immediately transported back to an era when the railroads were the backbone of transportation and America was the unquestioned king of goods synonymous with top quality and durability. 

The fabric is at the heart of this style.  Jean cord is really densely woven, with a rugged, distinctly firm hand approaching lightweight canvas, but it also gains softness from each use and washing.  Depending on your level of use and how you launder, this fabric can last decades.  Every original and distinctive styling feature from the yesteryear has been reproduced, including reinforced shoulder yoke, two flap pockets, reinforced pencil slot, reinforced elbows, genuine-urea buttons, triple-stitched seams for superior strength, authentic labeling, all in addition to the heavy-duty fabric.

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.  Tired of only having choices from what the big outfits and department stores have to offer?  Ready for something that will make you the envy of anyone with a keen eye for a look of quality and distinction?  Whether seeking a casual shirt for leisure, a sport shirt to be worn with necktie on casual office days, or truly in need of a work shirt that will outlast ANYTHING you are familiar with; let this vintage design be your silver bullet.  Quantities are limited.

Keoni of Hawaii is an original brand for Sun Surf that was developed in 1996 with the cooperation of the great Hawaiian-shirt master designer of the 1940's, John Meigs.  John was alive and well in 1996, and in conjunction with Sun Surf, his original, never-released designs of the 1940's were brought to life under this then-new relationship.  By 2001, John's advanced age precluded further direct participation, and so other artists from around the world contributed to carry on the original concepts under the Keoni of Hawaii brand, all the while maintaining John's motto:  "Let Hawaiian shirts be the bridge between Hawaii and Japan."  Today, all designs under the brand are unique, one-of-a-kind creations available exclusively from Sun Surf that follow John's 1940's concepts with the same attention to artistic storytelling in true vintage form.

Keoni of Hawaii designs incorporate colors and color shades not found on the Sun Surf standard editions.  Other original features include: one deftly matched invisible pocket, genuine wooden  buttons that precisely match those found on the original shirt, and a label that precisely copies the vintage aesthetics and materials found in the 1940's.  And to enhance the collectibility of this shirt, it comes in its own presentation/storage box.  Once produced, the special edition is retired from production, thus ensuring each is extremely limited in quantity made.

Keoni of Hawaii designs are nearly impossible to obtain outside of Japan, and we are proud beyond words to have been able to obtain a few of this shirt print that stands out as one of the most unique ever offered.  

To help preserve the fabric and colors, dry cleaning is the only laundering method endorsed by the manufacturer.
