Sugar Cane 1947 Selvage-Denim Jeans, Pre-Shrunk, One-Wash
Manufactured from the finest double ring-spun Zimbabwe cotton, these are the premium, authentic, heavy-weight jeans worn by real cowboys and laborers in the first half of the 20th century. America seemingly lost the desire to manufacture jeans true to their original ancestry somewhere in the middle to late 1960's. Both the original fit and denim type of such classics as Levi’s 501 XX dungarees continue to be further diluted to this day, whereby only the style name remains unchanged.
Sugar Cane has masterfully recaptured the true color, look, fit, feel, quality and durability of the famous 501 XX dungarees of 1947. The 501 XXs of 1947 were basically just like the pre-war 501 XXs, as the critical materials and styling details banned by the War Production Board in 1942 were lifted for clothing manufacture in 1946. The dungarees of the “good old days” are slightly higher-wasted, fit looser in the seat and had a straight-leg design commonly called the “stovepipe.” Denim was really tough back then and, when new, rather rigid. The shuttle looms that fabricated the selvage denim were more narrow than projectile looms in use today to manufacture mainstream denim, producing a totally different weave and texture within the fabric, as well as a selvage edge absent from jeans made on high-speed projectile looms. It is partly this older selvage denim that gives the vintage jeans their interesting and totally unique character-rich look once they are worn and faded from use. Virtually every styling detail and nuance of 501 XXs has been duplicated, including the famous hidden pocket rivets; however, for obvious reasons, the “Levi” name on buttons and labels cannot be duplicated, nor can the arcuate pocket stitching, which is a Levi brand protected trademark. Sugar Cane jeans are like a resumption of the production of a long-lost classic rather than a reproduction or copy. Take note of these authentic features and details found only on a premium selvage jean of this pedigree:
- Button-fly, five-pocket construction
- Famous, hidden reinforcing rear pocket rivets to prevent scratching of saddles and furniture, which were deleted on newer 501 production
- Original-style paper flasher and labels employed on the outer packaging of the original jeans
- Genuine leather patch with Sugar Cane logo in a style and color reminiscent of that found on the original 501 XXs
- Custom manufactured from the finest double ring-spun Zimbabwe cotton of the correct, heavy 14.25-ounce selvage denim produced on the original shuttle looms employed back in the 1930s, including a color matching to the shade of blue employed in the manufacture of the original 501 XX jeans and pink selvage edge
- Custom manufacturing of copper rivets and buttons to precisely match design style, size and dimension of the vintage pieces
- Custom manufacturing of the heavy, all-cotton twill to fabricate pockets, not the thin weaves found on jeans made today
- Exact duplication of original stitch style throughout construction
- Color and grade matching of the all-cotton thread employed in original manufacture
- Exact duplication of 501 XX rear pocket shape and attachment stitching
- Riveted watch pocket, which had its rivets removed during the war years to meet War Production Board restrictions
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 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.
