This is from Sugar Cane's elite 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.  This shirt is guaranteed to amaze you with how great it ages the more it is worn!

This shirt design is based on an iconic style from the 1930's & 1940's.  The fabric is 8.5-ounce all-cotton twill produced on vintage shuttle looms in a classic Wabash print and dyed with natural indigo.  Some authentic styling details and features include:  two-button strap collar, reinforced shoulder yoke, selvage edges on both sides of the interior frontal closure, chain-stitch runoff at the shirttail side plaits, asymmetric pockets, heavy-duty metal donut buttons lacquered in glossy black paint, and even authentic labeling and packaging.

This is rugged and stylish American history at its best that is designed to fit precisely in true vintage form and not hang off the shoulders like some department store nightmare full of slop and excessive sleeve length – the sort of shirts seemingly designed for apes who have been fed a diet consisting exclusively of fast food cooked in buckets of lard.  Shun the disposable cookie-cutter look of the mass marketers and grab a bite of old-time machismo!  Quantities are very limited.

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

• Placket-front closure

• Asymmetric pockets with the right pocket having a button flap

• Collar stand for crisper appearance

• Two-button strap collar

• Bar tacking on pockets for extra strength at crucial stress points

• Custom-made metal donut buttons lacquered in glossy black paint

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

• Custom manufacturing of hard-wearing 8.5-ounce all-cotton twill produced on vintage shuttle looms in a classic Wabash print dyed with natural indigo in deep blue

• Selvage edge on plaits at shirttail side seams with chain-stitch runoff

• Selvage edge on both sides of interior frontal closure

• Assembly with all-cotton thread

• Exact copy of the original-style printed-on-cotton labels in neck area and union label on shirttail

• Authentic paper label stapled to neck area (which should be removed before wearing)

• True vintage fit for flattering appearance, not the sloppy, relaxed fit with droopy shoulder seams so often encountered today

Sizes available:  Med. -  XL.  Please see SIZING TIPS to determine the correct fit in this shirt.

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:

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

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.

Quantities are very limited.  

Take note of these authentic features and details found only on a premium vintage-style 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

Please note: The fabric is made of unwashed, lightly Sanforized fabric and will still shrink a bit after washing  depending on how you launder this garment. After normal washing in cool water and line drying, expected shrinkage should be about 2% overall; drying in an electric dryer with heat could increase shrinkage and is not endorsed by the manufacturer.
