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.

Take note of these authentic features and details found only on a work shirt of this pedigree:

• Placket-front closure

• Collar stand for crisper appearance

• Two flap pockets, with the left pocket having a reinforced pencil slot

• Triple-stitched seams for superior strength

• Reinforced shoulder yoke and reinforced elbows for greater durability at these crucial abrasion areas

• Custom manufacturing of correct black, genuine-urea buttons, not cheap plastic

• Custom manufacturing of the correct all-cotton, heavy-weight, jean-cord fabric on the original narrow shuttle looms employed back in the 1930's

• All-cotton off-white thread employed in outer construction, with red all-cotton thread employed in sewing interior seams

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

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

• One-wash finish for greater softness out of the box

Sizes available: Sm. -  XL.  Please note that this style runs small; please see our SIZING TIPS for advice on how to get the correct fit.

One look and you will be immediately transported back to an era when America was the unquestioned king of goods synonymous with top quality and durability.

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.  This shirt is extremely special and will be most appreciated by the hardcore, vintage enthusiast, being crafted from a hard-wearing, unwashed, raw cotton-covert selvage fabric with random flecks of off-white and woven on vintage shuttle looms.

• 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

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.
