Jeans americanclassicslondon | Sugar Cane 2009 (1947 Type II) 12oz Red Selvedge Rigid Denim

These Sugar Cane jeans debuted in 2009 and is often referred to as the Sugar Cane 2009 Jean, though it is officially known as the Sugar Cane Type II 1947 Jean.

Patterned from the original Levi Strauss classic 1947 501XX, they have been given a bit of contemporary revision in cut: the front and back rises are slightly lowered, the legs tapered, and the seat taken in creating more of a neater appearance. 

Made from 12oz rigid denim, and on a contemporary fit, these are one of Sugar Cane’s most popular jean styles since its introduction.

Take note of these authentic features and details found only on a premium selvedge jean of this pedigree:

• Button-fly, five-pocket construction

• Famous, hidden reinforcing rear pocket rivets to prevent scratching of saddles and furniture

• Original-style paper flasher and labels employed on the outer packaging of the original dungarees

• Genuine deerskin leather patch with Sugar Cane logo in a style and colour reminiscent of that found on the original 501’s

• Custom manufactured from the finest, naturally grown, uneven-cotton yarns woven into 12oz rigid selvedge denim produced on the original shuttle looms employed back in the 1930's

• Rope dyed with indigo

• 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 pocket bags

• Exact duplication of original stitch style throughout construction

• Made in Japan
