SUGAR CANEDespite its unmistakably American name, meaning “sugar cane,” SUGAR CANE was Japan’s first postwar clothing manufacturer established to produce garments for the U.S. market. Founded in 1965 to manufacture clothing for the U.S. military, the company initially supplied garments to personnel associated with American military bases. Following the end of the Vietnam War, it shifted its focus to the domestic market while continuing to uphold the authentic quality of American-style workwear, with a particular emphasis on denim.

Said to be inspired by the flow of Indiana's Wabash River, it is characterized by the way its dotted pattern remains visible as the indigo gradually fades. Unlike stripes created by weaving contrasting yarns into the fabric, the pattern is formed through tonal variation. This results in a smoother surface and gives the fabric a more unified appearance with the indigo.The reverse side features printed brand logos throughout, adding an authentic detail that is revealed when the hems are rolled up.
