Sugar Cane
Available Colors
This men's casual long-sleeve button-up shirt is made in Japan by Sugar Cane, a workwear-focused brand under Toyo Enterprises renowned for its vintage-inspired craftsmanship. As part of Sugar Cane's "Fiction Romance" collection, this model is a modern interpretation, reconstructed in a classic American vintage work shirt style using a cotton plaid fabric inspired by traditional Japanese indigo-dyed kimono textiles. Expertly crafted with the brand's signature attention to detail, it fuses Japanese and American aesthetics and heritage while blending effortlessly into today's casual style, balancing vintage authenticity with everyday wearability. The fabric of this shirt is a lightweight 5 oz plain-weave rectangular plaid woven from 100% cotton, inspired by traditional Japanese kimono textiles. It features a distinctive pattern created with three shades of indigo-dyed warp yarns, including kasuri-style slub effects, and a single-colored weft. The fabric has a crisp, dry hand with a slightly rough texture and natural irregularities. Despite its light weight, it retains a firm structure, providing both breathability and shape stability, making it suitable for year-round wear, whether layered or worn on its own. As part of the finishing process, the garment has been one-washed to minimize shrinkage. This shirt features long sleeves with set-in construction, a full front button closure with antique-finished metal cat-eye buttons that exhibit a worn, paint-chipped look, a regular collar with a collar band, single-button cuffs with slit openings, and two chest pockets with buttoned flaps, including a stitched buttonhole-style pen slot on the left pocket flap. The chest pockets are pattern-matched to the base fabric for a clean, cohesive appearance. The back panel is finished with a classic curved yoke for added structure and durability. Additional details include a rounded shirttail hem with reinforced side gussets, as well as distinctive double-twisted thread runoffs extending from the side seams and hanging from the hem, a hallmark of vintage workwear craftsmanship. A union tag is sewn on the inside of the placket at the lower left front panel, further emphasizing its authentic workwear construction. This shirt is offered in US/EU sizes and features a regular fit that provides a well-balanced silhouette, neither too slim nor too loose. It is a brand-new original release from Sugar Cane's Fiction Romance collection, combining vintage-inspired reconstruction with the brand's signature craftsmanship.

Fabric: The fabric of this shirt is a lightweight 5 oz plain-weave rectangular plaid woven from 100% cotton, inspired by traditional Japanese kimono textiles. It features a distinctive pattern created with three shades of indigo-dyed warp yarns, including kasuri-style slub effects, and a single-colored weft. The fabric has a crisp, dry hand with a slightly rough texture and natural irregularities. Despite its light weight, it retains a firm structure, providing both breathability and shape stability, making it suitable for year-round wear, whether layered or worn on its own. As part of the finishing process, the garment has been one-washed to minimize shrinkage.
Closure Type (Placket): Front button closure with a traditional full-length placket secured by six antique-finished metal buttons. Each button has a deliberately worn, paint-chipped appearance that recreates the authentic patina of vintage workwear. The placket features vertically aligned buttonholes for secure fastening and a clean, classic look.
Collar Construction: Standard point collar with an integrated collar stand (collar band) that provides structure and a clean, classic appearance.
Hem Construction: The shirt features a curved shirttail hem reinforced with triangular side gussets for extra strength at stress points. True to vintage work shirt construction, the hem is finished with double-twisted chainstitch runoffs that extend from the side seams and hang freely - a distinctive hallmark of heritage workwear craftsmanship.
Pocket Configuration: The shirt features two classic chest patch pockets with buttoned flaps and rounded lower edges. The left pocket flap also includes a stitched buttonhole-style pen slot for convenient storage. Both pockets are carefully pattern-matched to the base fabric, allowing the plaid design to align seamlessly across the chest. This precise alignment creates a clean, cohesive appearance that enhances the shirt's overall balance and highlights the craftsmanship behind its construction.
Yoke Construction: Traditional shoulder yoke built with double layers of fabric to enhance structure and durability in high-stress areas. The back yoke is shaped with a curved profile, faithfully reproducing vintage work shirt detailing while improving comfort and movement.

About Sugar Cane's "Fiction Romance" Collection
Sugar Cane uses the term "Fiction Romance" to define its unique design philosophy. Rather than simply reproducing vintage garments exactly as they once were, the brand blends historical research and authentic archival details (reality) with its own creative interpretation (fiction).
By asking, "What if this kind of workwear had existed back then?" Sugar Cane imagines new narratives and brings them to life through clothing. This sense of emotional storytelling is what the brand calls "romance."
In other words, "Fiction Romance" is not just about faithfully recreating history - it is about crafting garments that tell stories of what could have been: an imagined past made real.
This philosophy defines the entire Fiction Romance collection, where practical functionality and long-lost workwear details are revived through meticulous archival study. By recombining restored techniques and period design elements in unexpected ways, Sugar Cane creates garments that feel both historically grounded and artistically reimagined. Each piece becomes its own narrative, connecting the spirit of the past with the craftsmanship and vision of the present.
