Sugar Cane Men's 1936 Type I Denim Jacket - 13.5 oz Selvedge Denim Vintage Workwear Reproduction - Made in Japan (SC11936 421A One-Wash)

Sugar Cane

This men's casual denim jacket is made in Japan by Sugar Cane, a workwear-focused brand under Toyo Enterprises renowned for its vintage-inspired craftsmanship. This model is a modern reproduction of a pre World War II 1936 Type I denim jacket, originally referred to as a "denim blouse." Expertly crafted with the brand's signature attention to detail, it faithfully captures the authentic features and rugged character of classic American workwear while blending seamlessly into today's casual style and bridging heritage aesthetics with everyday wearability. The fabric of this jacket is a 100 % cotton, non-stretch, slightly lighter-weight 13.5 ounce indigo selvedge denim. It is woven using low-twist, irregularly spun indigo-dyed warp yarns and low-twist, irregularly spun undyed weft yarns, resulting in a rugged, textured surface with visible yarn variation. Despite its toughness, the denim also offers a natural suppleness that makes it comfortable for everyday wear. Selvedge detailing runs along the inside edges of both front plackets, adding a subtle reference to traditional shuttle-loom construction. As part of the finishing process, the garment is pre-washed (also known as one-wash) to minimize shrinkage and provide a comfortable feel from the start. The jacket is further distinguished by its signature orange contrast stitching along the main seams, faithfully replicating the construction methods and distinctive visual identity of the era. Additional details include an antique-finished, Sugar Cane?branded metal five-button front closure, stitched-down double pleats along the front placket, a single chest flap pocket with a button closure, a shoulder yoke panel, rear side pleats beneath the back yoke, a rivet-attached cinch back near the hem, and single-button cuffs with rivet-reinforced sleeve plackets. This item is offered in Japanese (Asian) sizing, which generally runs slightly smaller than standard U.S. and European sizes. As a reference point, a tagged size Japan 38 typically corresponds to a U.S./EU size S-M (approximately 36-38 in garment sizing). The jacket features a modern regular fit that is neither too slim nor too loose, combined with a shorter, cropped length. The traditionally wide chest of the original Type I has been carefully updated with a more contemporary silhouette, making this jacket easier to style with modern casual outfits while still preserving its vintage character. This is a brand-new original release from Sugar Cane, blending vintage aesthetics with the brand's renowned attention to historical detail and craftsmanship.

Fabric Type: The fabric of this jacket is a 100 percent cotton, non-stretch, slightly lighter-weight 13.5 ounce indigo selvedge denim. It is woven using low-twist, irregularly spun indigo-dyed warp yarns and low-twist, irregularly spun undyed weft yarns, resulting in a rugged, textured surface with visible yarn variation. Despite its toughness, the denim also offers a natural suppleness that makes it comfortable for everyday wear. Selvedge detailing runs along the inside edges of both front plackets, adding a subtle reference to traditional shuttle-loom construction. As part of the finishing process, the garment is pre-washed (also known as one-wash) to minimize shrinkage and provide a comfortable feel from the start. It develops a beautiful patina over time as it is worn and washed.

Lining/Insulation: None (unlined, unfilled); single-layer denim suitable for spring/fall, lightweight layering.

Front Closure: 5-button placket with Sugar Cane-branded, antique-finish metal buttons.

Stitching: Orange contrast stitching (main seams), replicating original period construction.

Collar: Shirt-style turn-down point collar.

Chest Pocket: Single left-chest patch pocket with flap and button closure.

Front Pleats: Double pleats are positioned symmetrically along both sides of the front button placket. Each pleat is securely stitched down from the base of the front yoke to the lower torso, ensuring structural integrity and faithfully replicating the original design. These pleats are engineered to expand slightly with wear, allowing for greater freedom of movement and naturally conforming to the wearer's body for enhanced comfort and flexibility during motion.

Back Construction: Features a straight yoke panel at the upper back, precisely integrated as a structural transition across the shoulders. Below the yoke, the main back body is constructed from a single, uninterrupted panel for durability and period-correct minimalism. Lateral pleated vents (side pleats) beneath the yoke further enhance range of motion in the shoulders. Pronged cinch-back (clincher) with metal buckle positioned at the lower hem allows for custom waist adjustment and optimal fit retention. Please note that the cinch-back buckle and rivets may scratch car seats, sofas, or other furniture surfaces.

Sleeves: Set-in sleeve construction for a tailored shoulder line. Full-length sleeves terminated with single-button cuffs. Cuff slits (plackets) are reinforced with rivets to prevent tearing and ensure extended service life.

Leather Patch: Genuine leather patch sewn to the interior neck for brand authentication and traditional finishing.

Handling Indigo-Dyed Products

･This product is dyed using indigo, which is prone to color fading. Please be aware that color transfer may occur to other clothing or items during wear or washing. We kindly ask for your understanding of this product's characteristics and recommend careful handling.

･ Be cautious of color transfer from friction
During wear, color may transfer to other garments, bags, chairs, or surfaces due to friction. Please take extra care when combining with light-colored or white items.

･ Washing instructions
The dye may transfer to other items during washing, so we recommend washing separately. To prevent color fading, especially in areas prone to rubbing, turn the garment inside out before washing. Avoid scrubbing and let it air dry naturally. Repeated washing will gradually stabilize the color fading.

･ Be mindful of water and sweat
Exposure to moisture from sweat or rain can cause color transfer. If the fabric becomes damp, color fading and transfer are more likely to occur.

･ Avoid yellowing from sunlight
When drying in a sunny spot, it's recommended to turn the garment inside out to minimize the risk of discoloration from light.

Please handle with care and enjoy the unique charm of indigo-dyed products.
