Sugar Cane "1947 Type II" 12oz Slim Straight Jeans

Sugar Cane's 1947 Type II offers a sleek, modern twist on their iconic 1947 model, featuring a slightly slim, straight cut with a low rise and a lighter fabric perfect for warmer months. It maintains the essence and details of vintage jeans from the late 1940s. Faithfully echoing the charm of Levi's 501XX 1947, it retains original features such as iron buttons and hidden copper rivets while introducing a lower rise and slimmer legs with minimal taper from the knee down, creating a contemporary silhouette that complements any outfit.

With meticulous attention to detail, Sugar Cane delves into every aspect of recreating vintage denim fabric, from spinning and weaving to dyeing and stitching. While opting for a slightly lighter weight than the standard 1947 Model, the fabric of this Type II version retains its distinctive character. Crafted on vintage Toyoda shuttle looms, the weaving process is deliberate and time-intensive, resulting in a soft fabric that gains depth with each wear.

The allure of vintage denim lies in its unique fading patterns, replicated through a blend of American and Zimbabwe cotton in the 12oz fabric. By carefully adjusting yarn twisting power, Sugar Cane ensures the fabric closely mirrors the irregularity of Levi's 1947 501XX denim, maintaining authenticity and timeless appeal.

Fit Notes: As many other Sugar Cane Jeans, the 1947 Type III runs slightly small. In general, we recommend choosing one size larger than your usual. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.
