Sugar Cane is a Japanese brand focusing on reconstructing the early days of vintage workwear history. The brand has roots that goes back to the 1950's but it wasn't until the late 80's that Sugar Cane started building the reputation for being one of the best denim makers in Japan. It's a reputation they still deserve!

Here's Sugar Cane's white version of one of the most iconic denim jackets ever made! The type 2 jacket was first made by Levi's in the 50's and its simple design has proven to stand the test of time. The type two jacket was introduced in 1953 as an updated version of the traditional denim work jackets. Like them, it featured a pleated front and a square-shaped fit, but the "chinch" or "buckle back" that could be used to adjust the width of the jacket was replaced by adjusters located on each side of the hem. A second front pocket was also added and the jacket, making it easy to distinguish from its predecessor. One pocket = type one jacket, and two pockets = Type two jacket! 

Combined with a pair of five pocket jeans and a plain white t-shirt the type two made up the iconic outfit for a new growing movement, the rebellious youth of the time. If you ever saw Elvis Presley wearing denim this is the jacket he was wearing!

The fit stays true to the original 1950's cut, boxy and short. Just how we like it! The fabric used is a 13 OZ Japanese selvedge white denim that has been pre-washed so that the jacket will be soft to wear from the start and it won't shrink when washed for the first time.

Dan is 185 cm tall, weighs 82 kilos and wears a size 40.
