Sugar Cane WWII Model SUGAR CANE “1942” 34

SUGAR CANE Super “Denim” Collectibles

Model…SC49005
Size…34

At first glance, it looks like a 1937 model, but this is a very rare early 1942 model with the "Copyright 1942" notation at the bottom of the flasher. It was only produced for a short period from April to August 1942, and the back strap and crotch rivets were not yet omitted. While the 1937 model used the heads of regular copper rivets crushed for the concealed rivet part, this model uses special iron rivets. Along with this change, the "CONCEALED COPPER RIVETS" on the flasher was changed to "CONCEALED POCKET RIVETS". The denim fabric with a thickness and unevenness clearly different from the 1937 model, and the specially made iron buckle with black plating that can only be seen on this model. The tack on the back of the button uses a copper-plated type.

SUGAR CANE Super “Denim” Collectibles, a new label launched by Yuichi Fukutomi of Sugar Cane, bringing together denim specialists. Commonly known as "SCSC". For this second installment, they have once again welcomed Shigeteki Wakitani, one of the world's leading vintage denim collectors, and completely reproduce the "individuality" of those precious pieces based on deadstock & golden size super vintage items that are now impossible to obtain. Following the 1st collection, the 2nd collection also unveils three super vintage "war model" items that are attracting the most attention in the vintage market. Based on deadstock that has not even been washed and extremely rare vintage in mint condition with almost no fading despite signs of wear, they meticulously analyze the color of indigo oxidized with the starch remaining, the properties of the cotton used for the warp and weft, and the shape of the threads, resulting in a finish that is indistinguishable from vintage. The parts are made with the aim of achieving the aged look of deadstock. This project also uses two-needle iron buckles, which have been avoided for safety reasons. Regarding sewing, of course, the thread count and machine pitch are considered, but they have also revived the distorted stitchwork seen in the wartime period, where the width was not uniform.
