Sugar Cane & Co. is one of the first Japanese brands to specialize in American-style workwear, with a deep focus on authenticity and craftsmanship. Known for producing high quality denim, Sugar Cane crafts Japanese selvedge jeans using raw denim woven on restored vintage power looms—faithfully recreating fabrics from the early 1900s.

Over two decades of research went into perfecting the yarn, dye, weave, and construction. The brand prefers the term “dungarees” over “jeans,” distinguishing its garments from mass-produced fashion. Each piece reflects a commitment to authentic Japanese denim, rooted in tradition and meticulous attention to detail.

What makes Sugar Cane truly unique is its innovative use of sugar cane fibers blended with cotton and natural indigo. Signature models include the Sugar Cane Awa, dyed with Awa indigo; the Okinawa, made from regional sugar cane and indigo; and the Hawaii, which uses Hawaiian-grown sugar cane.

By combining heritage techniques with regional materials, Sugar Cane & Co. delivers truly original Japanese selvedge jeans that honor the legacy of raw denim and traditional craftsmanship—designed to age beautifully with wear.
