Sugar Cane & Co. 460 (1947) Model 14,25oz One Wash Black Denim

The 1947 fit made by Sugar Cane is perhaps one of the most accurate reproductions of a pair of Levi's 501's as they looked in the middle of the 20th century. Like many other brands, Sugar Cane started making their reproductions back in the late 1980's. A time when the vintage original jeans were becoming hard to find and the newly produced jeans of the time was nowhere near the quality of jeans in the 1950's. Today we are happy that these makers kept making jeans in traditional style and top quality denim. If you are looking for a pair of jeans that never will be out of style, the 1947 Sugar Cane is the perfect choice!

This version is made in a one wash 14,25oz black denim fabric. Unlike many of the other black jeans we carry, this fabric has a white weft giving it a deep grey shade rather than the deep black color many other jeans can have. However, these will fade in the same way as your indigo jeans will, getting a lighter shade and a most beautiful patina with time, wear and wash. 

When it comes to the size these jeans are quite small in the waist so we would recommend you to size up one size from your regular size for a comfortable fit. If they feel snug in the waist when you try them on you can also expect them to extend a couple of centimeters when worn. The slim waist makes this a fit that actually works well on women too! 

Johan is 173 cm tall, weighs 67 kilos and wears a W30.

Hemming is always included when you purchase a pair of jeans from us! Give us a comment during check out and we will shorten them before we send them. Keep in mind that you won't be able to return the jeans if we alter the length for you. For hemming, we'll use a vintage Union Special chain stitch sewing machine, to match the original seam of the jeans.
