Authentic American workwear
This is a short-sleeved work shirt from Sugar Cane, which offers a wide range of workwear, including shirts and jackets, mainly made from denim material.
Sugar Cane originally developed clothing for U.S. military bases, so although it was born in Japan, it is a brand that has gained support for its commitment to craftsmanship, with its spirit of craftsmanship and know-how all trained in America.
This shirt is a vintage-style work shirt with an ombre check pattern that features a gradation that gives a sense of depth.
It is thin and comfortable to wear, and can easily add color to summer outfits that tend to be simple, making it an indispensable item for summer American casual style.
The fabric is 100% cotton, the classic work shirt material, and has a firm texture, but it is lightweight at 3.2 ounces, making it cool to wear, and it also has a refreshing feel when it flutters in the wind.
Ombre checks were often seen on open-collar shirts around the 1950s, and were later supported by bikers and rockers, making it a popular check pattern even today. The design is characterized by its depth, with the check pattern gradually changing in shade, without a clear boundary.
The back of the collar has a Sugar Cane original design name, and the buttons are the standard four-hole buttons used on various shirts.
The recess in the center prevents the thread from rubbing, and the thread is threaded many times, making it durable and a detail that is characteristic of workwear.
The buttons are made of urea resin that is colored at the raw material stage, which is excellent in heat resistance and hardness, and unlike buttons that are painted later, scratches are less noticeable.
The collar is neither too big nor too small, making it easy to incorporate into your outfit.
The front is buttoned, so you can enjoy changing your style by changing the number of buttons you fasten or wearing it fully open.
Work shirts come in a variety of pocket shapes, but this one has straight corners and is made with the same type of pockets on both sides.
The fabric is cut diagonally on the bias, subtly accenting the design and giving it a tasteful finish.
Gussets have been attached to both hems to prevent the front and back of the body from tearing.
Another typical detail of vintage work shirts is the "empty loop stop", where the seam is sewn from one direction and the thread is left entangled to secure the seam.
With double-needle chain stitching to increase strength and a back yoke design on the shoulders, which are subject to stress, this shirt is durable and can be used for a long time.
