SugarCane Jeans are uniquely Japanese denim made from — you guessed it- sugar cane. For many years, SugarCane Jeans were a ferociously guarded Japanese secret but today the brand is attracting global attention. Interestingly, SugarCane prefer to use the vintage term ‘dungarees’ in preference to the term ‘jeans’ to describe their product: “The word ‘jeans’ has become the vernacular for faux denim fashion wear that masquerades as the tough, classic waist overalls history made famous.”

ORIGINAL SUGARCANE DENIM FABRIC

SugarCane Jeans are constructed of fibres derived from the plant that gave rise to the brand name SUGARCANE. Sugar is made from sugar cane, which seems simple enough, but not everyone knows that sugar cane and its byproducts contain essential amino acids and enzymes necessary to fuel and rejuvenate our bodies. Likewise, byproducts from sugar cane are used to fuel automobiles in Brazil in order to have a less harmful impact on the environment rather than found in burned fuels of a purely fossil origin. Following these facts in a rather philosophical approach, the textile specialists at SugarCane were the first in the world to produce a selvage denim fabric made from woven cotton yarns and sugar cane fibres.
