Inspired by early Showa-era Japanese fabric, this 6.9-ounce Kofu, or Japanese antique fabric, is dyed with indigo, replacing traditional materials. It features two colors: natural and green, with intricate variations of uneven dyeing applied to both warp and weft yarns, meticulously woven on a power loom. The design is based on classic 1950s American-made three-needle chainstitch work shirts, featuring buttons made from brown lip shell.

Drawing inspiration from vintage workwear, Sugar Cane's "Fiction Romance" collection revives functional details from historical documents. These authentic elements are thoughtfully incorporated into their items, ensuring a unique blend of style and functionality that evolves and improves with use, promising a distinctive fading over time.

Despite being a Japanese shirt, we find the sizing of Sugar Cane shirts to be more Western than Japanese. If you usually wear a size M in American shirts, you'll find a suitable fit with this shirt in size M. However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit. 

Although Sugar Cane was born in Japan, its spirit and creation are true to proper American manner from the experience learned at the Army base.
