Inspired by classic American workwear of the 1940s, the Sugar Cane SC42496 11oz Hickory Stripe Work Pants combine authentic heritage styling with the exceptional craftsmanship for which the Japanese brand is renowned. Built with durability in mind, they feature a relaxed straight-leg silhouette, practical utility details, and robust construction designed for everyday wear.
The fabric is woven from 11 oz hickory stripe cotton on traditional shuttle looms, recreating the texture and character of vintage workwear textiles. The indigo stripes are rope-dyed, allowing them to fade gradually over time and develop a rich patina much like a pair of raw denim jeans.
Originally adopted by the U.S. Navy before becoming a staple of American industrial workwear, hickory stripe fabric was valued for its improved visibility around railways, workshops, and heavy machinery. Today, it remains one of the most recognisable fabrics in heritage workwear.
Designed with both function and authenticity in mind, the trousers feature a high-rise waist with a roomy straight-leg fit, a button fly with vintage-style metal donut buttons, dual front and rear pockets, a hammer loop, and a side tool pocket. Signature green contrast stitching adds a subtle finishing touch while staying true to classic workwear construction.
Supplied in Sugar Cane's One Wash finish, the fabric has been rinsed to minimise shrinkage while retaining its authentic texture and character.
