The Sugar Cane 2009 is the slim straight cut from Sugar Cane. It's been called the 1947 Model Type II, because if you think of what a traditional 501 jean from 1947 would look like, this has the same feel, just a slimmer profile in the thigh and leg. The denim is on the lighter side of the mid-weight denim range weighing in at 12 oz., and is a combination of American and Zimbabwean cottons that have been double ring spun for softness. If you're looking for a no-brainer pair of jeans with all the details of high-end Japanese denim, this is it.
