Sugar Cane’s 14.25 oz. 1953 Denim Jacket is Back in Stock at Hinoya

Between the Type I and the Type III, take a wild guess at what jacket was popping off. The Type II of course! Created and popularized by Levi’s, this transitional jacket was only around for like a decade but left a serious impression for years to come.

Case in point, esteemed Japanese denim brand Sugar Cane is cranking out an exacting repro which has just been restocked over at Hinoya. Coming in 14.25 oz., this jacket will have you doing a double takes on appearance alone let alone accuracy to the original. From its period-correct lemon-yellow and orange stitching and stamped buttons to the deerskin leather neck patch, everything is in its right place, especially its marquee two flap-chest pockets. And don’t forget that classic boxy cut and pleated front. Coming at a fraction of the cost of an original, rejoice at the ability to have the look while being the first owner, without the guilt that comes from merely breathing on a vintage example let alone trying one on or wearing one. Pair it with a broken-in pair of jeans or khakis and a white t- shirt and you’ll be able to do no wrong.

Available for $195 from Hinoya.
