SUGAR CANE 1955Z Model SC42955 14oz. DENIM 1955Z MODEL (ZIPPER FLY) Zipper fly 1955 model silhouette Regular straight Light ounce denim

Released in the mid-1950s, this zipper-fly model was designed with the East Coast market in mind, transitioning from workwear to fashion-oriented wear.

Although models made from sanforized denim appeared in the mid-1960s, this version still uses the same unsanforized loomstate denim as the button-fly models.

As for the details, this era is characterized by features such as unusually short heavy-gauge stitching on the sides and a rear center belt loop offset to the left, a design choice made to avoid thick layers of fabric for production efficiency and to conserve thread.

Following the vintage original, the belt loops are made from a lighter-ounce denim than the main body.

 The silhouette is a regular straight fit, similar to the 1947 model (Lot No. SC41947). The denim fabric is based on the vintage original, but because the yarn and dyeing were developed from scratch specifically for this model, it has a different texture than the 1947 model.

Like the denim fabric, the top button was not carried over from the 1947 model but was newly crafted to match the deadstock 1955Z.

The zipper is a brass pin-lock type GRIPPER ZIPPER.

Since the zipper tape is also made of cotton, you can expect it to fade and age just like the denim fabric.

As this is the earliest version of the zip-fly model, it features a leather patch.

The font of the stamp has also been faithfully reproduced.

In the vintage originals, this was changed to a paper patch shortly after this model.

As with the 1947 model, the corners of the hip pockets are reinforced with concealed rivets and bar tacks.

 The pocket openings at the waist have a gentler curve compared to the 1947 model.

The edge of the coin pocket opening features selvedge.

The pocket bags are made from heavy-weight cotton fabric, just like the 1947 model.

Viewing it from the inside, you can clearly see that the coin pocket is sewn on with a single-needle sewing machine.

 Looking at the yoke, the stitch width of the double-needle chain stitch is slightly narrower at 1/4 inch, compared to the 9/32 inch on the 1947 model.

The offset rear center belt loop, adopted from the mid-1950s, was a feature limited to a specific period ending in the 1960s.

Because it is produced on different sewing machines than the 1947 model, the finished width of the belt loops and the stitch width differ.

Furthermore, it uses light-ounce denim in accordance with the deadstock.

The "STANDARD DENIM" series by SUGAR CANE is based on the concept of creating "eternal staples"—jeans that are unaffected by time or trends.

Originally called waist overalls, jeans were born as workwear.

Specifications and silhouettes have evolved along with America’s development and the trends of the times, and the differences in details seen in each era are one of the great charms of vintage jeans.

Sugar Cane reproduces vintage jeans with a commitment to every step of the process—from spinning and dyeing the yarn to weaving and sewing—not to mention the visual details.

Believing that pursuing the fundamental processes of jean-making, even without ornamentation, leads to the creation of "standard jeans" that will be loved for years to come, rather than adding embellishments based on our own interpretations, we continue to craft our products with integrity..
