History

Established by Toyo Enterprise in Japan, Sugar Cane emerged from a corporate history of supplying garments to United States military bases. It gained cultural significance for pioneering the use of recycled sugarcane waste in denim weaving. This technique produces a distinct texture while reducing total cotton reliance. The brand remains a central figure in the Japanese denim industry, influencing the global heritage movement through its commitment to vintage manufacturing processes and historical shuttle looms.
