Sugar Cane ‘Fiction Romance’ 8.5oz Black Wabash Stripe Work Shirt – Sulfur Dyed

The Sugar Cane Fiction Romance Black Wabash Work Shirt recreates one of the rarest patterns in early American workwear — the elusive black Wabash stripe. While indigo versions are legendary among collectors, black Wabash fabrics existed in the early 20th century but were produced in far smaller quantities. Sugar Cane’s Fiction Romance line revives this lost piece of history with stunning accuracy.

Made from 8.5oz sulfur-dyed black cotton twill, the shirt’s dotted stripes are applied using a traditional etching printing process, just as in original turn-of-the-century fabrics. The tone is modeled after a vintage sample, giving the surface a naturally faded, timeworn character that will continue to evolve with wear. Authentic details include asymmetrical chest pockets, a collar chin strap, black metal donut buttons, selvedge-reinforced side gussets, and a union ticket stitched under the placket — hallmarks of early workwear production. Red chain-stitch thread on the interior adds a discreet nod to vintage manufacturing methods.

Part of the Fiction Romance series, this piece reflects Sugar Cane’s philosophy of reinterpreting historical garments through deep research and precise Japanese craftsmanship. A rare reproduction of a near-forgotten fabric — built for those who appreciate both authenticity and function.
