The FR Herringbone Twill Check Work Shirt from Sugar Cane takes inspiration from two vintage FIVE BROTHER work shirts — one blue, one red — and recreates their character through an unusual herringbone twill weave rather than standard twill. The fabric uses four colours in both warp and weft, producing a richly textured, almost three-dimensional check pattern that reflects the inventive spirit of the 1940s–50s, when manufacturers experimented to stand apart from their competition. Details like the marbled buttons and gradient label are direct nods to this era.

Part of Sugar Cane’s FICTION ROMANCE series, the shirt revives lost construction techniques and combines historically accurate details into garments that capture the charm, craft and storytelling of true vintage workwear — reimagined for today.
