Rivet-reinforced coin pockets and mismatched button sizes lend to the distinctive character of this timeless piece, perfect for modern workwear enthusiasts and vintage aficionados alike.
From the brand: A meticulous recreation of postwar transition denim, these 13oz waist overalls capture the exact moment when American workwear began shifting from wartime austerity (1941-1945) to peacetime production. Woven in Japan using specially sourced cotton that replicates the irregular 7-count warp/6.5-count weft yarns of the era, then sewn in Sugar Cane's US factory with hybrid wartime/postwar details: rivet-reinforced coin pockets (revived post-1945) but retaining raw unfinished seams and misshaped hip pockets from rationing-era cuts.
