Description

Crafted under wartime constraints between 1942 and 1945, the Mobilization model recreates the rugged, simplified denim issued during America’s military production surge.

Manufacturers were ordered to reduce the use of fabric and metal, leading to garments that were stripped-down but deeply functional. This pair uses 14.5oz coarse indigo selvedge denim, sewn with thick cotton thread in uneven gauges, reflecting both material scarcity and the inexperience of newly recruited factory labor. What once were flaws—misaligned stitching, asymmetrical pocket placement, mismatched rivets—are now viewed as historical character, captured with precise intention.

The trousers feature a triangular artificial silk tab, painted rear pocket motif, and copper-plated iron hardware. Each detail speaks to the urgency and ingenuity of wartime clothing design. Raw and irregular, but never careless, the Mobilization model stands as a faithful tribute to the "Big War" aesthetic—rough on the outside, refined in its purpose.

Mobilization-Era Denim, 1942–1945

Developed during America’s full-scale wartime mobilization, this model echoes jeans hastily assembled by newly recruited workers under WPA regulations.

Cut from 14.5oz rough indigo raw selvedge, unrefined by design, honest by nature.
