Mackinnon Edition 1940s 14.5oz Raw Selvedge Denim

Regular price $177.00
Unit price
per 

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

The Mackinnon Special Edition honors a serviceman’s personal field modifications — restoring wartime-simplified elements such as waistband bucklebacks and pocket flaps for improved function. Made with the same coarse, slub-heavy denim used in the standard model, this version includes an uncoated iron buckle designed to rust naturally, a red triangle tab made from artificial silk prone to fraying, and added reinforcement details not found in the base wartime spec.

    Not all denim is created equal — here’s why we only ride with selvedge

    Brake House use only raw selvedge denim, the kind that ages beautifully and holds up over time. By working directly with trusted makers and skipping unnecessary markups, we offer high-quality denim at a price that makes sense. It's all about timeless style, built to last.

    Premium Selvedge Denim Now More Accessible

    We believe premium craftsmanship should be within reach. That’s why our denim lineup is now priced more fairly, so you can experience selvedge quality without compromise.

    Mackinnon Edition, 1940s Wartime Denim

    Named after a U.S. soldier who modified his uniform out of necessity, this edition revives personal wartime customizations — like bucklebacks and flapped pockets — lost to government restrictions.
    Each pair is built from 14.5oz rough indigo selvedge and features hardware designed to oxidize over time, telling its own aging story.
    Raw, practical, and deeply human, denim not just made for war, but made to endure.
