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.
