Crafted under wartime constraints between 1942 and 1945, the Mobilization model recreates the rugged, simplified denim issued during America’s military production surge. The Great Victory Series marks the transition from raw wartime austerity to cleaner postwar craftsmanship. As the war neared its end, experienced factory workers returned, and material availability stabilized. This 14oz denim has a smoother, more uniform weave with deeper indigo tone, resembling the "year one" denim widely revered by collectors. Construction is neater, logos appear on hardware, and the overall feel is still rugged but more resolved — a preview of what would soon become the postwar standard.
