It’s war for The Flat Head. The 12 oz. S2003 WWII Denim Jeans are inspired by WWII-era Levi’s 501 jeans, but made modern through Japanese craft and technique.
If you’re wondering what makes WWII-era Levi’s 501s special, it’s the resource-saving details from a rationing wartime America. Arcuates were painted instead of stitched, fabric offcuts were used for pocket bags, and coin pockets were reinforced with bar-tacks instead of rivets.
Cut from a lovely lightweight 12 oz. yarn-dyed Japanese selvedge denim that’s sure to fade better than those true blue vintage pairs out there, the S2003 is a straight-tapered fit with a mid-high rise, a great fit for most infantrymen out there – comfortable and functional without too much extra fabric draping toward the hem.
Each pair is made in Japan, with all the aforementioned WWII-era denim details – iron doughnut button fly; bar tack embroidered reinforcements; Japanese-milled flannel random pocket bags; red selvedge ID; and hand-painted back pocket arcuates that will likely chip off and create interesting patina over time.
Available for $337 from Corlection.
