Field Notes

Cut from a beautiful 13.6 ounce selvedge denim, which has been rinsed for added comfort, this jean boasts all of the period correct detailing of the WWII model. Inspired by a time when clothing manufacturing had to sacrifice a lot of the more nuanced details, in order to send raw materials to the war effort, this jean has a special place in denim history.

A slightly looser leg shape offers a comfortable fit, which is complimented by a higher rise, and traditional five-pocket top construction. Punch though copper rivets can be found throughout (excluding the watch pocket, of course), while a deerskin leather patch adorns the back.

    How to Wash
    Step 1

    When you’re ready to wash your jeans, button the fly and turn them inside out. Doing up the fly ensures the jeans maintain their shape, and turning them inside out avoids unwanted marks from the washing machine drum on the indigo.

    Step 2

    Place the jeans in your washing machine with neutral detergent, and set them on a non/low-spin wash at cold–20 degrees for raw, or up to 30 degrees for pre-washed. High spin may cause unwanted 'lightning fades', and washing too hot can cause excess shrinkage, so it’s important to follow these steps carefully!

    Step 3

    Once your jeans are done washing, hang them somewhere safe and allow them to air dry. Putting your jeans in a tumble dryer has a high chance of degrading the fabric and misshaping your jeans. Make sure wherever you hang them has proper drainage, as you’ll be expecting some indigo runoff.
