The Buzz Rickson’s WWII Blue Denim Waist Overalls are a faithful Japanese reproduction of the jeans produced during World War II, a period marked by strict material rationing. To comply with wartime regulations, manufacturers had to simplify designs by removing non-essential elements. As a result, these jeans lack the rivets on the coin pocket and crotch, as well as the bar tacks on the back pockets.

Crafted in Japan from a rugged 13.6oz selvedge denim in deep indigo, these jeans maintain a rugged and textured feel, staying true to the original war-era models. The waistband features iron donut buttons with an intricate laurel pattern, while the back yoke showcases a subtle height variation for a distinctive vintage look. Inside, the pocket bags reveal a glimpse of the selvedge edge, and olive herringbone twill is used for reinforcement—a nod to WWII-era military fabrics. The jeans feature intentional 'rough stitching' to replicate the sewing imperfections of the original WWII model, adding an authentic vintage touch. Loose threads, which are part of the design, can be left as is for a rugged look or trimmed to suit personal preference.

A standout feature is the "For The Duration" flasher, indicating that these wartime jeans were made with modified specifications due to material shortages. This historical detail adds to the authenticity of the piece. Additionally, Buzz Rickson’s, known for its exceptional WWII military reproductions, incorporates a symbolic "E Pennant" in reference to the U.S. government’s award for excellence in war production. Designed with a relaxed fit and a high rise, these jeans embody both durability and historical accuracy, making them a must-have for denim enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Fit Notes: As many other Buzz Rickson's Jeans, they run slightly small. In general, we recommend choosing one size larger than your usual. However, as always, we recommend checking the size chart first to find your perfect size. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.
