A reproduction of the two-pleat trousers that were hugely popular in America in the 1950s.

The original name was Hollywood Belt 2 Tuck Trousers.

The Hollywood belt is a style of trouser that was popular in central California in the 1950s.

Trousers are originally made with a separate body and belt section, and the weave of the fabric is changed when they are sewn together to prevent the fabric from stretching.

However, the Hollywood belt of that time had the body lifted up all the way to the belt part, and two more tucks were added to create a really beautiful drape.

The side seams are always sewn with a split, and slash pockets are often included.

Also, from the late 1940s to the early 1950s, it was popular to place a double-welted pocket exactly halfway between the tuck and the side seam. This is a very time-consuming way to make a pocket, but we have faithfully reproduced this as well.

The side seams are hand-stitched. To be precise, they are decorative stitches that look like hand stitching, but Dry Bones uses an embroidery machine to recreate these stitches.

The material is 95% wool gabardine, and since it is deadstock fabric, we were unable to make many.

Only standard brown color is available.

The back of the belt is fitted with a luxurious anti-slip rubber attachment called Russell.

It is also equipped with suspender buttons, so you can enjoy both the belt and suspenders.

In the 1950s, it was worn with a variety of items, including jackets, sweaters, shirts, and cut-and-sew tops.

This is a hidden gem from Dry Bones.
