These denim pants are a new project by Dry Bones' original denim brand, Gene Engineering, and are said to have been made exclusively between the years 1941 and 1945.

The silhouette is a regular fit similar to DP-562, but the thigh and hem widths are slightly wider, giving it a more "old-fashioned" feel.

This series, named JEAN ENGINEERING, uses 13.5 oz. selvedge denim. The selvedge denim is woven with uneven warp threads #6 and weft threads #7 on an old loom called a power loom. , one of the species that is now on the verge of extinction.

The brand name, which plays on the word GENE ENGINEERING, conveys the meaning of passing on these "good things that have been made since ancient times."

So the pocket stitch is a "DNA double helix diagram." I would be happy if you could guess from this stitch the brand concept of inheriting the good old things and passing them on to the next generation.

Dry Bones has recreated a very rare model known as the "war model." Normally, there are reinforcing rivets on the pockets and crotch, but... It has been suspended due to reduced copper supplies due to the current controls.

Also, like the vintage version, the number of front buttons has been reduced by one, and more versatile plain varnished buttons have been used. The first button is also a one-star button with a laurel pattern.

And the biggest feature is the stitching on the pocket.

Like a certain brand, they succeeded in "reducing the use of cotton thread" under material control by applying paint that resembled stitching. At the time, the product was printed with paint, so it was hard and dry by the time of shipping, but …

We use rubber ink. Sometimes the paint gets caught during sewing and peels off, but please think of this as a characteristic of the product. In fact, it lasts a little longer than paint.

In addition, since it overlaps with the time when belt loops existed and the time when suspenders were used, it is equipped with belt loops and suspender buttons. Moreover, the suspender buttons are sewn-on metal buttons, just like the ones issued at the time.

Additionally, the pocket lining on the front pocket is made from cotton striped cloth used for work shirts.

The reverse front placket is piping instead of serger stitching, highlighting the careful craftsmanship of the item.

Other touches include the folded seam at the crotch, the offset belt loops and the curved pocket stitching, all of which are indicative of a reverence for vintage styles.

Try inheriting the genes of the 1940s while still existing in the 21st century.
