*Regarding the size chart, our denim is washed once after sewing, but there are individual differences in how much it shrinks.
Waist measurements are particularly prone to variation, so we measure all of our inventory and then record the average values ​​on the size chart.
There may be some variation, so please understand this before purchasing.

These denim pants were newly designed by Gene Engineering, an original denim brand within Dry Bones, and are said to have been made exclusively between 1941 and 1945.

The silhouette is a regular fit similar to the 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. Woven with uneven yarn counts of 6 for the warp and 7 for the weft, the selvedge denim is woven on an old power loom, a type of loom that is now on the verge of extinction.

The brand name is a play on genetic engineering, and it conveys the idea of ​​passing on these ``good things that have been made since ancient times.''

So the pocket stitching is a "double helix of DNA." I hope that this stitching conveys the brand concept of inheriting the good old things and passing them on to the next generation.

Dry Bones has recreated what is commonly known as the "war model," a very rare item. Normally, the pockets and crotch would have reinforcing rivets, but due to material restrictions during the war, copper supplies were reduced, so these were discontinued.

Also, like the vintage version, one front button has been removed and replaced with a more versatile plain varnished button. The first button is also a one-star button with a laurel pattern.

The biggest feature is the stitching on the pocket.

Like a certain brand, they used paint to resemble stitching, which allowed them to reduce the use of cotton thread during material restrictions. At the time, the fabric was printed with paint, which meant it was hard and dry by the time it was shipped...

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

In addition, since it overlaps with the period when belt loops existed and the period 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.

The pocket lining on the front pocket is made of cotton striped cloth used for work shirts.

The reverse front placket is piping rather than serged with a serger, highlighting the careful handwork.

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

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