The 1100-19W from Full Count takes a look through the history books and borrows details from early 1940’s era denim. The jean boasts many details that denim enthusiasts have come to associate with WWII denim manufacturing, a time of rationing, necessity and resourcefulness.
For this model, Full Count have taken their iconic 13.7oz Zimbabwean denim and applied it to the shape of the 1108, a straight fit with a comfortable mid rise. 10oz chambray pocket bags have been added to this jean, a feature common to the era when luxury gave way to availability, and any material hanging around would do. In a similar vain, a single colour rusty gold thread has been used throughout and the peek-a-boo selvedge watch pocket goes un-rivited. The fly construction is made up of four simple black donut buttons and one laurel wreath button on the waistband.
The riveted back pockets bear no arches, instead opting to include the ingeniously creative DIY arcuate kit, in which a stencil, sponge and paint has been provided to apply your own brand stamp. The leather patch has still been featured, but has been detailed with military style WWII lettering. Limited to only 500 pairs this jean is sure to become a real collectors item, and is a fantastic interpretation of an iconic piece of denim history.
