WWII RAGLAN SLEEVE DENIM CHORE COAT

DESCRIPTION
  • The WWII Raglan Sleeve Denim Chore Coat is cut from a 10 oz. gray-weft denim and based on a simplified wartime pattern developed under the material and price controls of the Second World War.
  • The use of raglan sleeves was intended to improve ease of movement and was a detail commonly seen on chore coats produced by American store brands during the period.
  • During World War II, jeans and denim garments were classified as "staple work clothing" by the War Production Board.
  • To support the war effort, the Office of Price Administration regulated the costs and construction details of these garments, ensuring they were affordable and conserved materials.
  • As a result, several mandated changes were implemented.
  • Pocket flaps were removed from jackets, and rivets were taken off the crotch and watch pockets of jeans.
  • A notable example is the prohibition of three-needle stitching, forcing manufacturers who specialized in this technique before the war to switch to two-needle stitching.
  • Further modifications were made based on material availability.
  • For example, branded buttons were replaced with standard-issue buttons featuring a laurel leaf design, and rivets were replaced with bar tacking.
  • 10 oz.
  • Gray Weft Denim
