section (of an orange, etc.)The first for me too, as it happens, are coveralls. Among them, I brought what are commonly referred to as "World War II models" (models that were simplified versions of the official version during World War II at the behest of the authorities due to a lack of supplies). The first one is Lee's "91-J" World War II version, the "S91-J". It has only one front pocket on each side, and the slacks inside the pockets are made of herringbone, which is different from the original version.

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)Ah, this is the slake, isn't it? Is this "Allen" also a WWII model?

section (of an orange, etc.)Yes, I bought it because I liked the asymmetrical front pockets, but upon closer inspection, the number of buttons and specifications were obviously simplified. Well, the war ended in 1945, so I thought it must be at least 40s.

chestnut fieldI believe I've heard that the Great War model itself was made until about '47. . it seems that government control continued from '42, the year after the war started, and for a while after the war ended.

Fujiwara:As far as Levi's is concerned, the control was lifted in December of 1945. However, it is impossible for them to disappear from the market immediately after the control was lifted, so I think they were probably made until 1946, including irregular products during the transitional period.

chestnut fieldI see.

section (of an orange, etc.)This JC Penney S-10-412 is one of the World War II models, and Mr. Chestnut gave it to me as a dead stock. Like Levi's S501XX, the model name is prefixed with the initial "S" of "Simplified," meaning "simplified.

chestnut fieldThis is not even labeled with a size, and the buttons are off-the-shelf, inexpensive ones, so if there were no flasher, you might not even be able to tell that it was made by "JC Penney.

Fujiwara:. The staples that held this flasher in place are also unique to the Great War model.

chestnut fieldYes, it is.

section (of an orange, etc.)Of course I like G-jans, but a few years ago, I started to be interested in coveralls. I started to collect the World War II models that were too expensive for me to afford in the 90's. I think they are unique in their detail work, including the mess pockets. The details, including the gacha pockets, that are not found in the official versions are unique. I'm not interested in million-yen class coveralls, and I personally like casual models like these. Are there any expensive brands of coveralls other than Lee and Carhartt, which I introduced here before?

Fujiwara:. The basics are still those two brands.

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)Speaking of the Great War model, I still get the impression that the bottoms are more expensive than the tops.

Fujiwara:The other day, for our (Berberzin) 20th anniversary, we released the S96-J, a World War II version of Lee's pinstripe model 96-J. To tell the truth, I used to own a raw silk World War II model.

section (of an orange, etc.)It was! I guess the customer hit on you again and you gave it away (laughs).

section (of an orange, etc.). the second one is a pair of riders from " Shot ". I don't think they are particularly old, but I like the brown color. I had always avoided double riders because they didn't suit me at all, but a few years ago, I suddenly wanted to try them on. I happened to go to "Okidoki" and saw this one on sale, so I bought it immediately. I also thought the short length of the riders was one of the reasons why they didn't suit me, but luckily this model is long.

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)I didn't know there was such a thing as a long "shot. How old is it?

section (of an orange, etc.)Around the 70's?

chestnut fieldYes, it is.

section (of an orange, etc.)Originally, I thought that the "Cyclone" by "Lewis Leather" might still look good on me. I originally knew that black would not look good on me, so I got the navy, but as soon as I realized that it was easier to wear than I thought, I wanted the brown (laughs).

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)Certainly it would be easier to wear if it were as long as this.

section (of an orange, etc.)But I'm still curious about epaulettes.... I've always had a hard time with epaulettes. . How about you, Konno?

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)Well, I personally don't like it (laughs).

all of us(Laughter)

Fujiwara:I'm trying my best to like it, but everyone comes up to me and says things like, "If only we didn't have epaulettes..." (laughs).

chestnut fieldGentle (laughter).

all of us(Laughter)

section (of an orange, etc.)I don't have any backbone like a delinquent (laughs) , I just want to wear it in a classy way.

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)It certainly may not look as hard as black. . It looks good on you. And the length is still good.

section (of an orange, etc.)I know, right?

Fujiwara:I'll look for this one in black too. If you want, I'll buy it from you, Mr. Abe, with an iron on (laughs).

section (of an orange, etc.)If you get that much praise, on the contrary, you won't let it go (laughs).

section (of an orange, etc.)The third is " Champion " "Reverse Weave" in gray with white print.

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.). this is unusual. . moreover, it is called a monochromatic tag. Monochromatic tags come in various patterns, such as red, blue, and green, but what is it?

chestnut fieldPersonally, I thought it had something to do with size. For example, XS has more green, XL has more yellow, and so on . However, when I looked it up, I found that there are some exceptions, such as M and L mixed with red and blue, so it seems that there are many theories.

section (of an orange, etc.)Well, let's not talk about monochromatic tags (laughs).

all of us(Laughter)

section (of an orange, etc.)The fact that white is chosen for the print, which would be meaningless if it did not stand out, is unique and somewhat unusual.

Fujiwara:No, not slightly, but usually rare, white pre.

chestnut fieldYes, it is. I think it is much more of a fashion statement than a uniform.

section (of an orange, etc.)Yes, it is.

Fujiwara:I saw a white flocky print on a vintage sweatshirt too, and it was quite unique, so I started looking with an interest in collecting it, but it never turned up. Not only for "Champion" but also for other brands, gray and white pre is quite rare.

section (of an orange, etc.)Recently, some stores have been charging a lot for reverse weaves from the 90's onward, and I guess the number of pieces is decreasing. Especially for military items (NAVY, USMA, USAF, etc.), the prices have gone out of this range.

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)Certainly you don't see the things themselves very often anymore, and when they do appear, they are not at a price you can easily afford.

section (of an orange, etc.). ending with a bandana as usual (laughs). DUPLEX this time. Is it a brand to begin with? Is it a brand?

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)I think it means "double" or "duplicate".

section (of an orange, etc.). right? I still wonder if it's not a brand? I guess it's from the 30s or 40s or something, but there were a few that were labeled "GUARANTEED DUPLEX FAST" or "GUARANTEED FAST COLOR DUPLEX" or something like that.

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.). But it is certainly enigmatic, as it even has a monochromatic print instead of a double meaning.

section (of an orange, etc.)The often seen notation "TUSIDE" was at first thought to refer to TWO SIDES and was so labeled because it looks double-sided, but I later learned that it was a brand name when I saw the logo sticker, so I can't say that it is not a brand name in general.

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)I see.

section (of an orange, etc.)Of the numerous ones that I don't know if it's the brand or the wording that refers to the specifications, I think DUPLEX is one of the least common. I buy them when I find them, even if they're the same pattern, because they're old and rare, and by the 60's they've completely disappeared, so probably the last ones, if any, would be in the 50's. . . maybe only up to the 40's though.

chestnut fieldThe brand name itself has a meaning , so I guess it's not wacky.

section (of an orange, etc.)Yes, yes. IRON WEAVE, which is sometimes seen, can be taken as "a weave as strong as iron," and can also be applied to a brand name.

the recently departed (and buried or cremated, etc.)Even if I were to put together a documentary summary of the bandana, it would be a real challenge to work through all the details that are unknown.

section (of an orange, etc.)I know....

Fujiwara:How much is the most expensive DUPLEX?

section (of an orange, etc.). honestly, I think it's a world of exaggerated prices. I saw a DUPLEX navy deadstock for almost 90,000 at a thrift store in Osaka once, but it was sold out immediately.... It was a good pattern, and dead stocks are rare, but I was surprised at that. Also, as I recall from the high price, I recently saw a dead stock with a cross pattern in a package for about 50,000 yen, but that sold out immediately as well. . as far as rare items are concerned, it's a complete blue ceiling.

chestnut fieldIs that cross black?

section (of an orange, etc.)No , just regular navy.

Fujiwara:It's still a bad world (laughs).
