Vintage Workwear

[thunderw21]

I have two pairs of these, I think they're from the late 1950s or 1960s seeing how they have Dacron in them. NOS condition.

Nice and elaborate shirts that look really comfortable.

(The guy on the first scan looks a lot like a certain German dictator who had a thing for brown shirts, though. )

Hello guys, could someone please point me in the direction of some good photos of people wearing Levis type1 and 2 jackets from the 1930s and 1940s? Didn't seem to find any in this thread. Looking for some workwear inspiration.

I just bought me one and still seeing if its an original piece.

but to answer your question have you tried the Rivet head blog? thought I saw one on there.

Idk where he gets the pics but they're cool

 

[Metatron]

Thanks for the recommendation, I've browsed that excellent blog many times, but I think I only ever found photos of cowboys wearing type 1s.

I am not in the forum but maybe somewhere at denimbro?

PS: If you find them, don't forget to cross-post them here.

heres a goose hunter I believe wearing the 1st ed.

Great pics guys! Thanks for the link FFF, I won't repost anything here, but simply recommend that people follow that link and browse the entire thread!

Btw a while back we were talking about those green/red Swedish work trousers: I just picked up one of the jackets that go with them, and it's actually a nice piece. Great fit, and would work as a casual summer jacket. Looks alot like something Old Town would make, but at about a tenth of the price. Recommended. Will try to take some pics on the weekend. Nothing spectacular btw, just a nice work jacket. But that's what this whole thread is about right?

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

Oh yes the jacket. I wondered about them too sicne I don't have many summer blazers but I don't want a green one. Hm...at least I would wear them together.

I almost forgot to tell: The brown dye of my swedish work pants washed out and became irrgular (and greenish again). I will try again with two boxes of the dye. I should have known that the heavy cotton needs more dye than a modern sweatshirt or something. But the dye itself is very dark brown so it should cover the green if I use a higher amount.

Just got one of these. A few around in the US, I guess, but pretty scarce in the UK.

Roebucks simply never sold jackets over here:eeek:

I found this week a pic from 1908 . Some "Experts" says no Belt loops before the 1920s.....Except the US Army breeches

So, here are the pics of the Swedish work jacket. I wasn't expecting much, and was pleasantly surprised. Imho nicer than a lot of the French stuff that sells for considerably more.

Strictly speaking the outfit worn below might not qualify as workware according to the normal standards - but if you were a late 1920's professor of archaeology and descended into the excavational trenches I'd bet you'd rather wear this than the notorious fedora, whip et al...

The photo show Prof. Friedrich Gündel and was captured in 1927 at Heddernheim, Frankfurt am Main by Berit Wallenberg who would later become one of the greatest private funders of Swedish archaeology
