ONCE IN LIFETIME .....WW1 USN DENIM SET

buttoned fly

cinch back

1913

1922

As some of you might have noticed, i've been a little more than absent  lately ,not a lack of inspiration here bust mostly  a lack of time as i've been working on a big project that i'll be probably talking about on a later post .....But today,as a comeback special and as a follow up on an earlier post about USN denim jumper, i'd like to share with you,what is probably my most cherished piece of US NAVY vintage :complete set of pre WW1 denims. Such combo can be found as far as 1913 up to 1922 when the pull over jumper was replaced by the now famous buttoned front jumper .this 100 years old set is in an amazingly rare condition,considering the fact that such a set was considered as disposable and almost all of them ended up in the" rag bag" at some point of their life .i've forgotten to mention that it's a wearable size to boot.......
