A look on the inside of the 1960s Western-style jeans I made last week. I'm always more interested in the inside than the outside, as it says a lot about the construction of the jeans.

The perfect red Waldes zipper for this pair of 1960s-style red denim jeans. Of course from Citron Jeans @Kenji

Managed to do the front pockets today. This type of pocket was used a lot on store-brand jeans in the 60s and 70s.

First soak of one of the two 1946-style jeans I made the other day. Ready to be worn!

Making some progress ...
Two pairs set around 1946, just after WW2.

Making a pair as a gift for a colleague at work. He's not particularly into vintage denim, so this will be just a very basic pair of tapered fit 5-pocket jeans.

Some details on a pair of waist overalls set around 1905, just after the introduction of overlocking but before chainstitch machines were used, so the back and yoke seams were flat-felled.
The denim is a lightweight 2x1, perfect for summer.

Finishing up a pair of waist overalls set around 1905.

Two pairs inspired by 1930s store brands like JC Penney’s.

Next up is a pair of 1960s-style off-white pique jeans.
I'll do all the steps I can do with my machines here in Osaka, and then continue next time I go back home to Tokyo, where I have my double-needle chainstitch machine.
