The hardware.
It would be almost impossible to find the exact same parts as on the original Montgomery Ward 101, but my priority was to use period correct hardware. The buttons, rivets and buckle are all made of copper-plated or copper-covered steel, just like those on the original jacket.

Most vintage buckles are made of steel, often copper- or brass-plated, but some are actually made of brass, like this beauty.

1930s Snag Proof buckle back jeans
The cinch buckle on this pair is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen! It's made of copper-plated iron, and therefore, as you can see in the last pic, sticks to a magnet.

Sewing the back cinch, with a new-old-stock vintage buckle.
I decided not to give up on my Toyota Super Jeans machine yet. I cleaned it out, gave it some oil, and it seems to have made at least a bit of a difference.
I removed all stitches I'd sewn so far, and put everything back together, with some modifications. It's looking a bit more as intended now.

How I used to make cinch buckles. Now I use real vintage buckles, so I don't need to make these anymore. This is the last one I have lying around, so I think I'll just hold on to this one.

1910s Eureka waist overall -- cinch buckle
The buckle is selfmade, as replica buckles weren't available yet and I didn't have access to vintage buckles. I made these by bending, pressing and cutting copper wire into shape.
The real thing was usually made of iron, which is far stronger, but also very difficult to shape by hand, so I mostly used copper.
