1950s JC Penney’s Foremost (7)
You may already have noticed in the photos in my previous post that there is no top stitching on the side seams next to the front pockets, which is quite unusual. The side seam itself is sewn using a double row of chain stitches right next to each other, just like the 1940s Lee Riders I covered a couple of months ago. This double seam must have been considered strong enough to eliminate the need for reinforcement with top stitching. It fits in nicely with the quest for cost efficiency, which is a recurring theme for these jeans.
