Yet another impossible to get hold of Japanese import, we front the Yen, you buy the book. This is treasure if you're in to minute details of period denim manufacture.
"A valuable research book that delves deeply into the wartime model, spanning an entire volume.
Everything you need to know about wartime workwear, illustrated with numerous images.
Chapter 6, "WW II," of the 2018 book "Who Made the 501XX?" was particularly compelling.
This book delves deeper into this theme and brings it all together in one volume.
By deciphering a vast amount of previously inaccessible documents (particularly laws from World War II), we present the complete picture of the wartime model, along with valuable vintage denim and numerous illustrations.
This book also covers the evolution of products from companies other than Levi's, as well as jackets and overalls other than jeans. It's a valuable research book packed with things you didn't know and want to know about wartime models."
Paperback. Largely Japanese texts with some English captions.
