While I've had issues with some of their items, I've been happy with their t-shirts & henleys.

LazyS, Yes. It could be that. The only time I've seen a WW2 Levi jacket in person was at Inspiration. A fellow was wearing one & it looked superb. I engaged him in conversation about it. I didn't go over it with a fine tooth comb but it didn't look wonky at all.

Point taken, rbeck. The example you've shown definitely demonstrates some sloppy sewing. I guess it's this stitch line on the right side of the buttons that is my main head scratcher. I think to myself would someone actually buy that (speaking of back in the era it was made)? I guess there were situations where employers bought in bulk & handed out to their workers who would have had no say in the matter. That all being said, if SC will just admit it's a factory second, & slash the price, I'll buy one (wink).

That's the direction I went, Shredwin & I'm not disappointed although I will say I liked the fit of the TCB contest jeans better, and also the old LVC model.

Those look pretty tight compared to the highly asymmetrical SC jacket. I see some overlapping stitching where they've run out of thread & started over, but all the lines look on target.

It's certainly been a lively discussion.

Thanks, beautiful FrEak.

Right, beautiful_FrEak. The first time I read the blog post that was my interpretation. Then on the second reading I picked up this in the text [with a focus on faithfully replicating the “character”] and that caused me to question whether it was a full on replica job or more of a philosophical excursion, type of thing. If it is a replica, then I find the level of wonkiness rather shocking. Makes me think people must have been pretty desperate to get a denim suit, in order to tolerate that level of slop. Of course I understand denim history fanatics of today being turned on by those elements. One thing I'm wondering about, I believe Lee (& Wrangler?) were making jeans & jackets in 1944. I've never heard anything about their products having the sloppy sewing element. Perhaps someone here can shed some light on that subject?

So what do we think about the new SUGAR CANE SUPER DENIM COLLECTIBLES 1943 models? Has the wonkiness finally been taken too far?...

I'm potentially interested as long as they're fairly high waisted.

Thanks Maynard, & Cold Summer for the advice.

Can anyone tell me if Flat Head shirts shrink in the wash. It's the heavy flannel models I'm asking about.
