This model was then only produced for around 6-8months before the models were somewhat standardized for the remainder of the war, before then transitioning again from 1945 onwards as restrictions were lifted and materials became available.
This period itself then produced some models with unique and short lived combinations of features. 

Is this correct?..Broadly speaking? Thanks

 

TLDR: Do both the second half of 1942 and 1945 models feature denim Pocket bags and a crotch rivets? Or just one of those years? 

 

 

You've probably seen the new FW 1945 second half jeans.
It seems, that this model with light denim pocket bags, WWII denim, crotch rivet, no coin pocket rivets, no cinch, was produced from the second half of 1942 to the second half of 1945.
Most likely there were different models produced in parallel, i.e. with HBT or flannel pockets.
There were probably also different denims and cuts in use over the war time.

Thanks.
It’s exactly that…I’ve seen the S601xx second half of 1945 pair from Freewheelers and also the S1003xx (S1000xx) 1942 pair from Warehouse, both featuring similar details. The new 1945 release from Freewheelers is what had me wondering. 
I hadn’t realized that those features were produced throughout that period, and not just at the start or end.

Well, nobody really knows but I don't think we can generalise the 42 or 45 just based on 1-2 jeans of 10,000s that survived the time. There were probably just as many of totally different or normal 501s that just didn't make it to us.

I understand this. Just found it an interesting coincidence that pairs from both end of the war had the same set of features.
