40’s Blue Bell Wrangler Side Zip Sanforized Denim Jeans (30)

Late 40's Blue Bells Sanforized Side Zips. One of the first models of these side zips! Santorini’s marked snap closure & Single stitching.

Condition: In great condition for era. Has a small hole on front bottom leg (see pictures). Minor wear, distressing, fading, marks, may be present and are considered part of its character as a true vintage rare piece. No significant issues.

Sizing:

Measurements are taken while laid flat and are approximate (& not doubled):

Waist: 15”

Hips: 22.5

Rise: 15”

Inseam: 28”

Leg opening 8.5”

Model is 5’6” & with this rise would normally wear 12.5-13” waist (hence baggy fit shown)

Back pockets feature a rare design (looks similar to Levi's og back pocket stitching). During the late 40’s, Levi's did not yet have a patent for the pocket stitch pattern and other brands would use the design for some pairs. These are a rarity not only because of the era, brand, quality, and style, but even more so due to it being a pair featuring the differing pocket stitching. A true vintage collector piece.
