work wear/ denim

[Grant]

for all you fellow denim heads and work wear geeks here's a couple of cool 40's color FSA photographs.

GREAT PHOTOS thanks for posting those..

Yeah, here's another couple. Check out the awesome dungarees the sharecropper is wearing (the caption read he was shooting at hawks that were killing his chickens).

Blimey-superb shots Grant. If you told those blokes how much their workclothes would be worth in 60 years' times they'd laugh at you.

Fantastic photos. Digital photography still has a long way to go to match that quality. That's an interesting rifle that guy has. It looks like a WW1 French Lebel but I'm sure someone will know better.

I believe it's a US Krag rifle of late 1800s vintage.

Yep, there's no way that digital will ever look as good as photos taken on celluloid by a man with a lightmeter and a lot of experience. AWESOME.

Anybody know of a maker of a pukka, repro' 'hickory stripe 'Engineer's Cap' ?

You know, I'd rather see a whole board dedicated to denim / vintage workwear than the flight sims one which has so few posts ........

Yep, with that side magazine, I'd guess it's a Krag.

Good luck hitting a flying bird with that thing, and I wouldn't want to be downrange when that bullets comes back to earth.

Check out the fan tail Talon zip on grizzly jacket, patched chin strap work shirt with cool patch work and the denim in the second photo.

Many don't showcase clothing specifically, but it's still a great set.
