Jason's Warehouse + Signet Contest Jeans.
Our limited collaborative model with Warehouse & Co. Based on an anomalous model produced by Levi's towards the end of WW2 in the 40s. (*See Page 111 of The 501XX Book).
The Contest Jean, while based on a WW2 cut, possesses a couple of traits that distinguishes it from most jeans inspired by that era. It has a slightly lower rise and more generous top block with a gentle curve at the hip. This extra space creates a balloon-like taper from the hip down, a silhouette which is highly emblematic of the 1930s and 1940s.
