Cushman 22192 13.5oz XX 1937 Special Model Jeans

The Cushman 22192 13.5oz XX Denim Pants faithfully recreate the legendary 1937 jean, a pivotal transitional model in denim history. This era marked the retention of the cinch back while suspender buttons were phased out, alongside the introduction of hidden rivets and the iconic red tab—details that would define the evolution of classic American workwear.

Crafted in Japan from custom-developed 13.5oz XX selvedge denim, the fabric captures the character of pre-war jeans with its rich, deep indigo shade and authentic vintage texture. The yarn construction features slightly more pronounced irregularity in the weft than the warp, creating a distinctive surface character, while the reverse side reveals a rugged, coarse feel reminiscent of early denim production methods.

Cut with a high rise and a relaxed straight-leg silhouette, the 22192 delivers the timeless fit and comfort associated with original workwear from the 1930s.What truly sets this model apart is Cushman's uncompromising dedication to traditional manufacturing. Every stage of construction is carried out using carefully selected vintage sewing machines, resulting in the unique stitch tension, puckering, and character that modern machinery simply cannot replicate. Complementing the authentic construction are exclusive Cushman details including original tack buttons, a goat leather patch, and an iron double-prong SOLIDE cinch buckle.

Every pair is produced using an extensive collection of period-correct industrial machines, including vintage Singer, Adler, Dürkopp, and Union Special models made exclusively from Libra Pondus in Osaka. From lockstitching and chain stitching to hemming, belt-loop attachment, buttonholing, and bartacking, each process contributes to the authentic appearance and durability expected from premium heritage denim. The result is a remarkably faithful reproduction of a pre-war classic—built with the craftsmanship, texture, and character that vintage denim enthusiasts seek
