To support the war effort, the Office of Price Administration regulated the costs and construction details of these garments, ensuring they were affordable and conserved materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, several mandated changes were implemented. Pocket flaps were removed from jackets, and rivets were taken off the crotch and watch pockets of jeans. A notable example is the prohibition of three-needle stitching, forcing manufacturers who specialized in this technique before the war to switch to two-needle stitching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurther modifications were made based on material availability. For example, branded buttons were replaced with standard-issue buttons featuring a laurel leaf design and rivets were replaced with bar tacking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WWII DENIM ENGINEER COAT is finished with four laurel buttons at the front and a single button at each cuff, a configuration typical of garments made between 1942 and 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 oz.
