Imo the coin pocket doesn’t look right for a ww2 era pair , most of the ww2 lee’s I’ve seen have The coin pocket in more of a central position ( like Levi’s ) and didn’t have rivets
Here is a vintage example http://vintage-mushroom.net/?pid=138554466 There a really nice pair of jeans and the fit is perfect for you |

Thanks, Flash.
Those jeans in your link seem funny for a Wartime pair—the arcs make sense, but I didn't expect to see suspender buttons or a crotch rivet…and they're made from a right-handed denim! Lee was all over the place. I've got a lot to learn. |

I was thinking the same today when i was looking at repro's, then i spotted this pair, granted no rivet but the coin pocket is the same shape as the SC, or it would be if the material was folded back over. |

Julian’s look like the M41027 as seen here on Yahoo auctions, however, this pair seem to have blue selvedge.
The back pocket placement doesn’t seem vintage enough for a true reproduction, they look too closely set. |

Haven't we already ruled these^ out? These MP-619 below ring more true, same button assembly, same pink selvedge, same cut, the M41027 look mad loose in comparrison. |

Good eye on the hip pocket placement. These do seem much less spread out than what I'm used to seeing on old Lee jeans, which—reproduction aside—I see as a big plus. Maybe I'm not spending enough time on horseback?
