Vintage 1930s N&W Denim Chin Strap Chore Jacket

'30s N&W Denim Chin Strap Chore Jacket. manufactured by the N&W Overall Company in the 1930s. one of the first finished garment factories based out of Lynchburg Virginia, the N&W Overall Company was formed in 1902 and began it's life producing bib overalls for local N&W railroad employees. after seeing success the company expanded to the public sector, producing ready to wear overalls and other denim garments for farmers and other working people across the country. 

stunning and scarce example of this early denim chore jacket! fresh from an estate in north carolina. this jacket looks like it could have been produced yesterday. only minor wear, most notably an oil stain on one of the sleeves. this is a five pocket design, with four pockets on the front and a large pocket on the interior. it has a chin strap detail with donut button. has most of its original N&W brass change buttons, as well as snaps on the arms. surprisingly there is no major rust or tarnishing to any of the buttons. three on the front have been replaced by the original owner with 1940s navy change buttons, which were used in the production of the denim shawl. fits like a medium.
