This Sunday I have denim. All denim all the time.
Well, the time of the mid 30s to mid 40s.

  2. Wow, looking at the women's selections it's no wonder they wore men's clothes. Women's overalls: 2.2oz cloth, men's: 8oz! I do like the fitted bibs on some of the women's garments.

  3. Yeah, the women's denim was pretty skimpy. No more than a medium weight till in most cases.

  4. I love those men's bandtop jeans. I'm planning to make my gardener husband some work pants and those would look gorgeous on him! Does anyone know of a good base pattern I could work off of?
