Warehouse & Co. Greenebaum Lot. 1229 - 1900 4-Pocket Heavy Leather Bound Trousers: Duck Stripe (No Wash)

It was 150 years ago, on May 20, 1873, that Levi Strauss & Co. obtained a patent for the use of metal rivets to reinforce pockets in clothing. One year later, on August 25, 1874, Greenebaum Brothers, also based in San Francisco, obtained a patent for reinforcing stress points with leather. Until the rivet patent expired in the 1890s, Greenebaum Brothers' pants were supplied as durable workwear throughout the booming mineral mining boom, from the West to the Midwest. Greenebaum Brothers will celebrate their 150th anniversary in 2024. Warehouse has recreated their original 19th century design, the "Leatherbound Overalls," through their distinctive original "Two-by-One Denim."

GREENEBAUM BROTHERS
More evidence has been discovered that sets Greenebaum Brothers apart from other West Coast workwear brands that were born and disappeared in the 19th century. These thick duck stripes were made by Greenebaum in the 19th century as a salesman's sample. With authentic, real sewing, Greenebaum was developing not only denim but also distinctive fabrics from an early stage. This was because they had established a route to obtain imported goods arriving from Europe to the East Coast.

Silhouette
The thigh area is not extremely wide, and has a neat straight cut. The rise is slightly deep, making it very easy to wear and straight without any quirks. The fit around the waist does not narrow at the knees making for a moderate hem width that fits both sneakers and boots.

Details
The rivet area was patented in 1874 and is reinforced with leather, the front pocket does not have a coin pocket. The three-dimensional L-shape is also clearly an original feature.
