The worst seamstress ever?

This is just my opinion, but I'd feel silly wearing those jeans with the white NRA tag dangling conspicuously on them. (I have a feeling that in the '30s, folks would have cut the tag off after buying the jeans.)

Why do you say that, Marc? From what I've read the NRA was very popular with the American working class, the very people who would have worn these jeans in 1933.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

It was; but the NRA tag itself would have been taken off by the jeans' purchaser for the same reason that you and I remove price tags after buying a pair of pants.

People didn't wear tags back then, according to my dad: one reason why Minnie Pearl's character was laughed at. lol lol

Of course, that makes perfect sense. I was thinking of the NRA tag in the same way as the WW2 CC41 tags in the UK, which weren't removed (but also weren't sewn in a visible place)

How accurate are those jeans? If anyone has seen such originals, is that where the NRA tag was on the originals? Seems a very strange place to put it.

But to cut the leg off is abominable.

I agree. I have a pair of Indiana Jones close-enoughs that I found at a thrift store that had that done to them. When I finish letting them back out to the proper length, they'll have a 1/4" hem (or less). :eusa_doh:
