I am always on the look out for good vintage reproduction denim because lets face it. Even if you could cough up enough money for an actual pair of vintage dungarees you would be to terrified to wear them in fear of damaging them. Fortunately for the current surge in popularity of vintage style we have amazing brands like Freddie's of Pinewood and Nicole Katherine. I stumbled upon these amazing pants in one of my ebay hunts. I had never heard of the brand but the jeans in the photo looked amazing. They were being sold on ebay by Nicole Katherine because they were irregular and could not be sold as is. I pounced on the opportunity to get another pair of reproduction dungarees at half the price. Nicole Katherine was really pleasant to deal with and I was able to get the jeans in about a week. I got them in a size large and they fit fantastic. I had to shorten the legs quite a bit but it was an easy fix on my sewing machine. If your a short gal like me, under 5'4" and you are considering purchasing a pair keep in mind they will need altering unless you want to roll your cuffs 4 times. They have a very long waist. Very similar to Freddies of Pinewood as they come up just a bit over my natural waist. Remember though, I am short 5"2"
The red stitching is super cute and the front pockets have snaps. The back pockets are super cute and really big and also feature lots or red stitching. These jeans zip up the side and do not have a snap or button closure. The zipper stayed up all day and the denim gave way to a little stretch over the course of the day but did not loosen up more than a half inch. The denim is super thick and stiff with the nicest color. I really love these jeans and will definitely purchase another style from her in the future. I could not find what was irregular about the jeans at all. If I had purchased them from her etsy store as is I never would have known. That leads me to believe that she consistently puts out a really well made product and takes pride in her work.
This is her website www.etsy.com/shop/NicoleKatherine?ref=seller_info I can't recommend these enough!
The next pair that I want to try are these
They are an idigo stretch denim and more 50's style.
