<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 8230736, member: 5398&quot;]I&#039;m trying to determine if this pair of Lee striped sail cloth pants/trousers are from the 1940s or later (the buttons on the fly closure are glass). I read that the company dropped &quot;Mercentile&quot; from its name in 1943 and changed to just H.D. Lee Company, Inc., so these pants wouldn&#039;t be any earlier than that. The stripe fabric is similar to their bib overalls and coveralls, but the pants have two stripes and a space, while the stripes on the overalls and coveralls are evenly spaced.</p><p><br /></p><p>I haven&#039;t found another pair like them and have done the usual eBay and Google searches, also a Google image search of the various labels, a Lee website search and a live chat this morning, (they couldn&#039;t help, but said they&#039;d send an email to others in the company and get back to me). I also sent an inquiry on Heddels website (which I just stumbled across), but haven&#039;t heard back yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I thought I&#039;d post some photos here and see if anyone is familiar with this style of Lee sail cloth trousers and may know when they were made. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]426154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]426157[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
