The search is over! I can finally rest great find man, Iāve always considered sears to be a possibility but the snap collar and slightly rounded chest pockets on most pairs gave me doubts. The color looks spot on too, at least to my eyes.
You Sir just made my fucking day. THAT is an AMAZING match. I can only hope I can find the same pair in my size iām a 40R but Iām not sure where I come to in those sizes (Tall?) Iām 5ā10ft Around Nick Castleās height.
And 100% agreed with aboveā¦I love my Big Macās but the pocket flap and herring bone pattern has bothered me for so long. So were these Spruce Green? Thatās an assumption Iāve always thought the H1ās may have been. Your colour looks dead on. Fucking wow though, i think that must be themā¦
I canāt even seem to find photographs of another pair of Sears Tradewear coveralls. These must be supremely rare! No wonder we havenāt been able to find them for decades.
Weāll have to look out for each other finding more. At least we know what they are now thatās a big help LOL.
I did however find a similar pair in Navy, and they seem to be a brand from the 60ās not 50sā¦havenāt found any in Charcoal or Spruce Green yetā¦
Good luck on the search yaāll and be patient. Hopefully some more pairs will pop up. Btw I donāt think Iāll be able to take pictures this weekend, the weather isnāt how Iād like it to be at the moment, but if it suddenly changes iāll get some on here asap. Also just to clear up, Iām pretty sure these are spruce green, they have a bluish greenish color and change color in different lighting.
No worries. Weather isnāt so great over here in the UK either lol. And for sure. Like I said, we have to help each other find these. I need a 40R, In Spruce, iām 5ā10 around Nick Castleās height. Until I find a pair that meets those specs for me, my Olivewood Big Macās I weathered will have to do for now. I reckon If i did the same treatment to the SEARS Tradewear i think weād have a convincing screen used pair! Iād be willing to offer weathering services to people if they wanted. I think it be a fun job! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yroy865Syw
I recently picked up this pair of Montgomery Wards. I donāt know what the color is called but it looks like the right color to me. This pair has the hammer loop. I just sent them to a friend who is going to re-attach the hammer loop and square off the pocket flap. Until I find a set of the Sears in this thread the MWās will have to do.
The Mongomerys look good enough, you should just try to remake the pocket to be square.
Here are some new pictures I took, it finally stopped raining for once. I tried to recreate some shots as good as I could. I took these on my cellphone. The color looks off in some pictures, I feel like it could partly be because theyāre still new and partly because my phone kept automatically changing settings and they look too bright. They looked spruce green then greenish gray and gray in certain pictures. Once I get around to washing them Iāll retake these and post them if theyāre better.
