Preview of Durango Vintage Festivus Auction Lot 0109: 1920s Waist Overalls by Walton N. Moore Dry Goods Company Previously owned by the esteemed Italian designer Maurizio Donadi, these W.N. Moore jeans are a remarkable addition to any early American workwear collection. They surpass the definition of classic 5-pocket jeans with their unique features. Are you looking for suspender buttons? They're present. How about a buckleback? It's there too. And let's not overlook the exceptional design, exemplified by the non-riveted watch pocket with its beautifully curved opening. The astonishing sun fades only enhance the allure of this masterpiece. Simply labeling it as "vintage" wouldn't do it justice. The Walton N. Moore Dry Goods Company, based in San Francisco, was incorporated in 1917 (see slide 5). Not only was it an exclusive distributor of the renowned Hanes underwear, but it also manufactured work clothing. Over the years, it acquired significant firms in the region, including Murphy, Grant & Co., the maker of the Nonpareil Brand overalls. In 1930, it was absorbed by Ely & Walker but continued operating under the same name until 1956. #waltonnmooredrygoods #wnmoore #1920sdenim #vintagedenim #minerdenim #supervintage #bucklebackdenim #bucklebackjeans #vintageworkwear #waltonmoore #elywalker #neustadterbrothers #durangovintagefestivus #denimseeker
