Boot cut from the Saddleman series. The degree of blend is the same as the March 1981 one, 64% cotton and 36% polyester, but this one is a rigid dark blue with a different flasher design. The flasher also has the notation "DURA PLUS", referring to the fabric used in flared jeans from the 1970s.
the other 716, the color difference is evident. It is the same without a guaranty ticket.
Boot cut with not much degree of flare.
paper patch
The composition indication above the part number and the word "STUDENT" to the right of it. The tear-off tab remains.
flasher
"RINCED DENIM" is written on it, and we can see that it has been washed. In addition, "THE STRONGEST INDIGO DENIM WE'VE EVER MADE" and "FADE NATURALLY + FEW WRINKLES" are stated.
inner tag
There is no mention of shrinkage on this 716 either, although the washing method and size are listed.
inner tag
From the number "681," we can infer that it was manufactured in June 1981." The "83" matches the number on the back of the top button, so it may be a factory number.
back pocket
Slightly vertical back pocket. The arcuate stitch is very well shaped.
orange tab
Small E double-sided print tabs. Unequal "v"
top button
This is a copper-plated iron button, no different from the one used on the 505 and others. The parallel stitching next to the top button is the same color as the fabric.
zipper
Talon 42 has been used.
トtop button (back)
The engraving on the back of the button is "83".
rivet
Orange tab, but riveted. Copper-plated iron rivets. The coin pocket reinforcement is riveted and bar tack.
rivet (back)
made of aluminum
outseam
It has been cleaned up with a lock sewing machine. Single stitching at the hem.
fabric
The fabric has a firm and taut feel. There was almost no sense of slabbing, suggesting that the yarn had become more homogenized. However, there are vertical lines in some places, which may appear as the color fades.
