W. T. Grant was one of the largest chain stores in the United States and apparently also produced and sold clothing. Here are the company's jeans in a light ounce fabric. There is no flasher or other material attached, but the use of a cam-lock zipper suggests that it was produced in the late 1950s-1960s. W. T. Grant is described in detail in Wikipedia.
It's thick, straight and barely tapered.
inner tag
Embroidered tag attached below the waist belt on the back right." Is "GRANTS" a brand name?
patch
A PVC patch attached to the right back. It's pretty thin compared to the Wrangler's PVC patch. There is no ○R in the trademark registration.
back pocket
Slightly vertical back pocket with simple two-line stitching.
top button
Based on the waist size, it seems to be for adults, but it uses snap buttons." It is engraved with "GRANTS CIRCLE".
zipper
Commer's double-timed zippers are used.
rivet
The shape is similar to that used on LEE jeans, but without the branding. The reaction of the magnet suggests that it is made of copper-plated iron.
belt loop
Only the later center belt loop is thicker. Each corner is attached with a bar tack like a normal belt loop.
outseam
selvedges are used, but one of them is green and blue, while the other has an unusual specification of uncut fabric that is hardened with a kind of glue.
fabric
Although it's 3×1, the fabric is clearly a light ounce. The dye is relatively deep, but slightly bluish. There is not much of a slubby feel, but the nips and weave scratches are noticeable.
