🔹 Research Notes

---I have seen pairs of pants with the same tag listed as if "Mitin Antimite Définitif" was the manufacturer or the model name. That's a misunderstanding Mitin was a mothproofing treatment and "Mitin Antimite Définiti" roughly translates to Mitin Permanent Moth Protection." The tag does help us, however, as Mitin treatment was less common after the early part of the 1950s
---I'm saying early 1950s on these because to my eye they appear to be made in the transition period between World War II and the cold war. The reinforced seat is more 1940s than 1950s, but things like the suspender buttons look more like 1950s changes.
