Iconic Lee brand "Jelt Denim" work overalls.

• From the 1940s or 50s, according to Lee company archivists 
  
• Union Made in the USA

Labels: Lee
The company introduced the "Jelt Denim" designation in 1931. I found advertisements for Jelt Denim Overalls from 1931 through 1971. According to the company archivist, this pair is likely from the 1947 model, which was made into the 1950s.

Fiber/Care: 100% cotton denim / washable

Condition: Nearly perfect, very gently broken in, with no signs of wear except that the super-extra-long legs have been cut, leaving a raw edge (which I don't believe is original). The generous hem is turned under and tacked at a 29" inseam. You could let it down to gain up to 3.5" (up to a 32.5" inseam) keeping a small hem, or you could let the raw edge show to add nearly 4" to the length (just shy of a 33" inseam).
