History: THE DONATED DENIM DRAPE PANTS WERE AVAILABLE IN DARK OR FADED BLUE COLOURS AND WAS ACQUIRED VIA MAIL ORDER FROM ON WO TAILORS OF VANCOUVER (11 PENDER STREET W) AT A COST OF $10 TO $12. DETAILED MEASUREMENTS AND THE DESIRED COLOUR WAS COMMUNICATED IN A LETTER AND WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS THE PANTS ARRIVED AT THE DONOR’S DOOR. HE BELIEVES THAT SOME TEN PAIRS OF PANTS WERE BOUGHT FROM ON WO IN THIS MANNER AND HE WAS ALWAYS IMPRESSED AT HOW “RELIABLE” ON WO TAILORS WERE. “EVERYONE HAD THEM, THEY WERE GREAT IN THE WIND AND GALS WORE THEM TOO!” RENO’S PANTS (SEE P20080034003), HE SAID, WERE THE DRESSIER VERSION OF THE TWO, WORN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS TO ATTEND EVENTS INCLUDING “Y” DANCES. ON WO’S DENIM PANT WAS, BY CONTRAST, WORN TO SCHOOL. MYERS WAS CONFIDENT THAT THE DONATED DENIM PANTS WERE ONE OF THE LAST EXAMPLES HE PURCHASED FROM VANCOUVER – AND ONE OF THE LAST MADE BY ON WO – DUE TO THE PANT’S NEW-LIKE CONDITION. THE FASHION WAS SHORT-LIVED IN LETHBRIDGE, LASTING, PER MYERS, ABOUT TWO YEARS. FOR MORE INFORMATION AND DONOR SUPPLIED NARRATIVE, SEE P20080034001, P20080034003, AND PERMANENT RECORD.
