1947 Roamer Pant 21oz Indigo: the post-war cut in heavy selvedge denim
The Pike Brothers 1947 Roamer Pant 21oz Indigo combines a post-war cut with the heaviest selvedge denim in the line. These pants echo the proportions of American work jeans from the late 1940s, a pivotal period when the cut was modernized while retaining the ruggedness of workshop styles. The 21oz Japanese denim offers exceptional density and durability.
The 1947 cut falls between the high waist of 30s styles and the mid-rise of 60s styles. The leg is straight with a slight tapered effect, creating a clean and structured silhouette. This proportion was designed for factory workers and mechanics who needed freedom of movement without excessive fabric. Today, it's perfectly suited to riders who want jeans that won't get in the way while in the saddle.
21oz denim is a monster of quality: woven on Japanese shuttle looms and dyed with natural indigo in traditional vats, it boasts a textured, irregular surface that testifies to its handcrafted weave. At this weight, the fabric is initially stiff as cardboard, then gradually molds to your body, becoming incredibly comfortable after a few weeks of wear.
The finishing touches are evident in the fabric: a copper button fly, reinforced rivets, contrasting orange stitching, red selvedge trim, and an engraved leather label. Each pair is a long-term investment that will reward its wearer with spectacular fades and unparalleled comfort.
At Holdfast, an official Pike Brothers retailer, the 1947 Roamer 21oz is for true raw denim enthusiasts who make no compromises on quality.

All measurements are in centimeters — the pants are measured flat.
How to choose the right size
Waist measurement: Measure around your natural waist (above your navel) with a tape measure held flat and loosely. The 1947 cut has a high waist—refer to the front/back yoke for seating comfort.
Leg opening: Hem width measured flat. Useful for determining if your boots will fit over the top.
Length: Available inseam lengths are L32 (81 cm), L34 (86 cm) and L36 (91 cm). Measure from the inseam to the desired ankle.
Biker tip: 21oz denim is stiff at first and will stretch by 1 to 2 cm at the waist after being broken in. Order your exact size; it will adapt to your body shape.
