Description:
Item: Deadstock 1980s denim jeans by Waist-Watcher USA, produced in a dark indigo stretch denim with original retail tags intact. Full cut, high-rise silhouette with straight-to-gentle flare leg, classic five-pocket construction, and contrast stitching. Unworn and unwashed, retaining factory stiffness and deep, even colour.
Era: 1980s
Brand: Waist-Watcher USA
Condition: Deadstock vintage condition with original tags present. No wear, alterations, or washing. Denim remains crisp and structurally perfect, exactly as it left the factory.
Provenance Note: Deadstock denim from this period is increasingly scarce, particularly with original labels still attached. Waist-Watcher jeans were designed for comfort and longevity rather than trend turnover, and pieces like this were often stored away rather than worn through. This pair survives as a true time capsule example of 1980s American-made denim, untouched and increasingly difficult to replace in this condition.

Condition Notes:
Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.
We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy.
We do not take photos of inside the garment.
Sizing Notes:
Please take the time to measure up yourself and match to the measurements noted, the way you want the item to fit. We are only a micro business and unable to cover the costs of returns.
Buying true vintage clothing:

We are a micro business and sadly cannot cover the cost of returns.
