Short answer long: they're Warehouse Montgomery Ward's. I got them in 2015 and wore them as my only jeans for a good couple of years until I got the other Warehouse's pictured above, which I ended up deciding were too narrow in the thigh and I moved those on. Subsequently have bought more Warehouse's though. I like Warehouse....
They're a reproduction of these. They were originally released in 1939 by Montgomery Ward, a mail order catalog in the U.S. to celebrate something to do with Texas, hence the star arcuate on the back pockets.
Funnily enough, the guy who is doing the repair owns a store that stocks a shit tonne of vintage Levis and Lee of all shapes and sizes - and charges a pretty penny for them too. Mushroom, the Japanese store linked above, are a client of his. He sends them all sorts of stuff and they sell it on in Japan, and he said that in 25 years of collecting vintage jeans, he's only ever seen one pair of these Montgomery Ward's, and they're the ones I linked to above. He sold them to Mushroom. Small world. He was really excited about working on them. I have very high expectations - ha.
