Einstein isn't wearing jeans there is he? It looks like he might be, but I assume 1952 was much too early for that.

The photograph has been artificially colourized. Original here: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/26078/lot/22/

This is why I despise artificial coloration.

Its fine as a filter I can privately turn on to delude myself. But when the pictures spread it reinforced our modern biases in the past

What makes you think it's denim? I would say it looks quite similar to the trousers the others are wearing (especially the ones of Whitney Oates).

Solely going by the timeline described in [0] it's rather unlikely that these are denim.

Probably some form of cloth pants. Stylish though, definitely works with that haircut.
