G2006.114Description
Entirely hand-stitched trousers for a very tall man made of thin blue-striped seersucker gingham. Buttons are 4-hole bones. Narrow waistband, 3-button closure. Watch pocket, no side pockets but one angled, and curved slit pocket over the proper left back hip. Closes with a small self-covered button. 2 brace buttons in the back, and 4 in front. 2 smaller buttons close the waist at the center front but they are set on the inside. Pointed strap with brass buckle over gusset in the center back. Waist faced with fine white linen. Rather straight legs, only slightly shapely at the foot. 2 seams, and the side one swings well toward the front. No evidence of straps underfoot although there is a rough cut edge on the hem where a strap could have been cut off. No remains of anything on the corresponding side of the hem. Narrow hem secured with a thin white cotton tape. The very bottom edge of the hem is neatened with a row of back stitches. The hole appears calculated to present a sleek appearance.Collection
