Entirely hand-stitched pants made of plaid or cross-check of grouped tan pinstripes in cotton warp MID, and wider blue ramie MID cross stripes. Speculated to be an Indian or perhaps Chinese import fabric. Long, narrow legs. Fairly high rise, with no evidence of straps. Wide fall with angled welt pockets in flaps beneath. Curved watch pocket. Bone buttons. Points in the back for braces. One small strap for buckle, the other seems not to have existed. No evidence of the use of laces.
