Description

Entirely hand-stitched trousers made of heavily felted and napped wool, speculated to be cassimere (can’t even detect a weave structure). Wide fall with 4 buttonholes, 3 buttons on closure, 4 total for braces- appear to be painted wood or a composition. Deep-angled welt pockets, welted watch pocket. No gusset or strap in back. Straight back waist edge. The seat has small squared pieces in the back. Narrow legs with straight hems, no sign of foot straps. Faced with a white drill. Topstitching and general work are rather coarse. Appear to be ready-to-wear or from a less gifted tailor.
