This is the first time I have tried to sell something direct on the Lounge. Previously I have just alerted to my Ebay auctions, but since I have seen several threads regarding this style of breeches, I thought I would throw this up to the Loungers before putting them on auction.
I am not certain of the decade, but I would say no later than the 50's - more likely from the 30's-40's. I have seen illustrations from the 50's in Field and Stream, National Geographic, etc., and also movies where this style of breeches was still being worn by hunters, explorers, and other adventurous types.
These are NOT riding breeches or jodhpurs - there is no reinforcement at the knee, and they are not as blousey in the seat as the riding pants of that day were - they do have a reinforced seat, and are constructed of a material very similar to Filson's tin cloth - a very tightly woven, heavy cotton - the weight is similar to canvas, but the weave/thread count is much finer.
The legs lace instead of button and the fly is a button fly - has side and rear pockets, and a watch pocket. Pockets and inner lining are constructed from a heavy cotton material in a brown glen plaid.
Here is the great thing - the waist size is 39.5, with about an inch to let out. Length is 21" inseam and 36" outseam.
If interested, or if you need more pics, more dimensions, description, etc, PM me. $50 shipped in CONUS. Overseas inquire for shipping price. A couple of days & I will put on auction. Thanks!
