Clothing/Dress/Costume

Entirely hand-stitched pants made of buff cotton. Seems to be Nankeen. Wide fall covering 4-button closure with an angled pocket welt on either side. Watch pocket. Stamped or cast brass ‘work’ buttons for suspenders as well as for fall. Pairs of small bone buttons to receive an under-foot strap. Back strap and heavy brass belt buckle in the back. Rather straight legs and high waist.
