Drawers
Clothing/Dress/Costume
Man's drawers made of white jean with a napped fleece finish on the inside. Drawers are machine stitched (lock stitch) except for hand-overcast seam allowances in the crotch, and hand-finished vent in waist yoke. Slightly shaped waist yoke with two handmade buttonholes in front (buttons missing) and vent with two handmade eyelets in back. The pants legs gathered slightly into the yoke which is about as high in front as the back. The pants leg is cut in one piece so that the seam winds from the crotch to the top of the foot, ending in a vent. Simple hemmed slit opening from waist to crotch in front.
