The fly is open as was the custom at the time; LOVELY seam detail at the front and crotch !
Ties on each outer leg.

There are very minor signs of use and wear but these pants are in overall excellent condition, ready to wear ! There are some VERY faint stains from storage which will wash out, but no holes or tears.

Fabulous for dying another color too ! (the natural fiber takes the color well)
