Blue cotton breeches shaped to the thigh and close over the knee and upper calf, fastening with laces. The inside of the legs and the seat reinforced with panels of fabric applied with multiple rows of stitching. The top of the garment cut with a flap front fastening with three horn buttons on each side. Set into the front of the flap, two pockets with internal bags set parallel with the fastening panels. Both the front and rear of the waist incorporating pairs of very large darts reducing the waist to tiny proportions. The inside of the front darts acting as the anchor points for an internal waistband of sateened cotton fastening behind the wearer which permits the rear part to be lowered for lavatory purposes without taking the breeches down completely. The rear darts provide anchoring points for a short external strap and buckle for adjustment purposes.
