A characterful, timeworn pair of vintage 1930s European (probably German) breeches made from a firmly woven Loden-type of wool fabric in an earthy brown mixture with scattered white & orange flecks & strands. Cut in the classic style with moderately wide thighs, flat front, full-cut seat, button fly, braces buttons, belt loops, side waist buckle adjusters, 2 front welted pockets, front watch or cash pocket & 1 rear flapped pocket, vented at the calf. The buttons are a mix of corozo type & pressed metal embossed 'For Gentlemen' & there are lots of contrasting top-stitching details; no labels present.
Please study the photographs carefully - they form an important part of the description.
