Scope and content
Black pinstripe narrow leg wool trousers. The heavy weight wool (worsted?) cloth has been woven with a wide pinstripe in blue alternating with a narrow pinstripe. The trousers have a narrow waistband with button fastening fitting tabs on each side and fasten centre front with two metal clips and a metal 'Lightening' zip. On each side of the zip fly is a small pleat and angled pocket openings. The left rear has a pocket which fastens with a button. The trousers have a very deep bottom hem, possibly they were turn-ups which have been taken down. The waist lining and pocket linings are rayon or viscose and are discoloured with yellow staining. They would have been worn as part of a suit for formal day wear. In pen (faded) on inside pocket lining 'N MAHONY'.
