Scope and content
Red tartan trousers with two detachable kilt 'loin cloths' and narrow straps that fasten around the legs. One of the kilt panels is a half skirt, the other is made up of two pieces of fabric that part in the centre. These are attached to the trousers at the waistband side seams with silver metal D rings and clasps. The fly has a zip closure that runs from the front all the way up to the back seam. They have slanted front patch pockets and two curved back patch pockets with box pleats. There are buckled straps around both knees that connect both legs and are held in place with loops sewn onto the front and back of the knees. They are a narrow cut with zips sewn into the back legs, one at the hem and one along the thigh to allow the size of the legs to be adjustable. They have five wide belt loops and a belt made of wide black polyester webbing finished with tartan at both ends and a silver slider. The trousers are unlined.
