Scope and content

Trousers with a kilt made from a heavy woollen tweed fabric in brown with flecks of green. Trousers are front fastening via a zip with a black, plastic button at the waistband. On the inside of the fly is a concealed fabric tab with a buttonhole which fastens onto a button on the lining at the opposing side of the opening. Seven loops are found at the waistband to enable a belt to be worn. Large, vertical, welt pockets are found at either side of the waist. A feature is made of each side seam as they are stitched to give the impression of being inside out. At the reverse of the trousers there is a single flap pocket with a black, plastic button fastening on the left side. The kilt section of the trousers begins at the right side of the reverse, where a second back pocket would be. The kilt has box pleats and wraps around the right leg and across the front of the trousers, concealing the fly fastening. It then fastens via two straps attached to the left hip which each thread through a silver buckle which is stitched on a tab at the edge of the kilt. The waistband and front panel of the trousers is lined in a grey, cotton fabric.
