Administrative history
Bukta was founded as E.R. Buck & Sons by Edward Robinson Buck in 1879, Stockport, Greater Manchester. They were making football kit by at least 1884 when the Nottingham Forest team were photographed wearing Bukta. They became a leading producer of tents, camping equipment and uniforms for the Scout movement along with sportswear. The family sold the company in 1982 and in 2005 the label was relaunched.

Scope and content
Shorts in a hard wearing cream / light brown cotton fabric. Shorts are front fastening via a button fly comprising of four metal stud buttons. At the waist, there are five belt loops on the waistband so a belt can be worn. Vertical, in seam pockets are found at waist level on each of the side seams. At the back, there are no back pockets. There is a shaped seam that runs from each side seam to a v shaped point which sits behind the belt loop at the centre of the waistband at the back of the shorts. The bottom of the right leg of the shorts has been cut off and is frayed. The crotch of the shorts have been repaired, with stitching visible.
