Scope and content
Tailored suit trousers in a dark blue woollen fabric. Trousers are front fastening via a zip fly and a double hook and eye fastening at the waist. There is a concealed tab and button inside the waistband which can be fastened for added security. There are also eight loops at the waist which enable a belt to be worn. There are angled pockets at either side of the waist and two jetted pockets at the back, one of which has a button closure. The trousers are unlined but have Christian Dior written in a repeating pattern around the inside.
