Very worn mauve coloured (due to considerable fading, perhaps brown originally) English moleskin trousers. They are high waisted with a raised curved back panel and four dark brown plastic front buttons and one back button (one missing) attached to the top of the waistband for the attachment of braces. There are two front western pockets with black tab details (both of which have frayed considerably) and no back pockets. The waistband is faced with the same cotton used for the pocket bags. The same black cotton is used to face the hems to provide protection against the friction riding boots would have caused (the cotton is very frayed). The trousers have a long fly front with a five button closure. Both legs have large rectangular knee patches in the same moleskin fabric to repair worn a frayed right knee. They have a small pocket inserted into the right side seam just below hip level with a long accommodating pocket bag that runs down the side of the right leg (for a knife or tool?). The back rise has black tape sewn along the centre of the seam for additional support. All of the black top stitching is poorly manufactured and very uneven across the whole garment.
