Description
Unworn with their original tags, this pair of royal blue rayon gabardine late 1940s or early 1950s deadstock men’s trousers are the perfect rockabilly-style pant! The high-waisted pant will fit approximately a 36-inch waist. The pant features a no-waistband, Hollywood style waist with dropped belt loops, a pleated front with 2 side seam pockets, and 2 back pockets, one of which closes with a button. The pant is unlined except at the waistband, fly, and pockets, where it is lined with white cotton that has yellowed a bit from age. Inside the waistband are 3 rows of rubberized stitching, to help keep your shirt tucked in when worn. These never worn trousers are as yet un-hemmed, so they have a hard-to-find, extra long inseam that will be great for a taller person! The pant fastens with a metal zip fly and a hidden button at the waist. Although they are unworn, I had these true vintage 1950s trousers dry-cleaned for freshness after their long storage. Please note: although labeled a waist size 38 on the attached paper tag, the pant actually measures to a 37-inch waist, laid flat. This deadstock, dark blue rayon gab 1940s or early 1950s men’s pant is in very condition, unworn with its original tags. They look great, but there is one very tiny light mark on the back left, near the pocket opening (see close-up photo), and the aforementioned, slightly yellowed lining fabric (not seen when worn). They will of course need to be hemmed, cuffed or uncuffed, before wearing.
