FS: Houndstooth wool flannel trousers, W36, heavyweight

[Nick D]

This is a pair of wool pants hand tailored from a 1940s sewing pattern. The fabric is original vintage wool flannel from the personal stock of a retired tailor, and is heavyweight, 22 oz. per yard! This weight makes the trousers drape the way that vintage fabric does but modern lightweight fabric cannot. The trousers are high waisted with wide legs, cuffs, and twin English (forward-facing) pleats. There is a small watch pocket and a single rear pocket with a flap. The fly has a curved metal zipper specially made for vintage trouser flies, two hooks and a button. Both the fly and the side pockets were finished with an invisible pick stitch. Belt loops and internal brace buttons. The lining is a traditional striped fabric with a short curtain. The trousers are in excellent condition, having rarely been worn.

Asking $85 OBO, plus shipping ($8 in the US, outside the US PM me for a total)

Nick any room to let the waist out? I need a 38.

Thanks!

 

[Nick D]

Chasseur, there's enough to let out to 37", but not quite enough for 38" I think.

 

[Bassman]

Do you have an inseam measurement? Did I miss it?

 

[Nick D]

You didn't miss it, I forgot to post it! The inseam is 29.5"

 

[Bassman]

Drat! Thank you.

If only they were a bit longer. I wear a 36 inch waist, but my inseam is 34 inches. They are beautiful trousers and I would have worn them with pride.

My size. Great trousers.

 

[Tomasso]

Sweet trousers!

And at treble the price you'd get drek today.

 

[Nick D]

Still for sale!

The legs could be let down about 1" without losing the cuffs.
