Those trousers seem to have a lower waist than the norm for the 1930s-1950s, or it might just be the illustrations.

bizarre I was just thinking the exact same thing! just goes to show that even back then there was no universal standard.

It's workwear - maybe even back in 1921 Canadian workmen like to show a bit of 'builder's bum'.

I think it could just be a way of showing more of the shirts...

I've noticed from photos and films, 1920s trousers are noticeably lower waisted than 1930s-1940s trousers.

It's a very fine herringbone.
That fisher stripe. I have found a few things over the years, none of which fit. Good find
One of those rustic European grey-striped work pants. Here German, certainly 30's (straight wide legs).
No belt-loops, side/back straps or buttons for suspenders, but this curious front-buckle construction with snap-button to attach it to the button-fly. Ever seen one like this?

I like the pullover zip shirts. Should have bought the one you sold not long ago. Time for a repro.
