DescriptionMan's heather gray twill-woven wool shorts. The front of the shorts are pleated into the waistband. A self-fabric belt, stitched at the sides, crosses the front and buckles over the top of the fly. A metal zipper closes the fly. Two in-seam pockets are in front, and two welted pockets are in back. The left back pocket has a button closure. A strip of elastic is inserted across the back of the waistband; the elastic exits the waistband near the sides and fastens to a choice of two snaps to adjust the fit. The back of the belt is lined with brown vinyl. The waistband lining and pocket bags are made of white twill-woven cotton.
