DescriptionSmall boy's pants of white linen. The pants are gathered into the 7/8-inch-wide waistband. They open along the sides for about seven inches, and fasten with mother of pearl buttons on the waistband and half-way up the opening. A pair of linen tape suspenders are stitched to the waistband in front and button to the waistband in back. Two diagonal pockets appear on the front of the pants, but only the proper right pocket is functional. The crotch seam is open at the lower front in place of a fly.
