SWEDISH 1930S/1940S MORNING SUIT TROUSERS. SIZE CA EU 54

DESCRIPTION

These trousers are of Swedish origin, likely made sometime during the 1930s or 1940s. They are intended to be worn with a morning jacket and waistcoat, and feature a traditional striped pattern. They are made from a heavy wool fabric. They are designed with a high waist, no front pleats, and the buttons for braces are placed on the outside of the waistband. They have vertical front pockets and a button fly. At the back, they have a fishtail and an adjustable buckle for waist size. There are also two back pockets with piping, one on each side. They lack cuffs. All of these details are typically seen in trousers from even earlier, before the 1920s. However, traditional formal trousers continued to be made in this style for a long time, despite changes in the "general" suit trouser fashion. The slightly wider fit leads us to be fairly confident in the dating.

The condition is generally good, with no damage to the fabric. However, there are a few discolorations toward the bottom of the trouser legs. These are fairly well hidden by the fabric's pattern, and it takes a closer inspection to notice them. The photos accentuate the impression of these discolorations. They do not affect the overall impression. Please take a look at the pictures and form your own opinion about the condition.

SIZE

In size, they correspond to a modern EU 54 (US/UK44). There is some fabric available to let out the waist if needed. Please scroll down for the exact measurements and seam allowances.
