DESCRIPTION
These trousers are of Swedish origin, made bespoke in 1937 at Continenten, a tailor based in Stockholm. 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, flat front, and the buttons for braces are placed on the inside 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 overall condition is very good. However, it should be noted that the tab in the fly can no longer be used, as the trousers have been let out at some point. This could of course be adjusted if desired. Please study the photographs carefully and form your own impression of the condition.
SIZE
In terms of size, they correspond approximately to a modern EU 56 (US/UK 46). As previously mentioned, they have been let out at some point, which means there is no additional material available to let out the waist further. Please scroll down for the exact measurements.
