| Object history | The label inside these trousers suggests that the inteded front was the buckle side as opposed to the pockets side. The label is attached at the same side as the pockets. However, the shape of the garment suggests that the trousers were worn the other way around, which is how they have been photographed. |
| Production | Trousers first designed about 1955 and continued in production until around 1965 |
