Carolyn, I have a pair of trousers from the first quarter 19th C and they are constructed pretty much the same as the LongFall of the ...Eagle pattern that included knickers. The two major differences are the width of the waist band and the back omits the capacious seat and gusset. No pockets, but the from is cut full enough to accommodate them. There are buttons for straps or suspenders. Basically, the naval trou still being used through the 1940's. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn Kayta Barrows" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2006 6:02 AM Subject: [h-cost] fall front trousers, etc.
