Trousers

1865 · linen · Costume Institute

A quintessential pant from the period, this well made boy’s pants incorporate pleating at the front and the back, causing a fuller look around the hips. The pants are in excellent condition and to have a pair of white boy's pants from the later part of the nineteenth century is to be valued.
