Details about Vintage Mens Fishtail Back Riding Breeches
This is a pair of old fashioned vintage riding breeches. I have listed them as white, but they are actually off white. The label say Birrs, Made in England. 98%Cotton 2% Lycra This makes me think that they are not as old as the style would suggest....but I am no expert. The waist measures 36", but they are high waisted and designed to be worn with button braces, I am a 34" waist and they are only a tiny bit too large for me. They have buttons for braces on the inside, and a high rise back. They have a button fly. The inside leg measurement is 29" They have six button at the bottom of each leg to make them fit tight around the calf and to fit inside a tall riding boot. If I were describing the material, I would say it most closely resembles Moleskin. They have leather/suede patches on the inside leg from about knee level to the bottom cuff, and the bottom cuff is also the same leather / suede material.
