Typical black wool with flared hips and narrow calves. Buttoned fly at front and slash pockets at sides, buttoned rear pocket. Has black composition buttons around the waist area for suspenders. Calves too have black composition buttons. One period replaced button at waist, one black button at fly is missing. Shows overall typical wear and age from use and a couple of moth bites to wool on the seat. Inside has the correct partial cotton fabric lining. Nothing on the lining glows under a black light. EXC

When testing for the presence of optical brighteners be sure to use a piece of white copy paper as a control. The white paper will glow like the lights of Hong Kong while the fabric will reflect a light purple cast. Big difference between the two; don't confuse them.
