Knickers Sizing Tip: Knickers fit like modern dress trousers, at the natural waist, and are sized by waist size, in inches. For the perfect fit, measure around your waist and then order the same numbered size.
Short trousers, similar to our Wool Blend Herringbone Tweed Knickers, were all the rage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The perfect way for a town and country chap to suit up comfortably for sporting endeavors such as golf, shooting and croquet. On the complete flip side of the social stratum, you might find a young newsboy or bike messenger tending to business in a pair pulled down over knee socks.
It doesn't matter if you call them knickers, knickerbockers, knee-breeches, or even plus-fours, these shortened trousers always billowed a bit around the knee. This pleated and zip front pair is kept secure with a 1.5" band of elastic at each cuff. Two pockets at the front sides and 2 more button-back pockets on the rear offer plenty of room for a gentleman's carry-abouts. Also, both belt loops and interior suspender buttons are provided.
Made from 25% wool, 40% acrylic, and 35% polyester. Satin lined to the knee for comfort. Imported. Dry clean only. Available in men's sizes 30-52.
