The fall is welted and held up by buttons and the trowsers were worn with suspenders. Past Patterns 0008 small-fall trowsers were copied from originals in the collections at the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency (now known as The Illinois Historic Preservation Division) in Springfield, Illinois.

We do this with the hope that people will start creating and wearing reproductions instead of antique originals. The clothes we wear and that our grandparents wore are part of our cultural history. Just as you would not abuse antiques furniture by cutting off decorative trim, so you should not abuse antique garments by wearing them. Our second goal is that you pick up a little bit of history when you sew the garment. The fit, the cut, the fasteners, the fabric design, just to mention a few things, are part to the technology of the time. Our third goal, in sewing the patterns, is to spark an interest in genealogy and local history. Researching local history is always a rewarding pursuit. SKU 0008-28-42 Thanks for looking!
