DESCRIPTION These motorcycle trousers lack a label, but they are likely of Swedish origin, and were probably made sometime in the 1940s or 1950s. This type of trousers was called " balloon trousers" when they were sold as new. They are made of goatskin, with the color best described as a very dark grey-blue, bordering on black. They are high-waisted and feature braces, also made from goatskin. Just below the buttons for the braces, there are belt loops. They have diagonal front pockets with contrasting red piping, which are closed with zippers. Both sides also have zippers to make it easier to get in and out of the trousers. Inside, they are fully lined with heavy cotton fabric. The condition is very good, with no notable damage. Please review the photos and form your own opinion regarding the condition. SIZE In size, they correspond to a modern EU 52 (US/UK 42). The critical point when it comes to this type of trousers is always the width from the knees downwards. This pair measures 19 cm straight across just below the knee reinforcements. At the very bottom of the legs, they measure 14 cm straight across. Please scroll down for the other measurements.
