Victorian Workwear Trousers – France, c.1880s29" Waist 13" Rise 30" Inseam 39. 5" Length 18. 5 Hip These high waisted wool trousers likely belonged to a tradesman in late 19th century France, made in an era when fit and function were dictated by labor, not leisure. The crisp vertical lines and simple welted pockets show early industrial tailoring, while the deep rise reminds us how much silhouettes have shifted. A rare survivor from a century past.
