Good afternoon, everyone, I'm new to this site and recently acquired a pair of vintage striped Men's wool pants. This pair was described as being around the 1920s or 1930s. There's no indication of date anywhere on this garment, but I do believe them to be of pure wool unless I'm mistaken. I was hoping the good people of this site could help me out with dating this pair. Would really appreciate it!

Best Regards,

Dalis Car

These are pants that would have been worn with a morning coat - together they were referred to as a morning suit. Morning suits gained popularity during the 1880s and are still being used for formal occasions today. I've attached a photo of a German morning suit that I own. It's difficult to date pants like these because they didn't change much over time but the feel or density of the fabric would maybe yield the best clue. The button fly is a clue that they are not more recent, and I'd say that 1920s-1930s sounds about right. The suspenders, if original and contemporary to the pants, actually look to be of that era.

Thank you for all of your helpful information! How does the feel or density of the fabric give you a clue about the time they're from?
