The latest trend! Nordstrom selling flimsy new ones for over $250! These are sturdy wool twill DARK navy blue ( almost black) vintage 40's gabardine ski pants with flattering high waistline & the best tailored fit. I had to lighten the pictures considerably so you could see the details. These are close to black. Great Rockabilly winter wear with cowboy boots. Honestly, you'll wear them all winter long, like I used to when I lived in the snow belt! Back in the 80's when pegged pants were the rage, I collected five pairs of these pants & wore them every day in the cold Buffalo winters. They are the warmest, with silk or other leotards, & you will love the zippered pockets! This pair has an inner elastic waist band, which will keep your shirts from slipping out, but the elastic is brittle in places, & a good tailor could put in a fresh one. The embroidered label reads: "Authentic SUN VALLEY Ski wear...100% evirdri water repellant". These beautifully tailored pants have 2 zippered pockets, & the main zipper is on the side. Very good condition! No spots. no snags, very little wear. A few mends & very small holes that have been mended are pictured. These could be redone with more care, if you find them unsightly. Looks like these were let out at the waist & shortened with new elastic added. Fabulous medium-weight cadet black gabardine fabric; unlined Amazing, zippered welt pockets in the front & back with brass metal chain zip pulls. Side metal zipper with button at top. Pockets are shorter, & have been mended in places. Again, you could put in new pockets with a readily available kit. Measurements taken with garment laid flat. Measurements are then doubled where appropriate. Waist 26" with NO extra fabric. Hips 44" Overall Length outer leg 40" ( not including stirrup) Rare 1930S-50S Sun Valley Gabardine Womans Ski Pants/stirrup S Evirdri Water Repellant Dark Navy Blue Side Metal Zip
