Breeches

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a pair of white breeches. The breeches are made of a thick, off-white material, possibly leather. They have a wide waistband with five buttons on the front and a drawstring tie. The waistband is turned inside out at the top, showing a tan-colored interior. There are two small metal rings on each leg, just above the bottom hem. The background of the image is black. The breeches are hanging from a small loop or string at the top. The overall style suggests historic or vintage clothing, specifically Breeches by an unknown artist.
