A.J. Miller, the painter of the 1837 Rendezvous, depicted a variety of cloth and buckskin pants and 'pantaloons". Some were drop-front, some button fly. Belts were common, but so were single or double suspenders or "galluses". Many pants had a underfoot strap to keep them from riding up when on horseback.
The accompanying photo shows my own pants of commercial buckskin roughened on the grain (smooth) side to look like traditional brain-tan. They are button-fly with antler buttons. The waist band has a small amount of lace adjustment at the back. The legs are fringed. Either antler suspender buttons or belt loops are available at no extra cost. If you want the underfoot strap, I'll add it at no cost. I have leather suspenders available at additional cost. I don't have historical evidence of pockets, but we can talk about it.
These pants are entirely consistent with the variety of styles and materials we know were worn that summer of 1837 on the Green River at Horse Creek. You may want to add some dirt, grease, and smoke.
You might want to order hem a little large. I wear a 34 but made my pants a 36: it gives me more freedom of movement and lets me tuck in an extra-heavy shirt. (And gives me "growing room!")
Sizing 30-42. Contact me for sizing info. and to discuss material choices. If you order pants and a shirt, I will match the buckskin and there will be a big savings on shipping. $350 and up.
