1940s Thoroughbred Britches Medium

Vintage 1940s equestrian riding pants by Meyer's Brothers Sportswear, Lexington, KY, "Home of the Thoroughbred." These Kentucky equestrian pants are full-length riding pants designed for saddle seat riding. The overall look suggests a rider with a longer leg and heel lower than the toe, the desired equitation standard for this riding style. The pants are reinforced with fabric to protect the inner calf and knee from rubbing.

Slenderizing, continuous waistband; gabardine. Two front inset slit pockets. Belt loops. Light blonde / tan / khaki color. The left side of the talon metal zipper and a vegetable ivory button closure at the waistband. Stained from genuine ranch and riding wear. A tailor altered the sartorial split waistband and let it out later.
