The pant legs are very wide, forming a full half-circle when laid flat. The culottes have two (2) pockets, one at each hip, lined with a gray fabric. The culottes fasten with a brown metal zipper at center back and one (1) plastic tortoiseshell button fastener at the center waistband. The culottes are unlined, and are machine-sewn.
