Are they pre-ripped for millennial convenience?
Cool!
I bet even after all these years its more durable than the crap Levis makes now.
Most old clothing is really small by today’s standards. 44 x 37 - ? ? ?

Those would be for a very large man. Especially rare in 1893 as the average man is not as big as today. I would imagine they did not sell or old Solomon was a very big man.
I wondered where I’d left those.

“House Of The Risin’ Sun”
There is a house down in New Orleans they call the rising sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor girl and me, oh God, I’m one.
My mother was a tailor, she sewed these new blue jeans
My sweetheart was a gambler, Lord, down in New Orleans.
Now the only thing a gambler needs is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time when he’s satisfied is when he’s on a drunk.
He fills his glasses up to the brim and he’ll pass the cards around
And the only pleasure he gets out of life is rambling from town to town.
Oh tell my baby sister not to do what I have done
But shun that house in New Orleans they call the rising sun.
Well with one foot on the platform and the other foot on the train
I’m going back to New Orleans to wear that ball and chain.
I’m going back to New Orleans, my race is almost run.
I’m going back to end my life down in the rising sun.
There is a house in New Orleans they call the rising sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor girl and me, oh God, I’m one.
is it red tab?
Wow!
Six figures for blue jeans? As they say - there’s a sucker born every minute.
People hoarding jeans back then? Lol
37 inch legs? You’re talking 6’ 7” at least maybe more. 6’5” gets you about 34 inch legs. The owner of these jeans could have been about a foot taller than the average American man - wow!
In Philidelphia, they’re worth 50 bucks.
Maybe they were never worn out because nobody else could fit in them?
That is a really odd size.
I am 6’3” and have a 32 inch inseam. I might actually be closer to 31” but that is not a common size.
I was a college hurdler and later learned that the typical or best size for one is 6’ 2” with a 31 inch inseam. That size typically runs perfectly between hurdles without having to over or under stride.
What was a 124-year-old sans pants doing in a cedar chest?
Well??? Low rise, high rise? Button fly? Zipper? Bootcut? Slim fit? Skinny fit? Cropped? Distressed? Acid washed?
