No signs of wear on these at all I think they’ve just been stored for 40 years. Very very rare in this condition with a stretchy waistband meaning will fit anyone from a 30 on down. Made in UK and has a thicker more lustrous fabric than the German made equivalent. From the early 80s and impossible to get like this it seems these days as most I see have shot waistbands and fraying but no such issues with these. Has cotton lining
