At the back there is one button on either side of the gusset to secure braces. The central back gusset also had two eyelets on either side with cotton tape to adjust the fit. The trousers have tapered legs, with a small vent on the outer seam at the ankle. On the legs, just inside the bottom hems are four metal buttons (two on each side of the ankle) to which is fixed a black elastic boot strap. The pocket bags are of heavy white cotton.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a Royal Naval uniform from 1836, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating such a garment. The trousers, made of white cotton twill with a satin finish, feature metal button fastenings on the fall front and pocket flaps. The tapered legs are adorned with metal buttons for braces and elastic boot straps at the ankles.
The meticulous construction of this uniform is evident in every aspect, from the fob pocket in the waistband to the adjustable back gusset secured with cotton tape. The laundry mark "H. James" adds a personal touch to this historical piece, giving us a glimpse into its past ownership.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this work of art by an unknown 19th-century artist showcases not only the beauty of naval attire but also serves as a reminder of the dedication and discipline required by those who served in Her Majesty's Royal Navy during this period.
As we admire this exquisite uniform through the lens of history, we are transported back to a time when duty and honor were paramount values upheld by those who wore it proudly.
