The 229 Sailor Pants by Folkwear are inspired by the iconic trousers worn by WWII Navy seamen as part of the traditional "Crackerjack" uniform. This timeless unisex design combines authentic nautical details with a distinctive high-waisted, wide-leg silhouette.

The pants feature a classic bell-bottom leg, distinctive buttoned broadfall front, adjustable lace-up back gusset, back welt pocket and inner-leg godet. A small hidden coin pocket is neatly incorporated into the front waistband seam.
