This prototype is taken from the daily pants of the European immigrants in the 1920-1930s. Most of these trousers lack “YOKE”, that is, there is no triangle stitching cut under the back waist.
The waist of the trousers has buttons that can be used to tie the suspender, and there is an adjustment belt in the middle of the back waist to adjust the waist and hip circumference. It’s also called “Buckleback”.

Really great quality clothing ! Great attention to details like inside lining close to period one
Great fit for a slim chap like me ! Ordered Jacket L and Trousers M
Would recommend getting an extra size for jacket, but trousers and vest fit perfect
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback. We’re thrilled to hear you love them. We also appreciate your note about the length—it’s been shared with our product team for future consideration.
Beautiful pants, are a little tight in the thighs/hips even after consulting sizing guide
A really well made pair of quality trousers that look stunning on.
Fortunately the trousers fit beautifully I only wish that the jacket would fit me as well.
Herrera hopping for a larger size jacket
Awesome pair of trousers, they look great and fill thick and durable. I'm eagerly waiting for the jacket to come back in my size so I can complete the outfit!!!
Initially I thought they were a bit thick material but when worn were really nice and very well made. Not cheap but very good quality and styling, very happy.
I hesitated for a long time before getting these pants. I finally did and they're fantastic. The fabric is heavy, it's like a canvas, which is perfect for a workman's suit. As usual, the fit is small. I wear a US 36 waist, and I had to get the largest size. The older best staff double checks with you to make sure that you've got the right size. That's a great confidence builder.
I was so happy with these pants that I ordered the jacket and vest as well. A really great look all together.
This entire outfit I bought from this site. Keep in mind that these items are for more slim folk. I just barely fit the 2xl sizes. I'm 5'8" with a 36 waist/ 44 chest. 200 lbs. Fair to say, this is as big as these clothes run. This gives Mister Freedom a run for his money, at a working man's budget.
These were a fabulous fit. The personal sizing service helped a lot as different brands vary quite a lot and have their own take on sizes. I wanted these to be a bit lose and the t-shirts to be a slightly snug fit, and that’s exactly what I got after discussing my measurements with the consultant. Perfect fit. I’ve had some difficulties in the past with buying clothing from Asia, but I would definitely recommend using these guys. They seem very conscientious about getting things right.

Thank you for recognizing our customer service! We're so glad to hear that it made a positive impact on your experience. We appreciate your support and hope to continue to exceed your expectations.
Excellent quality. They look like authentic work trousers. Heavy fabric to last for years. Finally order a W36, I'm really happy with the final decision. They are not elastic they fit perfect for me.
I was a bit worried about buying this item as I'd previously purchased from a similar website and received a garment fit only for the trash. When my package arrived, however, I was amazed by the fantastic quality of both the workmanship and
material - just a shame there's no zip fly option!
Fantastic trousers, I am so happy I ordered them.
The material is just phenomenal, it has got a nice weight and it is soft and cool, extremely comfortable against the skin. All the small design details and the quality of the workmanship are just out of this world. Also, it arrived in just 10 days, in proper packaging. Thank you Olderbest! And thank you Angela in Customer Services. You guys are amazing.

I’m very happy with my order, great service and quality products. Looks good too!!
I don't normally leave reviews, but in the case of this suit, French Salt & Pepper Striped Chambray Work Trousers and Jacket ordered from Olderbest, I will. If this review is displayed on the website, it will be in full and unadulterated.
Straight off the bat, I wish to convey unreservedly that this is the finest off-the-peg suit I've ever bought. The quality and construction is absolutely unbelievable for the price, definitely up there with the best Jermyn Street tailoring! I'm not kidding, and this was also echoed by a very experienced and long established South London tailor who had to alter the length of the trousers I ordered.
This leads me to my second point. I ordered XL for the trousers, which fitted perfectly at the waist. However the length was too short, and given the fact that these trousers are also worn with braces, they really need to have a good 2 inches added as standard to allow for turn ups or a full or half break. This aside however, I am satisfied with the product.
The jacket, also of fantastic tailoring quality, ordered as XL, was too small. This meant I had to return to order XXL. This meant I had to return to China, at some considerable cost of return. The replacement fits really well and I'm perfectly happy with both suit and jacket.
This does highlight that while the quality of this suit is excellent, and I would recommend that as a company Olderbest would benefit from being more transparent where goods are being shipped from. The communication from the company was excellent, and I cannot fault their help and I received a replacement very quickly, however the original shipment took several weeks to arrive, and again the company does not pay the postage for replacement, so be aware of this fact when ordering.
Overall, I would order again, but only because I am mindful of sizing, which I think you should overestimate, and I’m aware, also given global difficulties, but it may take a few weeks to arrive, but the quality of their products is absolutely exceptional!
The braces I ordered alongside the larger size jacket are also absolutely fantastic.
Kind regards,
Warren Wade
