 Prepare for the Gold Rush era with our rugged front pocket welt trousers! We're thrilled to present a faithful reproduction of these mid-19th century trousers, favored by gold miners, prospectors, and citizens from the Gold Rush through the Civil War.

Crafted with front-welt pockets—a distinctive feature for the time—these trousers blend functionality with style. They also boast a button fly front and an adjustable belt back, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

Each pair is finished with a standard 32-inch inseam. If you need a shorter length, adjustments will be necessary upon receipt.

Don't miss out on owning a piece of history. Embrace the spirit of the Gold Rush with our front pocket welt trousers today!

Sizing Information: Like all our trousers, these are sized by NATURAL WAIST measurement—your true waist at the navel. Modern jean sizes often include "vanity" inches, so please measure carefully before ordering. For instance, if you wear a size 38 in jeans, your natural waist may measure closer to 40 or 42 inches.

Please allow 6–8 weeks from the time of purchase for completion.

    Delighted with these trouser's. The front pocket placement is practical and aesthetically pleasing. Really the match of an antique example without the musty smell and moth holes! Will definitely buy again with confidence from South Union Mills.

    Knowing enough about sewing to know I really didn't want to put the work into another pair of trousers if I could find a well made pair for a reasonable price, I rolled the dice on these. Whatever score you're looking for you'll roll with these. The fabric looks good and it promises to wear well, too. I thought the front pockets looked a little weird at first, but if you wear these at your natural waist as you should you'll find them well placed. Attractive and practical, I'm very happy with this purchase.
