The suit had straight-leg kneepants. It has a button flap and three large buttons at the leg hem. In America these straight leg kneepoants were more popular than knickers for sailor suits. I'm not sure about the pocket arrangements. There seem to be two slash pockers on the dront and a one horizontal ppcket on the back. There seem to be some cords in the inside waistband. I'm not sure what purpose they served.
