Is it a woven fabric?
Also do any more learnered xmarkers know what the loops at the top of the waistband are for? I've never seen that in men's underwear, only on outer garments (usually for children) to attach a bodice.
I'm throughly intrigued and excited to learn more.

Hello .

Firstly thank you for taking the time to post . Very good of you. Especially on such a fine looking day ! #turnsuptheheating

With regards to the 'Drawers' there is no fall or bagginess at the front to note. The buttons looks to be sewn onto fabric.
The material matches that of the kilt . I assume is wool . The measure approx 29" waist if I remember rightly - rise 14" - inside seam 9"

I think it be beneficial to all if I upload the kilt . I've teased long enough . I'm sure it will set alarm bells ringing , as to what age we are looking at .

Loving the old catalogue btw . I didn't think to search the forum for previous links . Great detective work there . ' tips hat '

I look forward to further comments . I really appreciate the help on offer.
