The pants have pockets on both sides, an elasticated waist, with ties around the waist and ankles. The top has a pocket on the left side. The model in the photo is 179cm tall and wearing an X-Large size. Samue have been worn as work clothes by artists, potters, priests and sculptors for centuries. These days they are very popular as comfortable everyday wear.
