Again, if you read my post, I say exactly what it is. IT'S a White SOX 1919-1925 GAME USED PANTS. I ALSO STATE THAT "SCHALK" WAS PENNED SOMETIME AFTER 1925.

What i'm also saying is that they are rare - I can't seem to find another pair with the Great Western Label either a White Sox, College or High School team uniform. I'm trying to find information on these White Sox Style pants and why there is not another sample out there????The collector I purchased them from purchased them in the 1980's and was told that they were White Sox Pants. Either Way a Rare pair of baseball uniform pants with a Rare label from 1919-1925.

I'm confused. In one post you say they are White Sox style pants and in another you say they are White Sox game used pants. Which are they, because, I'm not sure you have shown the evidence that links them definitely to the White Sox or pro baseball specific game use?

According to the HOF Dressed to the Nines database, which was compiled by Marc Okkonen, the White Sox wore striped pants 1914 -1917, 1919, and 1920. No other pinstriped uniform were used during the rest of the years from 1915 through 1930. Also, there is no mention of the blue-purplish stripe down the leg like in your example. I also don't see it in the picture you posted, but they are a bit far away to tell for sure.

Here is the link to the Chicago WS uniform from 1910 to 1930.

Hope that helps your research. I would love to see if you have any provenance that definitely links the pants to the White Sox. Please show it if you do.

You have a possible style match of Sox pants from that era. You're going to need more than someone's word that the pants came from the Sox. Any local Chicago area team could have ordered those back in the day.

The bottom left hand corner of this 1919 Tribune ad shows that the Thomas E Wilson & Co. sold uniforms to anyone .

When dating or trying to establish a possible range for pants, you may want to pay attention to how the belt loops are affixed; both as a function of number and location. For example do the pants in the image that you are comparing yours to with feature:

1. A certain number of loops and then larger tunnels on the side or back.
2. A loop located in the center of where the pants are joined at the button line.
3. A pair of loops close to the center, then spaced loops with out tunnels.

My point in all this pants have physical traits that have changed over time just as can be found on jerseys. These can also vary my manufacturer as well.

Jeez Louise...did this guy find the supplier for Coach's Corner?

If your c1910-20 uniform pants have a hall of famer's name magic markered into them, you have been had.

Interesting alteration on each leg around the knee area. Professional quality tailoring?

[Dave Grob]

I think if you compare the fabric of your pants with known period major quality examples as well as fabric sample catalogs, you will find this fabric to be of a lesser quality. Once of the ways you can assess this, even without physically examining the fabric is through the weave. In this case it becomes much easier since these feature a pinstripe.
