4 pieces of clothing recovered from the Dement trunk found at the S.S. Central America shipwreck 1.) Fine Men's pants, probably "dress" pants. white cotton twill weave, five button fly, four metal buttons still present. Single button waist closure, single button rear tie, both buttons present, and six evenly spaced waist buttons (suspenders?) Right and left side pockets with buttons, with near right angle cut button down flaps. Watch pocket in waist area outer lining above right pocket. It is notable that these pockets are very small. They are perhaps only for coin. They can only fit my four fingers to the knuckle (FH). Left leg inner lining cuff has detached part of lining. Cant tell if this is original or due to environmental conditions post-1857. Waist about 38", Inseam 32". Generally excellent condition. 2.) Three Hole Men's Collar , good condition, 3 x 15". 3.) Fancy men's patterned shirt similar in part to the star pattern, but with cross hatches. No white or lighter circle around the cross hatches. holes in front for studs only. Overall length 34", sleeve inseam 24"Pleated front. Generally much better condition than most, with much of the original pattern unobscured by staining. 4.) Men's Socks. Measures approximately 9 inches x 3.75 inches from cuff to heel. Approximately 7 inches x 3.75 inches from heel to toe. " British 10.5" printed on toe of sock. .5 inch tread sticking out of cuff of sock. Some degradation otherwise in very good shape.
