Black, pleated wool pants worn by dancer and singer Jermaine Stewart on Soul Train as part of a costume ensemble with a grey shirt (NMAAHC 2022.37.1). The black pants have front pleats, belt loops, and front hip pockets. There are two back double welt pockets with black plastic button closures, though the proper left pocket is missing its button. The front of the pants features four closures: a black plastic button with a buttonhole on the waistband, a clear button with a buttonhole inside of the pants, a black zipper, and a silver-colored metal hook and bar fastener. There is a white tag with black text sewn into the front of the pants. It reads [30W 30L / F917 / 100% WOOL / MADE IN COLOMBIA] followed by a series of letters and number. The text reads [DRY CLEAN ONLY] at the bottom.
