Disneyland Davy Crockett Canoes Costume Cast Member Uniform Pants & Belt - 1985
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:4273994 | Year: 1985 |
Up for auction is the first part of a three part costume set. These are the pants and belt for the Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes costume/uniform for Cast Members working the Canoe ride at Disneyland in the 1980's. This entire costume was found in a plastic bag in a closet of the non-smoking West Coast home of a man who worked at Disneyland a...s a ride operator in the 1980's.
This part of the auction is for the pants and belt. The sizing of the pants is labeled as a "38x32", and that seems about right even by larger 21st century standards. The inseam is a true 32 inches, and the pants fit snugly on a man who normally wears a 38 inch waist. Remember though that these uniforms were designed to be worn by athletic young men in the 20th century, so snugness is assured with these fake buckskin pants.
Speaking of buckskin, there is no label on these pants that identify the material, but they appear to be a polyester version of fake buckskin with a soft and light nap to them. The pants have brown fringe on them from the waist to the ankles on each pantleg, and the fringe is made of a similar fake buckskin material. The only tag we found on these 1980's pants is the very cool vintage "Disneyland - Anaheim, CA - Made in USA" tag on the waistband as shown in the photo, with the size "38x32" written on them in black ink likely by the Disneyland Costuming department back in the 1980's. There is no modern barcode or other tags anywhere on this piece, as these trousers predate the barcodes Disneyland Costuming applied to their uniforms from the late 1990's onward. These trousers appear lightly used with some light wear, but they are still in very good condition. When worn they present as fresh and clean.
The dark brown leather belt was found rolled up inside the pant leg of these Disneyland trousers, and the only identifier on the belt was the imprinted "Imported Italian Leather" as seen in the photo. The belt has no sizing information on it, but appears to be approximately a size 38 inch belt that fits nicely within the belt loops of the trousers.
