Description - White satin athletic shorts with blue stripes on the sides and hem that I believe are from the 40s.  I'm not sure what sport these were used for but I'm thinking maybe basketball or boxing. They have an elastic waist with an attached belt in the front that has a metal buckle. There are pads on both hips. These pads could be cut out without ruining the shorts if you do not want them.
