The difference is evident in the photo on this page - http://shakespearessister.blogspot.com/ ... oject.html - the shirt-from-khakis has a horizontal wrinkle at the base of the zipper. I think this comes from pulling the former inseams together to sew them - when I lay a pair of pants flat on a table, the legs diverge slightly.. if I want to make the legs parallel, I have to lift the crotch slightly to shorten the inseams relative to the sideseams, causing each leg to rotate around the outside hip and forming a bubble of material where the photo shows the wrinkle. The material you would want for the legs to join into a smooth fronted skirt, was cut off before the inseams were originally sewn.
"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the armies of the north, general of the Felix Legions. Loyal servant to the true Emperor...." (said the man in the skirt..)
