The cut
The pattern is graded from a 1950s French work trouser we cut apart. We kept the rise and the width and lost the pleats.
How it is put together
- Single-needle side seams, felled and topstitched at 6 mm.
- Unfused waistband, interlined with woven cotton canvas so it softens rather than bubbles.
- A two-piece back rise, which costs an extra operation and keeps the seat clean.
- Bar-tacked at both pocket mouths and at the fly.
- Pocket bags in the same twill as the trouser, not in lining cloth.
- Buttonholes worked on a keyhole machine; the button is corozo, not resin.
