I’ve decided that I could not procrastinate any more..... so the trouser pattern is drafted and cut. I’ve tweaked a couple of features for cosmetic reasons but I’m ready to have a bash now. I think I’m going to a rough check on some cotton fabric before I take the full plunge.
in the meaning here are a few pictures of the pattern so far. I’ve used Valentina to create the pattern using Rory’s formula.
is the hollow of the back and front waistband by 3/8"?

Good one! I've been pondering about adapting the pattern on different fabrics too - albeit later on. I am not sure, if this is a lucky coincidence or not - but Dugdales sent me 2 fabrics. I ordered the Vantage fabric for it, so I reckoned I'd pay 30 quid additionally. So now I can start with the "cheap" fabric (I've gotten some rather posh cashmere this time!) and then the vantage.
If my sanity hasn't left me completely by then, I still have heaps of beige cotton here, for some chino-type trousers.
