My Uncle's Trousers

















I like making trousers, love the detailing on tailored trousers. I remember my uncle had a very cool one. So I decided to re-produce it. I kept all the details and craftsmanship of the trousers. Inside centre back seam and out side seams finished with black binding. Saddle stitches on waistband, pocket entries and fly. Blind catch stitch for the hems. Nevertheless, I added some red hand stitching details on back pocket flaps and center front buckle to make it more interesting.
