Materials Needed

Suitable fabrics: The Worker Trouser works very well in structured heavy to mid weight twills, drills, denims and canvas fabrics. Lighter twills and denims are lovely in the summer and the lighter weight fabrics will give you a slightly looser fit. Before you start check you can easily sew through 5 layers of your chosen fabric. 

Fabric requirements: Our lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage. 

Fabric width 150cm | Sizes XS2 - M = 200cm | Sizes L - XL3 = 230cm 

Fabric width 110cm | Sizes XS2 - M = 220cm | Sizes L - XL3 = 230cm 

Materials list: Self fabric, fabric for pocket bags & binding - a 40cm strip of lightweight cotton (any width of fabric), 4 x big buttons (around 2.5-3cm) or 1 x big button and 15cm zip, thread, about 40cm of good quality fusing

Pages to print: Instructions - 24, A4/US Letter - 37, A0 - 2

Awesome Pattern

Made these. I made the largest size but I'm a big guy so had to add about 2 inches per panel. Turned out awesome. The fit is super comfortable. The workshop made it easy. The inside of these looks super professional. I'm gonna make a bunch now.

Review from a beginner

To summarise, you'll not find a better pattern for someone who's starting out making mens clothing; who wants to make something they'd actually want to wear and understands sewing fundamentals like pressing, stitches and terminology.

I started out sewing with the intent of making my own clothing to buy as little fast fashion items as possible. Unfortunately I quickly found that doing this from scratch with no prior experience is very difficult, especially when it comes to making mens clothing. Collars being my particular Achilles heel.

This pattern has the clearest instructions, and actually matches up (I was shocked to find how common it is for dressmaking patterns to have mistakes) to what you need to be doing. There are videos and photos included for the more advanced bits, and it all actually makes sense.

It's definitely not for absolute beginners, as the pattern itself states. You will need to know the sewing terminology, but that doesn't take long at all to get the hang of. Taking my time with this I'm able to work with very little frustration compared to working from patterns the big companies or even other independent sellers provide. If you're hesitating thinking the price is high for a PDF as I was, you're getting what you pay for. The clarity and time taken in these instructions is far better than anything you'll get from literally any other seller.

I'm still working on these and having a blast, and if the finished product is anything like the toile I made then the fit is better than anything I can find off the rail (having a big butt as a man is a blessing and a curse...). I'll send pictures in when it's done, but yeah. Buy it!
