OK, not "my" pants, J's pants. And technically they're early period breeches.
Made from the Reconstructing History pattern. 100% wool, left over from L's mantua. The buttons are cheap silver colored ones I picked up at the fabric store. I still haven't found the right metal buttons that also don't cost an arm and a leg. I ended up finishing the fly opening without the flap, same on the legs. I also did the early style binding on the leg hems in place of a traditional hem. They look pretty good, although J could gain about 20 lbs and they would probably fit better. Still I wasn't willing to make a 32!
