Fabric Suggestions The original trowser that we used to create this package was colored dark navy blue ground with a horizontal robin's egg blue stripe spaced 2" apart and dark sky blue vertical stripe spaced 1-1/2" and 3/4" apart. The fabric is a wool tricot. For substitute fabrics we suggest bottom weight, plain woven wool or broadcloth, in solid colors or heather, even or uneven stripe, plaid or check. Twill weaves such as basket and herringbone are also appropriate. Do not purchase worsted. It does not shrink easily. Below is a seated figure with the fabric colors highlighted. Notice that the plaid does not match on the inseam of either figure. Regarding notions, on the original, the lining and facing fabric was a heavily glazed tightly woven dark brown cotton. The pocketing was a bottom weight tightly woven medium weight white plain weave cotton. The canvas facing was a medium weight tightly woven unbleached plain weave linen. If using 45" wide fabric cut - use 3/8 Yds for Lining, use 1/2 Yds for Pocketing. For the Linen canvas, use 5/8 Yds for waist sizes 28"-42" and 7/8 Yds for waist sizes 44"-52" On the original garment, the foot straps appeared to be 1/6th thick Japanned cow hide leather.

We do this with the hope that people will start creating and wearing reproductions instead of antique originals. The clothes we wear and that our grandparents wore are part of our cultural history. Just as you would not abuse antiques furniture by cutting off decorative trim, so you should not abuse antique garments by wearing them. Our second goal is that you pick up a little bit of history when you sew the garment. The fit, the cut, the fasteners, the fabric design, just to mention a few things, are part to the technology of the time. Our third goal, in sewing the patterns, is to spark an interest in genealogy and local history. Researching local history is always a rewarding pursuit. SKU 0016-44-52 Thanks for looking!
