The Orel pants pattern is a very comfortable pants pattern with wide legs and elastic at the back of the waist.
The wide waistband and the play of pockets/pleats at the front give it style and elegance…
DETAIL
- Wide waistband at the front and pleats for style
- 2 hidden pockets in a clip for a surprising construction
- Elastic waistband at the back for comfort!
SIZES:
The Orel pants pattern ranges from size 34 to 52.
Since the pants have no zipper, your hip circumference (or the widest part of your body) must fit through the waistband of the pants.
Compare your hip circumference with the measurements in the size chart below to determine which size fits you.
The waistband (and even the finished measurements) will be slightly smaller than your hip circumference since about 5cm of negative ease is allowed.
Find more details on choosing your size in the blog post as well as in the assembly guide.
HEIGHT:
The pattern is available in 3 heights: 1.60m / 1.65m / 1.76m
The pattern’s version in 3 different heights should help you limit adjustments to the pants, especially around the crotch.
For height, In theory, if you measure:
● Between 1.56m and 1.63m, choose the height: 1.60m
● Between 1.64m and 1.71m, choose the height: 1.68m
● Between 1.72m and 1.80m, choose the height: 1.76m
But you know yourself best! You may have long legs and a short torso or vice versa. So it’s always best to check if the leg length suits you. The finished measurements of the Orel pants are given just below.
Also note that the pant leg length is designed to fall just above the foot, slightly breaking over the shoe.
