This pattern is a typical example of designer Marcy Tilton’s quirky-cool aesthetic. These pants were a popular forerunner to today’s barrel legs, even though many reviewers grumbled that the pattern was extremely oversized and required lots of adjustments to get them to fit. I also had to size down two sizes. They feature a flat front and elasticated back waistband, really cool, deep pockets at the hip, and darts at the outer knee. I made these from a mid-weight striped cotton twill. I was obsessed with this pattern but gave up before I really got it to work for me and switched over to the much easier-to-make Style Arc Bob pants, but I need to give these another go because the architectural details on these are really top notch. Despite the grumbling, Vogue still sells the pattern so it must have its fair share of fans. Maybe I’ll get back to this one this winter.
