Ruby pants (boy)
Ruby is a pair of semi-fitted pants tapered towards the hem. The top edge of the waistband sits on the natural waistline. The waistband is elasticated at the back and the sides, the elastic reaching the front belt loops. Each of the front legs features two stitched-down pleats lined up with the wide belt loops. There are three narrower belt loops at the back waistband, next to the side seams and at the crotch seam. The front features slash pockets. The pants fasten with a fly front zipper, while the waistband has a button and buttonhole closure. The pants are ankle length.

To sew these pants, choose woven suiting fabrics with the following properties:
- Medium weight, malleable, breathable, soft, non-stretch or with very little stretch, opaque;
- The fiber content can include natural fibers (wool, silk, cotton, linen), artificial (viscose), blends (wool + silk, wool+ polyester, cotton + viscose, etc.), and synthetic (polyester, polyester + elastane);
- The following fabrics are recommended: gabardine, denim, corduroy, needlecord fabric;
- For the lining, we recommend artificial fibers (viscose), blended (viscose + polyester) or synthetic (polyester).
Attention! We do not recommend stretchy knit materials and lightweight sheer fabrics (chiffon, organza, stretch lace).
