To sew these trousers, choose suiting fabrics with the following properties:
- medium-weight, pliable, breathable, non-stretch or low-stretch, opaque
- the fabric content can include natural (wool, silk, cotton, linen), artificial (viscose), blends (wool + silk, wool + polyester, cotton + viscose, etc.), and synthetic fibers (polyester, polyester + elastane)
- the following fabrics are recommended: wool suiting, gabardine, denim, tweed, corduroy, linen, twill, wool crepe.
We do not recommend very stretchy knit materials (jersey fabric) and lightweight sheer fabrics (chiffon, organza, stretch lace).
For the lining choose lining fabric which includes artificial (viscose), blends (viscose + elastane, viscose + polyester, etc.), and synthetic fibers (polyester, polyester + elastane).
The trousers in the photo are made of suiting fabric. This fabric is medium-weight, pliable, soft, and has little stretch. The fiber content is a blend of polyester, viscose and spandex. The lining is viscose + polyester.
