Plus, they include a special waistband that expands to make this style really comfortable so you can wear them anywhere: sofa to boardroom.

It&#8217;s one of those patterns that you can sew in multiple fabrics to create a whole wardrobe of trousers that will never go out of style. They&#8217;re versatile for all seasons, too, depending on your fabric choice. So have fun with them! Cotton twill, tropical wool, denim, wool flannel, tweed, you name it, these will look great in all of those fabrics! I used cotton twill with a bit of stretch for the trousers in these photos, but I also tried denim and other twill fabrics and really loved the results.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02093.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-80369\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02093-760x904.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"904\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02093-760x904.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02093-500x595.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02093-768x914.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02093-1200x649.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oliverands.com\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02118.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-80359\" src=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02118-760x507.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"507\" srcset=\"\/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02118-760x507.jpg 760w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02118-500x333.jpg 500w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02118-768x512.jpg 768w, \/\/o.osimg.net\/community\/content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/DSC02118-1200x649.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you want, you can also add belt loops to this style.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick video in which I talk you through the details and you can see the trousers in action.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video youtu.be\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing the Liesl + Co.
