Oh, I needed this today! It's just the *kick in the pants* I needed to get off my tush go cut those jeans out. Good job on those pants, and thanks!

Jeans reviews keep jumping out at me. It must be time to sew jeans. Yours look great. This is when I want to be a guy. I noticed you didn't have to do all of the fit adjustments I'm seeing in the women's reviews. Love the blog.

Peter, I wonder if by taking 1/5 inches out of the rise, you changed the relationship of the pocket edge and the side seam--could that be why the pocket isn't doing what it should? Something to think about, although honestly, no one's going to notice the pocket in such a great-looking pair of jeans.

These look great -- excellent use for this fabric. Love how you matched the stripey weave!

You did a nice job, Peter. I also noticed how well you matched the stripes. I wondered the same thing as Skymom about the rise adjustment affecting the pockets. I made jeans using this pattern with a denim that had some lycra so it was a tad stretchy. This can be a good fabric choice on a design that fits tightly. The fabric makes adjustments where needed. Also on traditional denim it does the same thing, which is why they fit so tight when you first put them on, but they loosen up a bit when you wear them. By the way, Cousin Kathy might like to borrow them and wear them with stilleto heels and a dressy top when she goes out clubbing.

I see the pockets pull like this in ready to wear. There's a couple of solutions, the easiest is to attach pocket lining to the fly front which then makes tension all around the body. The pocket is pulling because it provides a gap in the horizontal tension of the hip and pulls at that point. The curve of the pocket is also deep enough and angled to let this happen. I have made up this pattern in kid sizes. The pocket gaping doesn't happen because there's no tension on it because they wear them slung around their knees.
