I just finished a pair of jeans from Kwik Sew but want something a little more formal, Not dress but like Khaki. Even went to JoAnn looking through catalogs, mostly for the female or children. Frustrating. ------ kayakpeak

Here I did a search for Mens - Pants. My personal picks for mens trousers are Kwik Sew 3267 Jalie 2107 Kwik Sew 2860 if you would like a pleated front pant. HTH ------ Wendy Wellington, New Zealand

Burda is the only pattern line I have used successfully for my slim-hipped, athletic husband and son. Having sewn for decades, I think it depends mostly on careful measurement and fitting, and Burda has some of the most exacting measurement charts anyone will ever run into-- but very few will follow these instructions, thinking it will take too much time. In truth, you can make almost any pattern fit, but it is more work with some lines than others.

(Still need to do the review though - oops!) ETA - I just checked out the simplicity patterns, and B7841 is the same pattern. -- Edited on 2/1/13 5:13 AM --
