Patti B said... Aren't you nice to sew these very custom pants for your DH. They look great. 6/15/10 0:40 AM
21wale said... Wow! Excellent pants. My husband likes made-to-order details, too (: But I haven't ventured into pants for him yet. 6/15/10 0:52 AM
Sew4Fun said... Wow, I can see why your DH loves them. Great job. 6/15/10 2:04 AM
o3b said... His request list made me laugh. Being able to make them just as he wanted must have made him feel extra special. You should consider doing a tutorial on the waistband. The pics you have already taken would be a great starting point for someone else to visualize. Don't you think we should be able to buy the really good pants fabric (like, say, Eddie Bauer fabric)?? And in the colors guys want, too. 6/15/10 3:06 AM
MNBarb said... You must REALLY love your husband. These pants are a work of art and architecture. I can't believe you even did the waistband/elastic thing. Are you sure you aren't an "expert" sewist? Lucky man. 6/15/10 7:25 AM

whirrclunk said... So much effort, it's great that they turned out so well! 6/24/10 4:29 PM
Sew it seams said... Great job! My husband was looking over my shoulder as I viewed all the modifications you made and he said "wow! Can you make some of those for me?" So, I'll be trying this pattern before fall. He wants me to copy his favorite style of double knee Carhardts. 6/25/10 10:07 AM
LauraJ said... Wow! They look great. I admire the amount of detail you've added. I'm joining the list of folks who'd love a tutorial on doing the elastic waistband trick. That would actually be useful on women's dress pants, too. 6/27/10 2:10 PM
