Good morning, my dear friends, these Kwik Sew men's jeans are my favorite jeans that MBP readers hold on a wide margin.
I love these jeans so much. They have a more traditional fit -- a little fuller in the thighs and higher in the waist than some popular styles. But let's face it, I'm not in a boy band.Here, again, is what I was striving for and I think I'm pretty close.


A little more topstitching porn:Some of you mentioned rivets. They would be nice but I'd need to have them done professionally -- too much work for me. Or maybe I'm wrong. Can you do that yourself?By having the front belt loops overlap the top of the front pocket, the extra stitching provides sufficient reinforcement in the pocket area, at least on the side closer to the fly. I don't walk around with my hands in my pockets much, preferring gloves.I'll wash these a few times before hemming just in case they shrink up.

Thank you for all your excellent pointers yesterday about twill often being off grain. I can now direct my anger at the fabric instead of the fabric store. The one thing I don't care for in this pattern, Kwik Sew 2123 (from 1991), is that the front left fly is part of the same pattern piece as the left side leg and is then folded back, which doesn't really provide enough thickness for the fly, imo.


On other patterns, this is a separate piece (basically a facing) that's interfaced, attached, and then folded back, creating a thick seam and thus a thicker edge. Here's my Men's Jeans:Do you see the difference? Anyway, it's water under the bridge, no biggie. And that, my friends, is that.I hope you're all feeling well and enjoying your weekend.

I am looking forward to you to come to the flea market. good luck to you, My dear friend.
