Glad to hear it!!!
Thanks for the thread!

The link for Angela Kane is good.  I’ve paid for her subscription before and her patterns are printable in .pdf.  They are more of a “skinny jeans” pants.  For denim the domestic machine used might need to be a little more heavy duty.  My advice is to get an all metal machine at a minimum and steer far away from any machine with plastic gears.  My 2 cents on the subject.  Of course light weight materials will be different sewing than denim or canvas with canvas being much hotter than 3×1 twill denim.  Learning to sew felled seams like in Angela Kane’s videos is a real good skill to get.  She doesn’t cover hand sewn button holes however but there is lots of good information on that elsewhere.  Nice looking project you made congrats :-)  best regards, Mike

good work, welcome to the MYOG addiction

I don’t see the reason for making a U.S. style fly.  Just as easy to pull pants down.  Like a pair of sweat pants.  Do pants in the rest of the world have flies like here?

I just make my pants loose, not tight.  And square – the same width from top to bottom.  No benefit to making them flared – that’s just a style thing, hiking around in the wilderness doesn’t require stylish pants, although that’s a personal opinion.  Also, making them loose allows air flow inside – better when its hot, and the dead air provides warmth in the winter.

Sven!  Your ergonomic wood pack frame is very cool. Is it “just” plywood, or some other kind of laminate? And how did you shape it? Steam?
