More baggy jeans - Grasser 950

When I was searching for baggy jeans/cargo pants for P, in addition to the Mascultory jeans I also came across Grasser 950

 

 

With their elastic waist, lots of big pockets and baggy leg shape, he was super keen and I couldn't resist buying him two patterns.

The patterns are sold as single size and I went with their size 46 based on his measurements, and then you choose from 4 different height ranges. This is the size 46, height 188-194cm with no alterations. He adores them.

The fabric is some of the excellent Japanese stretch cotton drill that I'd bought from Draper's fabrics and used previously. The use of camouflage fabric for this pattern irked me a bit as a lot of the online versions of the pants are balding middle aged Russian guys in camouflage cargopants. I definitely want to make another pair similar to the sand/tan coloured ones in the pattern product images.

 

 

The pattern instructions would have had all these snaps on the pocket flaps hidden inside the flap, but then the topstitching gets a bit dangerous trying to stitch adjacent to an already inserted snap, so I just put them on afterwards and made them visible. 

 At the hem there are these little straps with adjustable snaps, which is kind of neat when you bicycle everywhere and need to keep your baggy pants out of your chain. The Mascultory jeans need to be tucked into a sock on the drivetrain side!

 

These side cargo pockets are almost too big, as if you put what fits into them (his laptop no less!) then the weight of the filled pocket overcomes the elastic waistband and you end up dacking yourself with your own cargo!!

Maybe the next ones will have a modified smaller pocket... Meanwhile I bought myself a Grasser pattern to try as well.
