Buy the Langston Trousers sewing pattern from French Navy. The Langston Trousers have a mid-rise relaxed fit that is designed to sit a little below the natural waist. They are slim through the hip with a roomy leg that tapers slightly towards the ankle. The comfortable cut features an elasticated waistband and button or zipper fly front. Their vintage-inspired carpenter details lend a practical, utilitarian aesthetic which, by the exclusion of some of the pockets, can also be toned down for a more minimalist look.

This one is a keeper

Seeing this pattern in an email about the most popular Oct patterns, reminded me that I have already made it, using canvas purchased at the Knitting and Stitching show. All the French Navy patterns I have made have been good. This one has a few typos: 'gaurd' for guard and 'basing' for basting for example. You need to be aware of differences in seam allowances. Also, next time (and there will definitely be one) I will finish the waist band and insert the elastic through one of the ends. It was difficult not to catch the 2" elastic when catching down the inside hem.
Although I was worried that the trousers seemed small, they came up true to size and needed no adjustments on me. They are definite for a forthcoming rugged holiday!
This being the first make, I included all the "work pants" bells and whistles. They are just for decoration though as, generally, I carry my tools in a box.
