The Trousers sewing pattern from The Savile Row Suit by Patrick Grant.

NOTE: This is not a complete pattern. The instructions are in the book The Savile Row Suit by Patrick Grant (sold separately here). You must own a copy of the book to make this pattern. 

IMPORTANT: This pattern is in one men’s size only. Our understanding is that Patrick Grant designed the patterns in the book in a single size to give readers the opportunity to try out making each garment following the instructions, testing out traditional tailoring techniques which can then be applied to real-life projects. The book focuses on the history, process and skills of tailoring.

About the book: Savile Row is the home of bespoke tailoring. In this book, Patrick Grant, co-owner of Savile Row tailors Norton & Sons, describes the long-standing traditions of craftsmanship maintained in the workrooms of this quiet corner of London’s Mayfair. He celebrates the extraordinary ecosystem, from the British weavers and cloth houses to the trimmings merchants, that allows Savile Row to flourish. Grant shines a light on the captivating story of Savile Row and the painstaking processes required to create a bespoke garment. This book details, for the first time, the complete methods of several of Savile Row’s finest sewing tailors, providing a detailed step-by-step manual on how to hand-make a pair of trousers, waistcoat and coat in the Savile Row style, and a shirt in the style of one of Jermyn Street’s finest shirt makers. Richly illustrated, it gives an insight into a highly discreet and rarefied world of craftsmanship.

Patrick Grant is the co-owner of Norton & Sons and the co-owner and director of Community Clothing. He won Menswear Designer of the Year at the 2010 British Fashion Awards and is best known as a judge on the BBC One show The Great British Sewing Bee.
