The Orel trouser pattern is a very comfortable trouser pattern with wide legs and an elasticated back waistband.
The wide waistband and the interplay of pockets/pleats at the front add style and elegance…
DETAIL
- Wide front belt and pleats for style
- 2 hidden pockets in a clip for a surprising assembly
- Elasticated waistband at the back for comfort!
SIZES:
The Orel trouser pattern goes from size 34 to 52 .
Since the pants don't have a zipper, your hip measurement (or the widest part of your body) must fit through the waistband.
Compare your hip measurement to the measurements in the size chart below to determine your size.
The waistband (or even the finished measurements) will be slightly smaller than your hip measurement because we allow for a negative 5cm ease.
Find more details on choosing your size in the blog post and the sewing guide.

STATURE:
The pattern is available in 3 heights: 1.60m / 1.65m / 1.76m

The pattern's availability in 3 different heights should allow you to limit adjustments to the trousers, particularly at the crotch.
In theory , regarding height , if you measure:
- Between 1.56m and 1.63m, choose the height: 1.60m
- Between 1.64m and 1.71m, choose the height: 1.68m
- Between 1.72m and 1.80m, choose the height: 1.76m
But you know yourself best! You might have long legs and a small torso, or vice versa. So it's always best to check if the leg length suits you. The finished measurements of the Orele trousers are given below.
Also note that the leg length of the pants is designed to reach just above the foot, breaking slightly over the shoe.
