Strike pants

The Strike pants pattern is a pants pattern with wide legs but well fitted at the hips. 

It has the finishing touches of jeans-type pants with its stitching, its back patch pockets and the ticket pocket on the front.

DIFFERENT VERSIONS

And the pattern is offered with different options to be sure to satisfy all your desires:

• High waist or low waist,

• 3 types of belt available

• and a variation of the pattern in 3 sizes for a minimum of adjustments!

WHAT SIZE DO I CHOOSE?

SIZES: The Strike pants pattern goes from size 32 to size 46.

Choose your size as usual based on your measurements and the size chart (see images).

It is strongly advised that you to make a sample. But in any case, if you hesitate between 2 sizes choose the larger one because it is easier to adjust a garment than to enlarge it!

HEIGHT: The pattern is available in 3 heights: 1m60 / 1m65 / 1m76

The variation of the pattern in 3 different sizes should allow you to limit the adjustments to the pants, particularly at the crotch.

For height, in theory, if you measure:

• between 1m56 and 1m63, choose the height: 1m60

• between 1m64 and 1m71, choose the height: 1m68

• between 1m72 and 1m80, choose the height: 1m76

But you know yourself best! You can have long legs and a small bust or vice versa. So it is always better to check if the leg length suits you. The finished measurements of the Strike pants are given just after.

Also note that the leg length of the pants is designed to hit just above the foot, without breaking on the shoe.
