Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the side pockets different?

Each pocket is a horizontal welt opening with a 6 inch coil zipper, set 2 to 3 inches below the waistband. Cleaner and more secure than an in-seam slash pocket.

What weight of fabric should I use?

A heavyweight french terry, heavy jersey, or stable sweater knit. Aim for at least 12 oz so the leg hangs straight and the waistband holds shape.
