The Jones Trousers are a playful and modern take on the classic trousers. They feature a high waist with elastic back, inverted box pleats, and a slightly dropped crotch – with plenty of ease throughout. The tapered legs, along with the ankle pleat and cuff, give the pant legs a gentle balloon shape. The design of the Jones Trousers uses zero-waste drafting techniques to utilize as much of the required fabric as possible while maintaining the style and fit of the pants. The unconventional pattern layout and sewing process make for a fun and satisfying make.
