Fly-Front breeches? Yes, please!
Breeches from the 18th century look very strange to the modern eye. They've got weird shapes, they're fiddly to adjust for wear, and they can be challenging to construct. Use our pattern, for fly-front breeches, circa 1730s-1760s, based on extant examples, and get a leg up!
