Would anyone be aware of a resource for building clothing patterns very specifically for tall men? I've tried the measurements from Aldrich's Metric Pattern Cutting for Menswear however they seem to be based on a generic "fit" for menswear. I'm generally tall and broadish and (for a guy) have hips so I ended up with a pattern for tight pants, which is NOT what I'm after. I'd be happy with a way to make the male equivalent of lounge pants, but basically have nowhere to start!

I've got pants that are okay, but not great fit. I guess I'm trying to figure out how to make the adjustments without making a million pairs of okay pants.

there wolf posted:Resources for building clothing patterns are the same regardless of size- learn how to draft patterns. Yeah, Aldrich was my first step to that end. there wolf posted:The easiest thing as mentioned is to use another pair of pants as a template and in normal times I'd tell you to actively shop for the right pants at second-hand or cheap places with the intent of using them as a pattern. I'm in Australia and nowhere really does tall sizes (at least, not at a premium) and op-shops just reflect that. Most of my pants in recent years I've had to order from the US just to get a decent inseam. there wolf posted:But since that's kind of not an option, you'll probably need to look at big and tall patterns and expect to have to cut them down a little. You can also checkout https://freesewing.org/ which is a site dedicated to providing patterns for your exact dimensions, and it also has a chat where you can talk about what you're doing and get advice. Downside is they have only have a few patterns especially for pants. That's a fantastic site! I never thought of looking for MtM patterns. I'm okay with only a couple of patterns - that's more than I have now.
