BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Tailoring is the art of designing, drafting, cutting, fitting, and finishing
men’s clothing. While there are many pattern drafting techniques you can
use in turning your basic pattern into a stunning fashion style, there are few
basics that you need to master. This module focus on the most commonly
used methods in drafting patterns for trousers.

Finding pants that perfectly fits our shapes is not an easy task.
Among ready-to-wear collections, there are more stretch jeans and pants and
very few classic trousers because it is virtually impossible to create a model
that fits to everyone. Here are some simple and easy ways to draft your
pattern. Just follow the instructions given and you will find the perfect fit for
you.

 LESSON 4: MEN’S TROUSERS/LONG PANTS
4.1: Parts of Men’s Trousers/Long Pants

Trousers- worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately.
Garments- a piece of clothing or an article of clothing
Drafting -the act of drawing or a preliminary sketch, outline, or version
Perpendicular line -Lines that are at right angles (90 degrees) to each
other
Horizontal line -the line where the earth seems to meet the sky
Parallel- extending line in the same direction or equidistant
Right angle - the angle bounded by two lines perpendicular to each other
Planning - the act or process of making or carrying out plans
Evaluation -the act or result of evaluating

PARTS OFTROUSERS

1. Crotch - An angle formed by the parting of two legs.

2. Thigh- The part of the leg between the knee and the hips.

3. Pocket - A little bag or pouch especially sewn into clothing for carrying
money and small articles.

4. Seam line - A line formed by sewing together two pieces of materials.

5. Inseam - the seam on the inside of the leg for a pair of pants.

6. Side seam - the seam on the side of the leg for a pair of pants.

7. Placket - A finished opening usually found at one end of a seam.

8. Waistband - The band encircling the waist, as at the top of the skirt or
trousers.
