Sewing Patterns

[joesruddock]

I'm having a rather hard time finding sewing patterns.

I'm looking for some gents high rise trousers and gents riding breeches.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot chaps

There are less sewing pattern for men because suits were often made by tailors. You might find drafts rather than ready to usw "pattern".

However trousers are far easier to find than jackets. Try Evadress or search etsy and ebay for "simplicity mens pattern". They sometimes have old ones.

I cannot help you with the riding breeches, but ReconstructingHistory.com sell a 1940's men's trouser pattern.

If you go to MAFCA.com and look under fashions, you will find that you can get copies of about 300 different patterns from 28-31.

i have a few vintage patterns from my grandmother. I'm using one from 1945 now. Still on the lookout for larger sized men's patterns, but anything above a 38 is impossible to find

Have a search through The Rusty Zipper collection. You can also email them with anything that you are seeking, they will let you know if they come across it on their travels.
