    Ash and Charlie, Ah, pants. Nemeses extraordinaire. For my pair of fisherman’s pants (10+ years ago?), I elasticated the first waistband. This kept them up regardless, and only required one tie. I have now entered the “if it doesn’t have good pockets, why bother” collective. And while I liked the split leg in summer (like my other fellow Texan), it isn’t the greatest winter option. Much like Charlie’s adjustable waistband, I have considered that for the interior waistband … very similar to “chaps” with an arcing shape. I’m imagining an outer waistband that either buttons or snaps rather than ties. I’ve always wanted the adjustability with less bulk. As to hip measurements, most pants will have 2+” (5 cm) of ease at the hips for comfort and sit-ability. Several of my favorite instructors recommend wrapping fabric around a leg/hip and sitting down to see what your minimum ease is … that is your starting point. Any width you add on top is a design choice. Excellent work you two. These note videos will help immensely when you feel ready to tackle pants again! Kira

    One thing I'm surprised neither tried: make the pockets a solution rather than a problem. To wit, sew them as usual with one half of the pocket bag sewed to the front, the other half on the back, and then just leave the top open. The width of the pocket bags becomes the extra space to clear your hips/bum, and the inside of them becomes the panel that hides the gap. Honestly, though, if you want size flexibility, embrace modern materials and use elastic. 😅

    I have a pair of wrap-around pants. Not Hakama, not fisherman’s pants, but I’ve never been able to find a name or pattern for. Instead of side seams, it overlaps all the way down the leg-similar to when you added the full half panel to the front sides, but on the back as well. There’s a dart in front, so no pleats and a fairly fitted look (though they fall straight from the side of the hips), the excess overlaps on the sides instead. They can flap open when walking fast, but they have all the adjustability of the petticoat skirt, and my mum was able to add panels to the “backs” to make them bigger (and give sneaky glimpses of the new fabric when walking). You can choose whether you want the front or back “on top” and can drop the back to use the toilet; you can tie the back under the front with a little finessing (similar to how you tied the petticoat front under the back, if that makes sense). Dunno if this information helps you/anyone conceptualise some new ideas to try.

    Love these! Reminds me of the progression of wrap pants (shorts and ankle) I worked on in the 60's.... yes, I'm vintage! And to your question of going to the bathroom w/o taking them completely off like a jumpsuit, I would leave the front part tied (toward the back), untie the back and swing that part through my legs and hold them in the front. That who gyration became more difficult (impossible really) as I developed them into a partially sewn side seam but did allow them to simply be pulled down like regular pants even if I had to untie front and back.... until I started using elastic on the back waist.... interesting how these are so similar to the pants worn under saris.

    I'm so glad to see this! Ever since the whole Secret Pants craze started a couple years ago with multiple youtubers I watch tackling the challenge in a variety of ways, I've been wanting to make mine hakama-based since I've made more hakama (using Budo Bear patterns and instructions) than other legwear, and I've even got the bottom part of a hakama I partially trashed doing martial arts to start with for my proof of concept (it shredded around the waist so I ironed all the pleats back in and will just shorten it up a bit past the damage and see i I need to drop the crotch or not, so I'll bestarting that as soon as I'm done making the new hakama I started a decade ago when I made the shredded one (I'm down to attaching the side seams, ties and hemming, I just took the koshita and ties off the wrecked one). Though for doing not-formal hakama I may well try out your first method, way more intuitive if you're not trying to follow a specific folding pattern (a friend has made severaal hakama for other people and has made custom fold templates for eahc person based on math). I'd just make the deeper vents because that's not only traditional but also allows for the whole washroom without entirely disrobing thing. I also found wrap trousers have to go on back first or else they blow open when you walk and show a lot more leg than one might want.... The paper cutouts demonstration us VERY helpful, thank you. The hakama instructions from Budo Bear have a lot of hints on how to eliminate gaping on their long vents, often it has to do with height differences between the back and front as you're trying to fit a body with hips or belly or a waistline that tilts down at the front, or whatever your physical shape demands. The whole "getting the pockets to be not only functional but also the privacy panels" has been what's holding me up in my head, which starts steaming when I try to think through how to get it to work with front tied on first. Extra bulk from however I do the pockets will actually be appreciated cause I've got precious little hip to keep my pants up. I usually wear my hakama over gi pants, so there's no just dropping the back (and I go back and forth over front tied first or back tied first depending on whether I'm doing Aikido or Iaido), I have to completely disrobe to use the washroom and that's NOT a selling point forr something I want to actually wear in real life, not just for a couple hours at the dojo. I've got the crotch cutouts from the new hakama to make pockets so if that works it'll be really convenient for future attempts, I've got some nice plaid flannel to make my house hakama out of for an actual mockup before I use nice fabric for a pair I might wear out of the house.

Back in the 90's there was a pant that had a triangle of fabric on the too of both front and back of the pants, side seam was sewn then Velcro was added to the side flap and centre front. There were no pockets which I'm sure Charlie can overcome. They were some what adjustable. Looking forward to seeing what else people come up with.

I noticed you had some static-ish noise in the background while you were talking. I know this is kinda an easy fix in any audio editing software such as Audacity, there’s lots of tutorials for this if you search “noise reduction”. I personally find that kinda noise a touch distracting and think it would make things more crisp feeling if it was fixed. This is just a suggestion though and if you’re not too fussed with it don’t worry about it. Love your work❤

    Just had a thought I didn't think of it before when I first watched it but one the pair that Charlie was showing that she called pirate style to stop it from gaping you cud add a couple snap fasteners there which it won't matter how much u move because it will hold it in place you can get some decorative snap fasteners Also I did think weather they can both tie at the sides and where u need a overlap cud add some ruffles there which will give some coverage I do plan to try it out but I seam to have a list of make wants atm my daughter keeps asking me for plus still working on her prom dress I dnt use Instagram or most steaming platforms so I won't be able to share my creation but I do plan on giving it a go

    I'm almost wondering if you could treat the side openings like some sort of unsewn adjustable dart? At the smallest the dart just closes entirely and tucks away, but then you could just not close it as much if need be. Not solving the bathroom conundrum but possibly making them able to be more fitted maybe possibly?

    So could you make instructions to make... these trousers, but not split-side, and with elastics and pockets? Like, I really want to make just some comfy, roomy trousers with the kinda wide leg, but not split-side, and I don't want to deal with ties because I have hand/wrist problems. I like the idea of adjustable clothing, so I'm down for gathering so you could adjust the elastics. I'm losing weight so I would like to think I can fix it if they get too big. Can you do that based on this?? I would love it so much!

    I'm curious about the two layers at the waist, especially in the back.After wearing the pants for a bit,moving around, how much do the separate waists show? Do the ties tend to pop up from under the fabric waist? What could be done to prevent that? Perhaps sewing a hook onto the fabric waistband that could hook onto the ribbon/tie/cord waist and keep the cords below the main fabric waistband?

    I've seen mens wrap trousers that just have a giant waist that you fold and tie. They still weren't fitted, but would fix a gapping problem.

    You know, if the leg is wide enough, you don't need to undo the back panel to go to the restroom. You can come up from the hem of one leg and just move your underwear to the side. These kind of pants also reminded me of the pants that Whoopi Goldberg's character made in The Color Purple.

    My brain is trying to remind me that fall front breeches are kind of a weird split side item since the fall only attaches at the top. Still not sewing trousers though. I just don't wear them.

    Hmmm..... Having seen this, it seem that if I just sew up the open legs of my usual wrap-around trousers, leaving a gap at the top, I'll have a version of these that works.... {looks speculatively at the two matching pairs of wrap-around trousers he made at New Year}.... I might just try it on a pair I've already made and see if that's the case. My wrap-around trouser pattern is much sumpler than your three-piece-per-leg as it's just one-piece-per-leg (each leg is essentially a rectangle with a U shape cut out of the top edge for the crotch, so there's no inside leg seam(s) and no extension -that's just overlap all the way down, tough I coudl shape i to get rid of the extra fabric below the join if I'm sewing up the side seams). If I want it more fitted and less gathered/pleated at the waist, I add darts on the waist edge (usually, I can't be bothered and just give them an elastic waist)

    So what if you started with a darted pattern, but instead of sewing the darts closed, you make that the adjustment? Maybe you have to make the dart legs longer to give enough adjustability, and you might need it on the front darts and back darts.. Then you could close the sides, have your pockets normally, but maybe tiny ties on the darts..

    What about drafting the pattern to accomodate the crotch shape, rather than the crotch measurement. Example if you have a tummy and bubble butt the shape of the crotch will be different. Just wondering.
