Rambler Pants Fitting and Adjustments

The Rambler Pants were drafted based of measurements for a 5’10” cis male body. We recommend choosing a size based on your hip measurements.

Lengthening/Shortening the Pants
  • On Front (A) and Back (B) cut across the lengthen/shorten line.
  • To lengthen, spread the pieces apart to add the desired amount of length. Tape a scrap of paper in place behind your new opening.
  • To shorten, overlap the pieces to remove the desired amount of length. Tape in place.
  • Redraw sideseams.
  • Trace new pattern pieces!

Adjusting the Rise

  • On Front (A) draw a line going in perpendicular to the notch at the sideseam. Draw a line straight up at a 90 degree angle from your line going up a few inches. Draw another line at a 90 degree angle from your line going straight in to center front landing along the fly.
  • Cut along the line to separate your Front (A) into upper and lower pieces.
  • To lengthen, spread the pieces apart to add the desired amount of length. Tape a scrap of paper in place behind your new opening.
  • To shorten, overlap the pieces to remove the desired amount of length. Tape in place.
  • Repeat this process on Back (B).
  • Trace new pattern pieces!
