Closet Core Patterns - Sepia Pants + Shorts

About the Sepia Pants + Shorts

The Sepia Pants and Shorts are a smart design merging style and comfort. Functional double front pockets are constructed to create a floating effect, with additional topstitched back pockets. A conventional elastic waistband is enhanced with a fluted paper bag edge and optional drawstring.

• View A presents a barrel-legged pant ending at the ankle, shaped with darts at the knee and hem.
• View B offers a wide-legged, full-length pant.
• View C creates shorts ending at mid-thigh.

The Fabric

To highlight the silhouette of the pants, we suggest crisp wovens with some degree of structure, such as:
Light- to midweight linen, cotton ikat, chambray, and broadcloth
Lightweight denim, twill, and canvas (under 10 oz)
