Customizable business trousers made to measure
Here you have the opportunity to configure your own individual pattern for business trousers according to your measurements and ideas. You can choose between different fits, pocket variants, waist heights, lengths, etc.
In contrast to jeans and chinos, business trousers, just like the Marlene, are sewn in the classic way. There are no or only a few visible topstitch seams. The leg seams are closed first, the crotch/bottom seams at the end, which leaves more options for any later adjustments.
Typical for business trousers are wool fabrics with a fine drape, but of course you can also use other fabrics. They often have a crease and you can choose a knee lining as an option in the configuration – for comfort, shape retention and a smooth look.
The fit and leg shapes sometimes overlap with other types of pants: for example, you’ll find a tapered silhouette like the chino, but also straight legs like the Marlene.
The pattern pieces already contain all seam allowances. The finished seam lines are marked in the pattern pieces. This way you can easily see how wide the seam allowances and hem turn-ins are intended to be.
In the instructions supplied, you will find links to the corresponding sewing instructions for the individual steps. We make these available to you online in image/text and video form. If you like, you can take a look at the instructions here.
The instructions also contain layout plans for cutting and information on materials and consumption.
We usually need 0.5-10 hours to generate your individual pattern and send your pattern e-book by e-mail.
This contains the following files:
- A4 PDF pattern file (also for US letter)
- A0 PDF pattern file (the pattern is in A0 format in width, but can be longer – depending on how much space is required for the pattern pieces).
- PDF instructions for the pattern
You will therefore receive the pattern in two formats and can decide for yourself whether you want to print out the A4 file at home, glue it together and get started straight away. If you don’t feel like gluing, you can give the A0 file to a copy store or online print shop and have a large pattern sheet made for you. Please note the additional printing and shipping costs of the respective provider.
You can open the PDF files with the free Adobe Reader.
Configurator and variants
Configurator and variants
Make sure you select your variants in the configurator in order, i.e. from left to right or from top to bottom. The display may vary depending on the device. If you go back, check the settings you have already made again.
You will find a general explanation for each option. There are also individual variants to choose from, which contain individual descriptions.
Finally, you can enter your body measurements or select a clothing size.
How to take your measurements is explained during the measurement process. But you can also take a look at our measuring instructions here. It is important that you take really careful measurements, because the right measurements are the basis for the right cut.
Overview of the different variants
You can also find the following descriptions directly in the configurator. You can get an overview here:
With business trousers, you first choose the fit. In the next step, you determine the width of your trousers by selecting the leg shape.
The “slim 10” fit is designed exclusively for fabrics that can be stretched by approx. 10 % and is close-fitting at the seat.
The slim fit has a width allowance of approx. 2 cm at the seat and approx. 2.5 cm at the thigh. Designed for non-elastic fabrics.
The regular fit is also made for non-elastic fabrics and has an extra width of approx. 4 cm at the seat and thighs for sufficient freedom of movement.
The casual fit is also for non-elastic fabrics, cut loosely and has an allowance of approx. 7 cm at the back and at least 7 cm at the thighs.
For the regular and casual fit, you can choose one or two pleats. You can also use a slightly stretchy material for both fits, but then you must ensure that the waistband does not stretch out by securing it with a non-elastic interfacing or cutting it lengthwise.
In the next step, you select the leg shape from five different options.
The contoured leg shape follows the natural leg shape and – depending on the fit – is tighter or slightly looser on the leg.
The “straight from the knee” shape corresponds to the contoured leg shape at the top, but is cut wider from the knee and therefore falls looser.
With the “straight from the thigh” shape, the leg runs straight from the thigh to the hem – as with the straight Marlene line.
The tapered leg shape is wider at the knee and becomes narrower towards the hem. The width can vary depending on the fit.
With the balloon-shaped leg, the leg is narrower at the top and bottom than in the middle. This creates a balloon-like shape.
The choice of waistband height is only a pre-selection for the made-to-measure patterns. You only determine the actual height of the waistband when you enter the measurements. For example, if you select the low waistband height here, but enter the measurement for the “side length to the top of the waistband” so high that it corresponds to a medium waistband height, you will get the medium waistband height.
For the crotch depth , you can choose between the two variants “normal” and “low”. With the normal shape, the inseam is quite close to the crotch, depending on the fit. The deep crotch shape is about 5 cm deeper.
In terms of length, you can choose between regular length and 7/8 length (ankle free trousers).
You have four options when choosing the front pockets. Here you can choose the classic straight pocket shape, “banana” for a curved pocket opening, “angular” for a pocket opening that is slightly shifted to the front or a seam pocket.
For the back pockets, you can choose from welt pockets, pockets with double welt and angular patch pockets. You can also choose not to use back pockets at all.
You can choose between 40 mm or 60 mm width for the waistband. It is also available as a “attached and shaped with fly” or “attached with fly” version. In contrast to the center front, the shaped waistband runs at a slight angle to the grain. This makes it very comfortable. However, it is slightly longer at the seam and only reaches the desired circumference at the upper waistband edge. The non-formed waistband is – as the name suggests – straight. The inseam and upper waistband edge are the same length.
For the hem, you can choose between a turn-up, stitched or blind hem.
There are also specials. Here you can add iron pleats and/or front lining to your configuration if you wish.
