FABRICS
This pattern is
for use with
STRETCH FABRICS
ONLY! A
crosswise
stretch of at
least 30% is
recommended (30%
stretch means
that 10” of
fabric stretches
to 13”). A
fabric that
stretches
lengthwise as
well as
crosswise is
also
recommended.
Less stretchy
fabrics can be
used, but that
might require
using a larger
size. Medium to
heavyweight
fabrics are
preferred. The
knee patches can
be made from
self fabric,
suede leather,
or synthetic
suede. The leg
patches are
usually made
from suede
leather. The
seat insert can
be made from 2-3
oz. smooth or
suede leather or
synthetic suede.

FITTING
PLEASE NOTE! Since
breeches are meant
to fit snugly, you
will almost
certainly have to do
some altering to get
a perfect fit.
The
fit of the two
styles of WOMEN’S
breeches is a bit
different. The
regular stretch
breech is a bit more
generous through the
hips and upper thigh
than the full seat
breech. We recommend
making sample
breeches out of an
inexpensive stretch
fabric before using
a more expensive
fabric. These
breeches are
designed to fit VERY
snugly. For very
stretchy fabrics the
breech leg
measurements should
match or be 1”-2”
LESS than body
measurements. For
less stretchy
fabrics allow ½”-1”
of ease.
