Broadfall Drop Front Breeches: Eagle's View PM/73 |

Usually made of broadcloth or linen, they were alsoworn in leather and were buttoned or buckled just below the knee or tied with a draw string. In the fur trade the legs were extended but pants kept the drop front, the full gathered seat, and gussets in the back of the waistband. Variations are given for knee closing and leg length. This pattern is easy to use and comes with a glossary of termsand a section on working with leather so that almost anyone will be comfortable using it. Sizes included: 30-42. Normally sold for $8.95.
