Imperial Officer – Trouser Pattern
DISCLAIMER: This is still a work in progress. While I am doing my best to adhere to L3 requirements, I cannot yet guarantee that these methods will result in approval by the IOC.
NOTE: Illustrations not to scale.
TIP: Unless you really know what you’re doing (in which case, you probably don’t need this guide) it will be easiest if you read through this entire page first and then follow the instructions in order.
TIP: I decided to buy a bolt of “tracing fabric” and create my own pattern pieces, so I can keep the original pattern untouched. It has worked out well for me, and I highly recommend you do the same.
The following steps should be independent of what size pattern you have, so choose your size, and make sure that you’re always tracing/measuring/cutting the right lines for that size.
