These plain pants of the side seam pocket style are a good choice for a civilian or confederate impression.
- A blank kit for making a pair of side seam style pants consists of
all the body pieces (except the adjustment belt) attached
together so that you know where each piece should go. The legs are
formed, the outer waistband is attached to the body, and the pocket
facings and pockets are all sewn in place by machine.The fly pieces,
though in place, need to be sewn in place by hand. The back lining
pieces and waistband lining needs to be worked in by hand. The
adjustment belt straps need to be sewn in place. The pocket openings
need to be top stitched. The waistband button hole and four fly button
holes need to be worked. The buttons and buckle need to be sewn on. the
pants need to be hemmed. Buttons and buckle are not included in the price of a blank kit but can be added for an additional charge if you choose to. This is a great pants kit to complete without having to wonder which fly piece goes where.
- Finished trousers will be complete
and ready to wear when you receive them. The button holes will be worked
by hand as well as the buttons and buckle sewn on by hand.
