Sewing Mens Vintage-Inspired Pants

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- I have been working on sewing myself a pair of high waist pleated trousers inspired by those vintage but modern pants all the boys on Instagram are wearing.
I made a few samples over the last few weeks ( • Sewing Pleated Pants. ... ) and now it was time to sew the final version.
The main focus was figuring out how to slim down the fit for a more modern cut and what that means for the pleat. I ended up going went with a shallow single pleat.

Want to make these pants? Here's my full tutorial: th-cam.com/video/j9ljDpkkB8w/w-d-xo.html
Nicely done, I’m a big fan of high waisted trousers and have been looking on you tube for some instructions - and here we are, so thanks and I’m off to the shops.
Oh wonderful. Well I did a second video where I documented every step. Might be of interest? th-cam.com/video/lz6g2FhkIkU/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching and good luck with yours!
I love the pants with the turtleneck sweater! Such a lovely colour combination.
Of the different looks, that one was my favourite too. You have a wonderful sense or style I guess ... 🙂
You just seem to never stop growing. Your attention to detail and patience with this one has paid off. The last look with the camel peacoat ... In your own words ... OoooOoo
Ouuweee, aren't you just a flatterer. Thank you for the kind words, I do appreciate it. Yes, I guess I am striving to improve constantly. 😁
Bring back men's high waisted pants - If you're a long lean type of bloke (waist smaller than hips), high waisted pants are so much more stylish and comfortable.
Indeed they are and a good type for the body type. I am still a fan of these and plan to eventually make more of them in the future.
@@CorneliusQuiring Even a Regency/Napoleonic pattern with their weird upper back panel (baggy bum) and "fall front" look really great from the front!
Indeed
I love the whole fit. Ur hair also matches great with the vintage vibe
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words and thank you for watching.
first video of yours that I've seen, now I REALLY want to make myself a pair. I love the accent button, the slim fit, the high waist.
Well thank you for watching. I definitely think you should make yourself a pair too!
Thamks for the tutorial. I'm gonna make one and pair it with my 18th century men's shift (à la Howl's Moving Castle)
Very cool. Well thank you for watching and when yours are finished, do share.
I made a more detailed video of these pants here if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/lz6g2FhkIkU/w-d-xo.html
lol i got it from my grandpa
🙂
@@CorneliusQuiring ;) but everyone makes fun of me, they call me grandpa and I'm not trendy, comfort is important and it looks better
Well screw everyone of those people. They're not worth your time. Be true to yourself my friend!
These are great! Mens wear and making it is underrepresented in the YT sewing community.
I'm doing my part to change that, one make at a time :)
2 mins in and ive learned alot ! lol thanks !! love the content !!
Thank you, I'm happy to hear it. Thanks for watching. 🙏🏻
Great work! I would just say one thing, make your pleats sharp, long and deep.
Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective. That's a good tip.
i love watch sewing videos, just because its amazing to see how people can make clothes for themselves. you're the first guy seamster i've come across. great work.
one thing that ive learned from other seamstresses is to never run your sewing machine over pins. it can be really dangerous. take them off before reaching that point
Well thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching my videos. Yes, I'm playing a dangerous games leaving in the pins and sewing overtop ... eek.
It's elegant! I hope i can sew something nice like that for my husband too. I like your style of sewing, you're so careful and relaxed. No tensed muscles. Looks like it will take time for me to learn that. I still feel anxious with cutting and sewing fabrics. Thanks for the tutorials!!!
Oh wonderful, I am happy to hear you were able to enjoy the content I create. Thank you for watching. I have full faith you too can master the art of sewing :)
That was really good.
Thank you.
You do very nice work. You were saying that the buttonhole tab where it is rounded did not come out as nice as you would like. I would suggest instead of just clipping into the seam allowance on the semicircular part, notch triangles out of the seam allowance. As a general rule I always clips concave curves and notch convex curves. I hope this helps.
Now, these are the sort of tips that I need! Thank you for sharing. This is a good rule of thumb I'll be using moving forward.
Thank you for watching as well.
@@CorneliusQuiring You're welcome. I've been sewing for almost fifty years and I am still learning new things.
I wanted to make pleated pants matching the new blazer I just got but you convinced me that I wouldn't be able to master it lmao. You are wayyy better at sewing than I am and it took you a lot of testing to get it right so I'll be fine with normal trousers! Keep the good work. I really liked your videos. Your pants look great :)
Well thank you for the kind words. There's no harm in trying with some sample or old fabric, right? Perhaps you'll figure it out. It always takes me a few goes to make anything. I believe in you! 🙂
Love your videos. Came here to learn to sew pants, and your videos popped up first
Happy sewing.
Thank you mate! You really do have the best videos on sewing! I have watched quite a few now :)@@CorneliusQuiring
🤠🙏🏻
Great fit for sure. The finishes are always a work in progress for me too. I think you are ready for Project Runway. These trousers are modern with a vintage nod that I like. You need a fedora lol. Nice to see you back.
Oh my, such praise. Thank you :)
I have watched many a season of Project Runway and to be on it would be quite something. Or I could be on Heidi's new Amazon show?! Gasp.
It's nice to hear from you again as well.
I love your channel so much! Stumbled upon it a few months ago and it's always a nice relaxing evening watching you create a garment :) They look stunning, by the way!
Well thank you for the kind words and thank you for sticking around. I appreciate you watching what I make and do.
Outstanding work ... really admire your skills 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏻
Well thank you. I appreciate the kind words.
Those are perfect! Great job!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
a tailor told me a piece of advice , look for imperfections in a piece of stiched clothe , it shows how time consuming it was to make it , imperfections are good and u made them yourself 😀 cheers bro
Now that is an expression I appreciate and good to be reminded of. Thanks for watching and chiming it.
I love them! Looks perfect.
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Just noticed the vintage singer sewing machine 👍👍. I need to give up on relationships and just be happy with my sewing projects 😂😂😂.
Amen. Friends have opinions and ideas of their own and who needs that?! 😏
Love these. I'm using your videos to teach myself to sew. I think I'm going to attempt these next
I am happy to hear that you're learning something from my content! I hope yours turn out well for you.
🏳🌈definitely in love with these pants ,placing it on my to make list a pattern would be handy but maybe making it myself s teaches me more :)thanks for this wonderful vid 🏳🌈
Oh wonderful, well hopefully you make yourself a pair and if you want a bit of help making a pattern, I did a full tutorial recently!
th-cam.com/video/j9ljDpkkB8w/w-d-xo.html
and then here is the prequel: th-cam.com/video/59btFjK3rx0/w-d-xo.html
Happy sewing!
Excellent work. Something I've learned is to baist the actual garment before sewing
That is a great idea. Thank you for sharing.
Pleasure man, keep up the good work
Great design !
You did an incredible job on these!
Thank you 🙏🏻
SUBSCRIBED TO A TALENTED HUMAN BEING TODAY :D. MISTER YOU ARE BRILLIANT
That is very kind. Thank you.
Very nice video :) it's a lot easier absorbing information when you make it so interesting to watch. Keep it up👍
Well thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching my efforts. I appreciate it :)
Loved the video! You're very talented and funny too 🤣
Many thank you's :)
They look amazing. 👌
Glad you like them.
They look great!
Thanks 🙂
Pretty cool, idk why shop's don't have pleated trousers
Too fashionable for a mainstream audience I figure. 😏
PLEASE DO MORE TUTORIALLSSSS
Absolutely will! thanks for watching.
high waist trousers always remind me of rick mayal in bottom
I just Googled that reference and his voice sounds very familiar to me.
very nice work ❤
🤠🙏🏻
Yesss! You did it, it looks great!
I think you should add a back seam to the waistband, and sew it together with the back inseam (I dunno whats called in english, the butt seam you know) with large stitches and keep bigger seam allowances, perhaps two rows of stitch for strength, but so you adjust it as the last thing, and to make sure that it fit snuggly. So if you find you lost weight, or gained, you can just unpick this part, refit it, and sew it.
That's a really good tip. It seems so simple, but having extra seam allowance is a solid idea. I want these to last a while so that would allow for it.
I agree, they are a little loose in the lower back. I may at some point go back in and update them, I just need a little break for now ;)
Thank you for watching & commenting.
Great pants, excellent job💕
Thank you!
The slender bod is looking good. Production Corn did a great job.
You skipped a few things that you have seperate videos for, such as the men's pant zipper placement. Also, you didn't mention why they needed a lining. I liked your comments about the pockets, and I, too, agree that the back pockets were a bit too low.
Other than that, as I said, looking good.
Thank you and thanks for the feedback.
Love this channel! I tried making pants once and they turned out way too small! Would love to see you do some with side tabs!
Well at least you tried and that's what matters. Side tabs sound like a good idea, I could hold on to them longer as my weight fluctuates. :)
Richtig gut, wie du das machst. Das kann nicht jeder. 👍
Danke dir. Ich schätze die freundlichen Worte.
Great content ! 👌🏾
Your zipper fly technique looks clean . It would be cool if you could make a tutorial on that too ✌🏾
I plan to do a full pants sewing tutorial in the coming months, so look out for that. Thanks for watching and chiming in.
These are really nice pants. Sewing trousers is no easy thing. Hats off to you, sir!
Well thank you. Pants really are an involved process :)
Really enjoyed watching that & nice pair of trousers - you are clearly very talented. The trousers don’t fall straight down to the ground, as a well tailored pair of trousers should. They instead follow the curves in your legs, which would ideally not be the case. I think that small change (cutting the trousers to drape on you) would amplify the aesthetic of the trousers - would be very elegant.
But hey, opinions and arseholes…😂
Thank you for the feedback and thanks for watching.
Could have sworn I saw some tabs on the sides on you still shot images. Maybe I dreamed it. Great job C. Eat a bowl of ice cream daily for a handful of weeks and they’ll fit just fine.
Tabs on the side? I am a little lost a to what those may be / do?
As for the ice cream, Sundays are my cheat day and I've indulged in everything from chips to pizza and a cola today. It may take more than just ice cream to get me up to size :)
I just realized that the tabs I dreamed I saw on the side is actually the front button closure. Since Covid every day is a cheat day for me. Coping.
@@k3of5ks ahhh. I also like the way you think, perhaps we could all use a few more cheat days these days.
❤
Bro please pant full cutting videos.
I will at some point do a full tutorial. 😏
شكرا
شكرا لمشاهدتك
Hi there :) i really enjoyed this video! I think you could avoid the crooked pleat problem by adjusting the width of the pant at crotch level. Folds pointing towards the crotch indicate that they are too tight there. Pants are super duper hard to get right fit wise. I think I’m on mock up 4 or 5 by now! Found ‘The Complete Photo Guide to Perfect Fitting’ by Sarah Veblen (e-book) as well as youtuber Alexandra Morgan really helpful when trying to demystify my fit issues so highly recommend these :) Frida
Thank you for watching and thank you for the tips. I am going to follow up on your recommendations. I am looking to improve and understand more so it's always good to learn from others.
Hello, thank you and congratulations on your work. I'm getting inspired by you. Where can I find the template for this pants ? Or is that your precious secret ?
Well, good news, I just did a whole tutorial on exactly how to make these pants. You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/j9ljDpkkB8w/w-d-xo.html
I just saw it. I cant believe that the paint you have behind you with the lady , the boat etc.....I am quite sure that is Isabel Sarli. An actress from the country I am originally from, Argentina. I can read Armando on the poster so I suppose that is Armando Bo, her partner. Wow, small world and how the heck a poster from a Movie from the 60's from South America landed in your house :D . Oh nice vids btw I just discovered your channel : )
You are correct, that is Isabel Sarli and the movie is La Furia del Paraguay. I was born in Paraguay and I remember randomly seeing the poster on the internet somewhere. I was intrigued by the fact there was a movie about the country I was born in so I found one I could buy online :) I bought it from a sketchy website from Spain that didn't charge me anything for it either. Thanks for watching and sharing your story.
Do you think I can use the same techniques to make the same pants but for a women ? Or is there anything in particular I should be careful about ? Also Love your channel and your work thank you for the videos !!
Yeah, you should definitely be able to use this same technique. I did a whole video on exactly how to make these exact pants: th-cam.com/video/j9ljDpkkB8w/w-d-xo.html . I hope that helps and thanks for watching.
The big button looks a bit off. If you do a similar design again you should consider using two smaller buttons instead.
That's the beautiful thing about sewing our own clothes. We all get to make them to our own tastes.
@@CorneliusQuiring yeah true. I wanna learn how to sew for this reason myself
Nice Corn! You have a flair for a neat, clean fashionable look. So, if I send you my measurements could you sew up a pair for me in true cotton?? LOL, just teasing 😁 You did a fine job on them, my best to you!
Well thank you. Just send your measurements and yourself because clearly I need to make revisions as I go so there'll be many fittings. 😄
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching.
excellent
Thank you.
I have a question about fabrics. Which fabrics are best? Cause when i look it up all i get is the kind of fiber that is best.
That's really hard to say because there are so many different fabrics for different uses. My general preference though is natural fibers over synthetics.
@@CorneliusQuiring from what i undestand cotton and linnen seem to be best for warmer climates and wool for colder climates. Qhat i mean is like twill, woven, knit? Which in your opinion is better
For the bleu ones you seem to have used woven but for the green ones it seemd to be a twill
I find that twills are often heavier and good for things like pants and coats. I find knits often have stretch so they are good for tops and things. However, I am not very knowledgeable in this subject. My strategy is to go to fabric shops and simply feel the fabrics to see what I want. Touching is the best way to understand.
Love it 😍 wow
Thank you!
really good looking pants! great job! how much time did it take to make these pants ?
Thank you. If I were to make them without filming, I can do it in one day.
May I ask, why did you made the waistband curved like that? Is it because of the high waist? I'm learning to sew so I'm a bit curious.
Good question. If I cut the waist band as a straight strap, it will stand up perfectly vertical. I have a slender waist and so curving the waistband helps to taper it inwards at the top. I hope that make sense.
@Cornelius Quiring I see, it does actually, and since this waist band you made is higher than the usual it also needs to compensate the curve of the body. I asked because my teacher instructed me to use curved waist bands on female garments, but is smart to think about the details and experiment with the techniques to get a nice fit.
What can I say, I've got a women's physique. Haha. Yes you're right and thanks for commenting.
How can I order some with you? I've been searing for these for two years now..
You should make yourself some. I believe in you!
@@CorneliusQuiring lol. But you do it so well...... great video!
Thanks :)
hey i was wondering what kind of fabric did you use to make these?
I got it from my local fabric store so I I'm not certain, but it feels to be some sort of a wool / cotton blend.
@@CorneliusQuiring thank you :))
Could you possibly make a pattern? Id love to make these myself!
Or at least tell how you did it
I started off by downloading a pants pattern off of freesewing.org. I then tailored said pattern until it fit well. Next, to make these pants, I simply raised the waist to be high-waisted and added the single pleat to pull them in around my torso.
I hope that helps :)
Hey man, nice job on the pants :) What kind of fabric are you using for the navy pant?
Well thank you. I was told the fabric was a cotton, but I'm getting the sense it may be a cotton / wool blend of some sort because they have this slight itch to them, even after I washed the fabric. Honestly, I picked it for the colour :)
@@CorneliusQuiring yah it looks like wool suiting to me. I was thinking the single pleat in the front might look a bit like tactical pants but the cut and belt changed the design enough. you could always line the pants with a bit of woven cotton or linen to take some of the itch away from the really annoying areas.
I have considered putting in a lining. But I also tend to wear long johns in the fall / winter and so perhaps these will be winter pants. We'll see.
Can you please send me the pattern for these trousers??
Better yet, you can draft your pattern from scratch with this video: th-cam.com/video/j9ljDpkkB8w/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a lot!!
See every step of sewing these pants! th-cam.com/video/lz6g2FhkIkU/w-d-xo.html
idk if I am broken but pleated pants on me looks....weird. The detail usually looks like streched out by my body's name. IDk. Sad because i like them.
Well, if you like them, wear them, I say. It's your body and you get to wear on it whatever you want :)
