The Brier a classic sailor cut pant minus all those buttons. They are slightly cropped (just enough to show off a good shoe or a bare ankle) with a clean, wide leg that's both tailored and relaxed. The real moment is in the trapunto topstitching on the waistband that give structure and "I have good taste" energy. Thoughtfully built to follow the body, not fight it, so you can get that clean iconic look and a fit that makes sense.

    Brier Pants Review

    Hi,

    I am an intermediate home sewist and recently made the Brier pants in a mid weight cotton twill. I am 5 feet tall and have a 30" hip and 26" waist and find that I have close to average proportions. The main issue I found is that the waist was well above my natural waist as a shorter person. This caused the pocket openings to be too high for me as well. Overall, the pattern is easy to follow and I know these will be a staple in my wardrobe.

    Great fit

    Obviously this changes for every person but this is the first time that fit has been perfect straight out of the envelope. I made these trousers in medium cotton twill and they are great. More to come!

    Perfect wide (but not too wide) leg pant

    I made the pant in a heavy stretch denim, all white stitched in 100% white cotton then dyed when finished to a fabulous amethyst colour. I always do lots of alterations for a flat low seat & wide waist etc. I always find Daughter Judy patterns easy to alter to get a great fit. I previously made the Adam pant & 6 Coe pants. The Brier leg width was perfect for a heavy denim...any wider would overwhelm me as I'm not very tall.

    Best Fit Ihave had yet!

    These pants allow for sitting room without sagging in the rear or the knees. I made mine with a non-stretch 10 oz bull denim from Blackbird and I have been wearing them almost every day. The fabric was a little stiff at first but now has softened with washing. The legs are wide enough without being too wide which would have been hard to manage in this fabric. My machine had trouble in some places sewing through the many layers but that is more due to fabric choice. I am very happy with the pattern and already have fabric to make another pair. I did grade between sizes as I am more of a rectangle and chose pattern by hip measurement, grading up for the waist. NOTE (to self): Read the pattern thoroughly before sewing. I cut off what I thought was an extra bit of fabric overhang by the pocket and it turns out it was needed to make the pocket sit nicely. There are no errors in this pattern, it works great.
