The 1840s is kind of late for what I'm doing. I need that baggy seat, to
cover my anatomy and to 'read' early, and I need the resultant trousers
to stay up without suspenders.
Simplicity 4923 is fall-front with a baggy seat and does not use
suspenders. It is taken from 'Cut of Men's Clothes' diagram XXII. The book
dates it ~1760-65, but it does meet the design requirements you have.
The construction of the upper part seems like it would do. I actually need
longer trousers, not breeches, but making this pair longer will be a
trivial alteration compared to turning a modern fly-front pattern into a
fall-front one.
Yes, I think it will do nicely. Thank you.
