Adult Wool Interlock Fitted Shorts

How to Order

👉 Always review size charts to ensure fit! Remember, every brand fits differently. Don't assume a certain type of fit based on a style name you recognize from a different brand. As of June 1, 2023, the rise is taken off of the paper pattern, due to the stretch of the wool the rise after sewn will vary, often being slightly higher. There is no way to take this into account as different wools stretch differently. 

👉 NOTE: Please be aware that these are not tailor made pants made to fit your exact body. This is a pattern and not all patterns fit all bodies. Please check measurements. 

STEP 1: Measure yourself

Take the following measurements:

• Waistband circumference (more info below; see step 5)
• High Hip (at the hip bones)
• Hip (at the widest part)
• Thigh
• Front Rise
• Back Rise
• Shorts Inseam (where you want the shorts to fall)

Tape measure should NOT indent into your body. Tape measure should be firm without causing markings.

STEP 2: Select Pant Size

Check size chart below and pick the overall pant size that best suit your Hip, High Hip, and Thigh measurements.

STEP 3: Select Inseam

Inseam is measured from crotch to where you want your shorts to fall.

The fabric is stretchy, so where it falls may be different depending on body type. Note that additions and subtractions of inseam are not 1:1 from paper pattern to sewn up item. The larger the addition/subtraction, the more difference there will be.

STEP 4: Select Front and Back Rises

The waistband is approximately 3.5" in height and is INCLUDED in the rise measurement. If you would like the waistband to sit above your underwear line or high hip bones, please take that into consideration. Please note that the rise and inseam are taken off of the paper pattern. Due to the variances in stretch in the different interlock colours and types the rise and inseam will not be exactly what you order. Rises tend to be slightly larger due to this. 

STEP 5: Select Custom Waistband Circumference

For your custom waistband, find the top of your front rise, place your measuring tape there, and make a full circumference of your waist straight around. Take that measurement and round to the nearest inch. This measurement is very important to have a waistband that fits correctly. The waistband is NOT cut at your measurement, your measurement is used to make the correct size for you.
