I spent the last couple of days sewing pants for my youngest son. The pattern is an ancient New Look 6853 that I bought a number of years ago, but it is now out of print and the number 6853 is assigned to a women's pattern.
The gray ones are a nice heavyweight stretch twill, perfect for winter. The olive green are a slightly lighter weight, but a very nice 100% cotton twill. I drafted and added some expanding cargo pockets to the green ones, which I'm sure my son will love.
This pants pattern is delightfully simple if you want a pattern that is pretty quick to pop together and you have kids that like an elastic waist. The front pockets aren't super deep, but they are adequate for a few matchbox cars or army guys.
I have two more versions of these pants cut out for my son, a pair in black and a pair in brown. I hope to get them finished before the day is done. Then he'll have four new pairs of pants and I can get started on making something for me :-)
