Alexandria peg trousers & track shorts
Sizes: EUR 32-50 | US 0-18 | UK 4-22 | Size chart
The Alexandria sewing pattern includes two variations: Casual peg trousers and relaxed shorts with high-low legs. Both styles have a regular rise and an elastic waist with a drawstring closure. The fit is loose and relaxed, and there are four pleats at the front waist. The simple curved front pocket openings are partly hidden under the pleat, which is a nice little detail in these otherwise simple and casual pants. There are optional patch pockets at the back.
