Breeches were worn by both military and civilians in the 1700s. Usually made of broadcloth or linen, they were also worn in leather and were buttoned or buckled just below the knee or tied with a draw string. In the fur trade the legs were extended but pants kept the drop front, the full gathered seat and gussets in the back of the waistband.

Variations are given for knee closing and leg length.

This pattern is easy to use and comes with a glossary of terms and a section on "Working with Leather" so that almost any one will be comfortable using it.

The patterns are printed on paper for more durability.
