Mustard corduroy ginger jeans

I’ve been hankering for some mustard coloured trousers for a while now. Funnier whims have overcome me. Anyway when I saw this Dashwood Studio stretch corduroy at Guthrie & Ghani I knew it was destined to be my next pair of Ginger Jeans. I studiously ordered a sample just to be sure though. It’s super soft and has 30% stretch.

After my last pair of Ginger Jeans, I decided to try sewing the size 12 and dutifully based it all together to check the fit. Many of the problems I initially had last time (such as drag lines under the bum and front crotch) were absent. But I decided it was a tiny bit tight across hips and thighs, so I tried it it with a1/2″ seam allowance on the outside seams (instead of the 5/8″ seam allowance) which worked a treat.

Quite frankly these trousers make me so happy every time I put them on. They are comfortable. I love looking down at them. They FEEL great. And yes, they bright (though I’m sure they’re not quite as bright as these pictures indicate).
