JP Ryan Fall Front Breeches PatternFall front breeches became fashionable after the mid-18th century. They're quite similar to fly front breeches, with the exception of the method of front closure. These breeches have a shaped waistband which ties over a center back gusset. The seat is full, the legs tight with sufficient fullness through the crotch for freedom of movement. The front rise is short, with the waistband fitting around the hips. The knee-band is designed for buckles, the pockets extend under the front fall, and there is a watch pocket in the waistband. This original JP Ryan Fall Front Breeches Pattern is based on originals in the collections of Colonial Williamsburg, The National Museum of American History, and the Museum of the City of London. Because the waist for the JP Ryan Fall Front Breeches Pattern is designed to mimic an original pair, measure your waist below the belly button, at the top of the hip bone, and order by this waist measurement.
