There are a couple of things I want to change/tweak.
1) The center back needs to come up about an inch
2) The waist band is a little too snug and too high, so I think I will switch to a contoured waistband
3) I think I need to lengthen the legs, I have not hemmed the pants yet and there is not much to play with once I put I the shoes I want to wear them with.
4) I want to wear the pants around tomorrow to see if I think they are comfortable to walk and sit in. I guess the sitting will not be great because the waistband is a bit tight. But I want to make sure that there is enough walking room in the front legs.
5) I am not happy with the pockets - I designed them myself and boy can you tell. They pull at the waistband and you can see the pocket lining from the front of the pants. This may be partially due to the material I have used but I also think the length I have them at is just right (or wrong). I think I will take the Jalie pockets from the pants I made and configure those to work with these pants.
WIth the mild success of these pants, I went to the fabic store and purchased some new fabric to create a few more pairs of pants!!!! After that, I'm on to the bodice sloper. Lord help me.

I think you got a good fit with these.
Oh my gosh! That is/was so much work! They look great though. As for me, I think I'm sticking to RTW LOL!
Ok, now I read to the end of the posts.... Nice trousers! They're looking good.
Yes, these are the best fit so far. I am currently on a pants quest as well. I find that pockets rarely look as good as I'd like them to, so I'm leaving them off of my next few pair.
these are incredible! a real work of art!
