This is my 5th pair of Flint pants! As you can tell I LOVE this pattern. It is so cool and modern with just the right amount of details. As I made this pair in a stripe fabric I played with it to create more details but they are still subtle and do not overwhelm.

I made a contrasting hem detail and also changed the direction of stripes at the pockets. I really like these details and the amount of fun you can have with stripes. You can tune it to your needs and go all stripe clashing or do as little as possible and let the stripes talk for themselves. I like both options depending on the pattern and fabric.
The fabric is a wool suiting I got at a local store and it is just yummy! I saw Flint pants in my head the moment I saw the fabric on the shelf. They are warm and perfect for this time of year. The fabric frayed, so I zigzagged all edges to keep it from making a total mess in my sewing corner. This is maybe the most work appropriate pair of Flints I have. I always wanted to have a pair of pants in wool suiting and these may not be my last. Sewing makes dreams come true and that is THE BEST! I have styled them here with a Named Clothing Paola turtleneck tee in grey polka dot Ponte di roma I blogged about before here.

As I already wrote about these pants, I will shortly mention what I love about this pattern. They are easy to wear and are so comfortable. The wide leg is so IN right now and the fact that I can make them myself in any colour or print I want is just beyond cool. The pants have innovative closure on the side with a button and optional bow. I made all of mine with a bow. Because – bow! But I have seen other sewists making them in a sailor vibe with buttons and that looks great too. Maybe I will make sailor shorts for next summer to finally make a pair without the bow.
