Suitable fabrics: The Daphne Trouser works very well in structured heavy to mid weight twills, drills, denims and canvas fabrics. Tougher fabrics will give you a closer fit to the body (although before starting check you can easily sew through 5 layers of the fabric) and lighter twills and denims are lovely in the summer as the lighter weight fabrics will give you a slightly looser fit.

Fabric requirements: Modern Sewing Co.'s lay-plans are always done on a single layer of fabric to reduce wastage.
