The Protea Pant is a modern trouser with chic front pleats, sweeping pant legs, and a curved waistband. It offers two ways of sewing the waistband — the first is better for light- to midweight fabrics and if you like the look of topstitching, and the second is for mid- to heavyweight fabrics, or if you prefer a clean, more traditional trouser waistband.
View A has pleats in front.
View B has a flat front.

Fabric Recommendations:
These trousers will have a completely different look depending on the fabric you choose. A light, drapey fabric will look lovely and flowy. A mid-weight cotton/linen will look relaxed and cool. Or you can choose a mid- to heavyweight for a chic winter pant.
Suitable fabrics include: Rayon/Tencel/Lyocell twill, challis or crepe, Linen, Linen blend, Cotton, Lightweight to heavyweight Wool, Corduroy, Denim, Silk, Satin.
Note: You won’t need pocket lining fabric or pocket facing if using lightweight fabric — in that case you can use your main fabric.
