Take leg width into account for Trent

[PD75]

I usually wear tapered trousers with my suit, but when I made a prototype of theo it ripped over my thighs. I checked and it seems it does not take the tigh size into account. I will check theodore unfortunately I do not have any good trousers to check against since I lost a lot of weight, so I will need to do another pilot.

Theo and Theodore implement the Aldrich draft, which does not take thigh measurement into account. While I guess it's possible in principle to adapt it, I think it's better to try to facilitate this in Trent.

Trent is a new trouser block I am working on because I'm not very happy with the Aldrich draft.
While I don't plan to take the thigh width into account for Trent either (trousers aren't supposed to fit the thigh in the classic sense of the word, just as they don't fit your knees) I will look into making the leg width adaptable.

This way, you should be able to draft Trent with a wider leg to adapt to your needs.

I understand this doesn't solve your problem right now, but I do believe it's the best solution in the long term, as a better base block will allow for a wider variety of trouser patterns.

I am keeping this open to remind me, and have updated the title accordingly.

The lack of fitting is what makes mens clothes to challenging. Sewing a ballgown is all about fitting it to the body, piece of cake compared to a mans t-shirt in my experience :-)

I got Theodore paperless and measured against my old pants that are too large and it looks promising. Easier to take in then add material.

I had issues with redraft with Wahid as well, but deleted the draft and switched to pants (lack of good looking pants is more urgent then a vest).
