Pleated vs Flat-Front Trousers: The Fields to Lock on the Sample
Pleated or flat-front is a construction field: write pleat count (0, 1 or 2), pleat direction and rise on the brief, then sign them on the sealed sample before bulk from 50. A pleat changes front ease and how the trouser drapes from the waistband.
