Version A/B Sizing: I purchased the PDF which has a size range of 34-52, corresponding to a 33-47” hip measurement.   My body measurements would put me at a size 42 grading to a size 46 hip but based on the finished measurements I cut a size 42 graded to a size 44 hip.   I really didn’t want to try and grade two sizes through that style of trouser, even though it’s how I grade my jeans. Fabric: Recommended fabrics are lightweight denim, linen, wax, lightweight twill, lightweight gabardine, double gauze, lightweight jacquard, wool blends.
