Men's Sweatpants: OOP Kwik Sew 3663 and McCall's 6973

These patterns, out-of-print (OOP) Kwik Sew 3663 and McCall's 6973, made a re-appearance at the cutting table in order to produce a made-to-order pair of sweatpants.  OOP Kwik Sew 3663 has a great fit.  McCall's 6973 has a cargo pocket that is the cat's meow.  It is the perfect shape and as requested, the pocket was placed on the left front leg.  The pants have an elastic waistband minus the drawstring.  The leg length was also adjusted.  

The fabric is a cozy cotton sweatshirt/pants fabric from the stash.  It was pre-treated with a tumble through the washing machine and dryer before hitting the cutting table.

I thought I would pop back in and reflect on the top ten list for twenty twenty-four.   Oh my goodness,  Vogue 8909 is such a great pattern...
