The Flâneur Pants| Friday Pattern Company | Sewing Pattern

The Flâneur Pants are a wide-leg, mid-rise pant for all your adventures—perfect for both strolling through the countryside and exploring a new city. They feature a zip fly with a flat front and elasticated back. They do not have a side seam, making them easier to cut and sew, as well as ideal for sewing with prints. Store your treasures in patch pockets on the side and back. The fit is comfortable and flexible—size up for a relaxed, slightly oversized pant or size down for a more fitted silhouette.

Flâneur is a French term that was popularized in the 19th century to describe someone who wanders for enjoyment, typically in an urban setting—a person who saunters about town observing and exploring without a specific purpose.
