Ease in Regency Trousers
Hey y'all,
How much positive ease should I be adding for my regency era trousers? A few inches, more? (I would prefer it to be on the side of more ease, but I don't want to go overboard). For reference, I'm looking at the pattern drafting instructions for trousers in this book: https://archive.org/details/tailorlondon00londrich/page/70/mode/2up
The pattern instructions & plates are on pages 70-74. I'm just not sure how much ease to put into it since I don't think they mention anything about that, only giving measurements. (I'm doing a more standard style by the way, not ones with pleats or gathers in). I don't like anything tight on my legs, the only area where I want it tight is the waist. But again, I don't want to drown in a sea of fabric.
Thanks!
