For info, the picture of mine you shared was my first attempt at Propercloth trousers and I have made several changes since then, those in the pic came out too slim for my liking and the hip measurement was too small causing the smaller pleat to splay open.

I would say your trousers need to be made fuller, at least an inch if not more adding to the half measurements to get them to fall and drape cleanly.

For reference, my leg opening is almost 9" vs your 7.7 which is incredibly narrow looking at the size of your feet.

Have you compared the measurements on a well-fitting pair of trousers to what PC made? I'd say you need more than an inch for the PC trousers to drape decently, and I agree with dapperclassic that the cuff width is too small for your feet.

If the goal is to have the pant drape clean/straight down the back I would agree with the others - you'll want considerably more added to thigh, knee and leg opening. Consider going closer to 13.5 thigh, 10.5 knee and 8.5 leg opening. I'd also question increasing hip width 0.7, but there could be things I am not seeing - or comfort could be an issue.

Thank you for your advice @dapperclassic @philosophe and @Seph . Based on your insights I ordered a remake with the below result.

Waist Width15
Hip Width20.8
Thigh Width13.5
Knee Width10.5
Leg Opening Width8.5
Front Rise11.2
Back Rise16.2
Inseam Length28.6
Total Length38.3

I would be grateful for any further advice on how to tweak these for a remake.

What shoes are those?

(Also, pants turned out much better)
