MS 23-001 1937 Denim Pattern | Pro Bundle PDF DXF GERBER
-
This style is a reproduction of a Great Depression-era 1937 jeans model. It features a cinch back but no suspender buttons, true to the original. It has a one-piece fly pattern instead of a regular fly, and an extra facing pattern piece on the pocket (which you can choose not to use).
-
A straight fit through the seat and thigh, with a straight leg, sitting at the waist. These 1937 jeans have a rounded top block, a straight leg, and a straight side seam, and the pattern is made for use with selvedge denim.
This pattern is from the era of Shrink-To-Fit denim. Please note: this jean fits like most Shrink-To-Fit blocks (vanity sizing), so if you wear a size 32 waist in a Japanese repro brand or one of the Big 3 (Levi’s, Lee or Wrangler), consider buying one size bigger.
The original that Mohsin traced was a 30-inch waist, graded to multiple sizes after tracing: 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, and 36.
Check the measurements carefully — compare them with a pair you own that fits you well, measured laid flat on the floor or a table.
-
All raw denim will shrink after washing — roughly two inches at the waist and two inches in length. This is only a guide, as all fabrics behave differently and shrink differently after washing. We recommend washing a 1m × 1m test piece of denim in a washing machine and measuring it before and after to see how much your fabric shrinks. Or simply wash your fabric before making your garment, knowing you will lose the raw denim look. Raw denim colour may transfer onto other surfaces.
