Why this one is different

Sweatpants, specified

Bottoms are specified from the waist down and behave nothing like a top. The waistband needs two measurements — relaxed and stretched — because a single number tells a factory nothing about the elastic. Front and back rise are different from each other, and getting them equal is a classic way to produce trousers nobody wants to sit down in.

Inseam, thigh and leg opening then set the leg shape, and the ankle cuff has its own height row because a cuffed jogger and an open hem are not the same garment.

The bottoms block — relaxed AND stretched waist, separate front and back rise, drawn cuffed and uncuffed.

Measurements in this pack are drafted from published industry sizing (EN 13402-3 body girths; Craft Yarn Council body lengths) with standard ease for the stated fit class. They are a production-ready standard block, not White Cotton house measurements. Confirm the graded spec against your own fit sample before bulk production.

FAQ

Before you buy

Why two waist measurements?+

Relaxed tells the factory how the waistband finishes; stretched tells them how much give the elastic must have. A spec with only one of the two is the reason joggers arrive either loose at rest or impossible to pull on.

Cuffed or open hem?+

The pack draws both. The ankle cuff height is a specified row on the cuffed version; keep the silhouette you are producing and delete the other.

What do I actually receive?+

A vector PDF and an .ai file, by email, immediately after payment. Both open and edit in Illustrator, Affinity or CorelDRAW — nothing is flattened or locked.

Can I use it with any factory?+

Yes. The document is yours and carries no supplier details — no address, no contact, nothing that ties it to us. It is drawn to industry convention so any factory can read it.

Are the measurements already filled in?+

Yes, as a production-ready standard block graded XS–XXL with tolerances, drawn from published industry sizing. It is a starting point you overwrite to match your own fit sample — the pack says so on the page. Your own fields (brand, style code, season, colourway names, artwork) arrive marked [FILL IN] in red so nothing ships carrying someone else's data.
