The Nehalem is based on the traditional Thai fisherman’s trousers worn by fishermen in Eastern Asia. The traditional trousers is a one-size-fits-all, very baggy, loose-fitting pant that is wrapped and tied to fit. While still a loose-fitting wrap, the Nehalem has been slimmed down a bit and has been graded to better fit your size. The back rise of the trousers is not as baggy as a traditional fisherman trousers as it has a bit of a curve to its rise - for a more attractive and fitted back view.

The Nehalem skirt is a take on the fisherman trousers as well. It also wraps and ties to make for an easy fitting, easy to wear piece. It features oversized side patch pockets, vertical front and back seaming and a wide waistband that can be folded down or worn upright and tied. The skirts feature an above the knee version and a tea length version. No closures to sew.

The Nehalem trousers feature oversized side patch pockets, vertical back seaming and a wide waistband that can be worn upright or folded down and tied. The pants feature cropped and long versions. No closures to sew.

All versions have 2 options for the waistband construction. There is a double layered, more finished waistband construction (option #1) or a single layer, longer (option #2) that is less bulky.

Make any view up in a luxurious fabric and wear it with heels for a dressed up look, try lightweight denim for a new take on jeans or sew it in funky printed cotton and it just may become your favourite loungewear piece. The trousers are less bulky and a bit more slimming if sewn in a fabric with some drape such as denim Tencel. The skirt, on the other hand, works great in a fabric with more body. However you make your Nehalem, the creative dressing options are endless with this pattern.

Recommended fabrics

Light to mid-weight woven fabrics that are not too sheer such as chambray, denim (that's not too stiff), Tencel, rayon challis, linen and most cotton wovens. Some drape in the fabric is advised for the trousers. Quilting cotton for the loungewear - pyjama look.
