Simplicity 2860
I’m tackling Simplicity 2860 for the second time, this time in denim. This great pattern is worth sharing.
To the right you can see that there are three fit options. Simplicity’s line of Amazing Fit patterns all embrace the fact that we’re not all built the same.

2. When you’re not sure how pants will fit, cut out and stitch a 1″ seam allowance. This pattern already planned that out.
Last year I really struggled with the construction of the fly and overlap. I still don’t understand the overlap, because I omitted it! I really hope someone would tell me when my zipper’s open, anyway. 
You can look at all of Simplicity’s Amazing Fit patterns here. Should I buy that chemical product to make my denim pants look more like worn-in jeans? I’m still deciding.
