Bucco’s Guide To Pant Breaks
#TeachingTuesdays
Let’s attempt to understand what a ‘Break’ in pants is. The break is the fold or bend above the cuff of the leg created when the leg’s fabric is longer than your physical leg.
A full break is when the pant forms a deep crease–the leg breaks so much that any more length may result in a second break. A half, or medium break, is between these extremes–the line of the pant bends conspicuously, but not much. A quarter, or a slight break, is when the trouser meets the shoe and breaks, but only to some extent.
