The pants are finished. I'm satisfied with the result. I think it does look like the original drawing (except for the omitted open slit and the buttons on the front). I do think this would be a great pattern to make in a denim with a contrasting topstitching. Perhaps I'll do that in spring. I like it enough to make it another time, with perhaps a straighter leg. But now, without further ado, a lot of pictures.
And my next project? Certainly something more easy than this.

Amazing, and a just reward for all the hard work you put into reproducing the original. (A song came into my addled brain as I viewed the photographs - Tina Turner's "Simply the best".
