If you want welt pockets in the back, you can chose that as an option. +You can also remove the side seam pockets of you'd like that. + + +## Are these just sweat pants? + +They could be. If you make these in a knit, than your could certainly use them as such. But no, they are not designed to be. + +The ones you see in the picture above (full disclosure: I have not taken these off since I've made them) aren't knit either. +Here's a close-up of the woven fabric: + +![Close-up of a woven fabric](https://posts.freesewing.org/uploads/fabric_46633a6dd2.jpg) + +The difference is in the cut — which is a lot more flattering and stylish that your typical sweat pants — and the pockets. +Yes, the pockets. Because pockets are important. + +Both front pockets and (optional) back pockets are anchored at the waist. Which means that you can put things in your +pockets without them becoming unsightly bump that's just dangling around in your trouser leg. + +Convinced yet? Then go make some, and make sure to share your pictures :) +
