New box pleat Gordon by Barb T. :)

It was a bit of an experiment, and I haven't heard back from him about whether it's the right amount of flare or not.

It's just right, I think. I really need to wear it all day to find out for sure, I suppose. But the weather, and deer hunting for a week is making that impossible for the moment. If it were any higher rise, it would not be enough flare, but with the 2-1/2" rise, it works out fine.

My wife thinks it looks good, so I think it is spot on.

If it isn't enough, it's not all that hard to fix. I'd just take off the lining and the top band and stretch it a bit more while I'm putting the top band back on. Just let me know!
