What makes a fabric suitable for trousers?
Look for recovery at seat and knee, opacity, crease or soft break behaviour as designed. Trouser cloths are usually mid weight and up. Lightweight cloths can work for soft summer trousers if opacity and recovery hold.
How do I know if a fabric is truly opaque?
Test the intended colourway against light, seated and stretched where the garment will strain. Pale dyes reveal gaps denser colours hide.
How should I continue after reading about fabric for trousers?
Use the trousers brief on this page, then open a fabric page. Prioritise recovery and opacity. A beautiful soft shirt cloth often fails as a trouser cloth.
