How to make a Hollywood waistband trouser (Grown-on / whole-top waistband) | Trouser features

This is a guide to sewing a tailored trouser with a Hollywood waistband. Also called the grown-on or whole-top waistband. Different to the method I normally use to make trousers the waistband is not a separate piece of cloth, rather the trouser legs continue to the top of where the waistband would be and folds over to finish the top edge. The way I do this is making it with a sewn-in waistband canvas - Ban-roll - and then hand sew the lining in. You should be able to interpret how to make a machined lining though. The two main distinctions are how the fly is made and how the waistband canvas is added and then lined. Find the written guide at tailorsperks.co.uk If this is the first of my guides you’re seeing I am a training tailor making guides to as many parts of bespoke tailoring as I can for you to learn as well. I suggest referencing earlier content to better frame what I might do differently. There are fewer bespoke resources and it’s a different process to production garment making.
