Inspired by a genius songwriter with timeless style, Mitchell is a modern interpretation of a classic pleated trouser. Elegant and comfortable with very special details, they are destined to become your new favourite bottoms.
The Mitchell Trousers are high-waisted with a fly front zipper and a comfy hidden waistband facing for a sleek continuous silhouette through the rise–choose between a hidden pants hook and bar or classic button closure. Deep pleats in the front enclose a unique angled pocket. Darts shape the back, with optional back welt pockets. View A features a tapered leg ending at the ankle. View B features a full-length wide leg and adjustable waist straps secured with D-rings or sliders.

How do I download my PDF Pattern?
First, we suggest creating an account in our shop so you can access all your files in one place at any time!
After you place an order, you will land on a page with a custom download link. You can download your pattern then, or use the link included in the order confirmation sent via email. If you don’t receive a download link via email, please check your junk mail as it may have been rerouted (and add us to your safe senders list so it doesn't happen again!)
Am I charged for taxes?
All Canadians are charged GST and possibly PST depending on where they live in Canada. We do not charge taxes in the US.
Customers based in the EU and UK will also be charged VAT on all goods. Regulations have changed in recent years requiring VAT to be collected based on where the customer resides (and not where the company is located) so we are legally required to collect and remit VAT even though our company is based in Canada. You can read more about the VAT regulations here.
What currency will I be charged in?
Use the dropdown at the top of our menu to choose USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, or EUR dollars to view prices and checkout in the currency of your choice.
For AUD, GBP, and EUR currencies, the price you'll see is linked to the daily exchange rate between USD and your currency, which means prices may fluctuate. For our Canadian customers, we have established set prices that will not vary with exchange rates.

Customer Reviews
Can’t wait to make these stylish pants.
Made a muslin, and followed directions for alterations, and they FIT!!!
Amazing.
This is a repeat and TNT from now on.
Still need the “How to” class, to prevent mistakes (galaore, like putting in belt backward, LOL), but so amazing…I now have confidence in sewing the pants.
Looking to make the sasha for a “tailored” suit.
The style of this pattern is particularly beautiful, I’ve made 2 already ready to make a third. Perfect fit for me, I was careful to take measurements. Sizing is the same as my RTW. But the special thing about this range of patterns was the very helpful video tutorials you could watch and work along with, imbedded right in the pattern instructions. All ensuring a happy satisfying result. Thank you!
As soon as Closet Core launched this pattern, I knew I had to have it. I absolutely love the trousers. They were a relatively easy make. The instructions were perfect, and the blog post about grading sizes was very helpful too. I shall be making more of these. Thank you. Lovely Pattern
The wide-legged pants I have been searching for. I have checked out many other patterns online, bought some, just to realize they didn’t have the fit and style Mitchells do. I already have fabric to make two more pairs (summer and autumn/winter) and am actively scouting other fabrics. The fit on these is beautiful for me - the waistband hits at the right place and everything flows from there.
I made my first pair in cotton canvas, and they’re great as a more casual look. Next up is linen, followed by brushed cotton.
I really love how it all turned out. I made the tapered version of the Mitchell trousers in a medium-weight linen. The trousers look both classy and sporty. The fit is very comfortable because of the ease around the legs, whereas the tight fit in the waist prevents it from looking too baggy. I had to adjust the pattern because of my length (1.61 m) and graded between seize 6 (hips) to 2-4 (waist). The instructions were very elaborate and clear. I'm definitely going to sew these trousers again in an other kind of fabric, maybe with some pattern hacks. It was a real pleasure to sew, thank you!
