Burda Style Pattern 5814 Men's Pants

With the Burda Style Pattern 5814 Men's Pants, you can sew trousers that fit beautifully and feel comfortable to wear. This versatile sewing pattern gives you two looks in one: a long pair of pants with pockets, an elastic waistband and pleats at the knees, plus a modern Bermuda short with belt loops and practical pockets. The stitched seams give both versions a neat, polished finish.

A versatile men's sewing pattern for everyday wear

Whether you want a relaxed pair of trousers for day-to-day wear or a summer-ready short, this pattern gives you both options in one set. The Bermuda shorts can be shortened to suit your style, making it easy to personalise the fit and length. It is a practical choice if you enjoy sewing men's clothing with a clean, contemporary look.

Comfortable and easy to wear

The elastic waist adds comfort, while the pockets and belt loops make the finished garment suitably practical. The knee pleats give the long trousers extra character and a smart-casual feel. For the best result, choose a fabric by the metre with a firm yet supple handle, such as cotton fabric, linen fabric or a light twill.

For sewists with some experience

Burda Style Pattern 5814 is rated intermediate, so it is a good project if you already have some sewing experience and want to make a well-fitting pair of trousers or shorts. It is a strong choice for anyone looking for a dressmaking fabric project that can be adapted for different seasons and styles.

This pattern works especially well in classic, durable fabrics that hold their shape while still wearing comfortably. The result is a pair of men's pants or shorts you can wear again and again.
