My "Improvement" to Men's Pants Pattern Draft

Pants made from pattern drafted according to the original trousers pattern draft instructions don't fit me very well. The main issue is the pants front seems a little bit flatter than "store bought" pants and feels a little constricted. I like a bit more room out front. I make the following change to the front pattern piece:
  • Cut along the 10 - 11 line.
  • Pivoting on point 11, spread the front (at point 10) by 1/2".
