Jordan is a callback to vintage overalls with a cropped bib and straight-back shoulder straps. They only require buttons for hardware, and the elastic back waistband makes them easy to pull on and comfortable to wear. The Jordan overalls are full of pockets, including an optional patch pocket on the bib, slash pockets and welt pockets. With straight-leg pants, you can choose short, cropped, or full-length hem. Some variations to this pattern could be crossing the back straps or replacing the buttons for overall hardware!

Fabric Recommendations
Choose anything from a light to heavyweight fabric with no stretch; woven fabrics are recommended for this pattern, but stretch denim will work as well. If choosing a stretch denim with 5% stretch you can consider sizing down for a tighter fit. Some examples of fabrics include a blend of wools, linens, duck canvas, cotton twills, or denim.
Notions
Interfacing: 3/4 yard or meter of lightweight interfacing for all sizes will be needed for the waistband, straps, welt pockets and optionally the bib.
