The New Found Thread Optimized Fit

Built to look better on more body types

The New Found Thread Optimized Fit

We adjust the proportions of every size—not just the scale—so our pants keep a clean, balanced shape from waist 30 through 42.

The difference is proportion

Not simply scaled. Intentionally fitted.

Most sizing systems start with one pattern and make every measurement larger or smaller by a similar amount. Bodies do not change that way.

Our optimized fitting system adjusts the waist, seat, rise, thigh and leg opening together, with targeted changes where each size needs them. The goal is simple: comfort where you need it and a cleaner line everywhere else.

Fit that works together

Room to move. Nothing extra.

Each measurement affects the next. We refine the full pattern so the pants can move naturally without sagging through the seat, pulling through the thigh, or carrying excess fabric down the leg.

How we build the fit

One system. Every size considered.

The intended silhouette should remain recognizable across the size range. That requires decisions at every point in the pattern.

01

Proportional grading

Key garment measurements are adjusted together so the shape stays balanced.

02

Targeted adjustments

The rise, seat, thigh and leg are refined where different body proportions need room.

03

Fit evaluation

We review how the pants sit, move and maintain the intended silhouette.

04

Fabric behavior

Stretch, recovery and drape are considered so the pattern works with the material.

The result

A cleaner look on more body types.

Optimized Fit is designed to preserve the character of the pant across sizes: balanced proportions, comfortable movement and a clean silhouette.

  • Less unnecessary fabric through the leg
  • Appropriate room through the seat and thigh
  • A consistent shape from waist 30 through 42
