Bottoms are our speciality. Trousers, skirts, shorts: our machines, templates and hands are tuned to them. A waistband that doesn't roll, a fly that lies flat, a pocket that doesn't gape, a sharp crease, an even hem.

The fit library.

Ten fits we sew every day. Each one is a starting point: we adjust rise, length, width, waistband and pockets to your brand.

From pattern to carton.

  1. The reference pair

    The reference pair

    A tech pack, a sketch, or just a pair you love. We note what must stay and what must change.

  2. The pattern

    The pattern

    We draft the pattern, then grade it across your full size range. Every size is checked flat before cutting.

  3. The sample

    The sample

    A first pair, sewn the way it will be in production. You try it on, we correct rise, thigh and length.

  4. Cutting

    Cutting

    Marker, spreading and cutting size by size. Fabric consumption is fixed before we start, so the price doesn't move.

  5. Sewing

    Sewing

    A line set up for trousers: waistband, fly, pockets and hems each have their own station and template.

  6. Checking

    Checking

    Measurements on every size, piece-by-piece visual check, crease pressing, folding and packing to your instructions.

Men's and women's.

Men's trousers come down to rise and how the crease holds. Women's trousers and skirts come down to the hips and the drape. We know both.

Questions we get asked.

What is your speciality?

Bottoms, for men and women: trousers, skirts, shorts and bermudas. Specialising is what lets us make them better: our templates, machine settings and teams are built around them.

What is cut-make-trim?

It is our speciality. You send us your fabric and trims, we handle the rest: pattern, grading, sample, cutting, sewing, finishing, inspection and packing.

What is your minimum order?

It depends on the style and fabric. Send us your quantities per size and colour and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.

Can you start from an existing pair?

Yes. We measure a reference pair, draft a pattern from it, then make a sample for you to approve before production.

Are you audited?

Yes. Kline Confection is SMETA audited (Sedex), the ethical and social audit standard European brands ask for. The report is available on request.

Do you grade patterns?

Yes, across your full size range, men's or women's, in EU, UK or US sizing.

Do you work with brands abroad?

Yes, mainly in Europe. Our workshop is in La Soukra, a few minutes from Tunis-Carthage airport. We work in French or English and ship with export paperwork.

Send us a pair.

The pair you love, the pair that doesn't hang right, or just a photo and your measurements. We come back with a pattern, a sample and a price.
