This is my test version of Simplicity 9376.

I had this crazy idea to not only test the pattern out with more width at the ankle along the side seams but to also add a cargo pocket.

Honestly I ran out of the beige fabric so I used a dark navy blue fabric for the back pants.

All these fabrics and notions are from my stash.

About that cargo pocket…
The pocket bag is 3 times the depth of the pocket flap. I drafted this pattern based on my phone size and place the pocket just under the end of the side pocket of the pants pattern.

When sewing the external pocket onto these pants, I pinned the pants pocket out of the sewing area of the external cargo pocket.

Simplicity 9376 trouser modifications:

4cm width added to the ankle point and then 2cm wider at the waist of the outer trouser seam on both the front and back trouser pattern pieces. I also added 2cm on the front and back waistband patterns.
Added 3cm length at the centre back seam and tapered this to zero at the side seam.
Removed 3cm length at the centre front seam and tapered this to zero at the side seam.
I added more height to the pocket pieces as well, but only about 2cm at most, so I could fiddle with the waistband later.
Removed 3cm from the elastic used in the back waistband. This amount was removed when I tried on the first pair of trousers. I don’t have any explanation why except that the elastic I used may be softer than the elastic used to design this pattern.

Floral top:
The top is a new one made from fabric from Julia Allisson Cost. She uses her floral paintings and prints them on various textile substrates. As is always the case, I didn’t buy enough for a long sleeve tee so again I used grey fabric from my stash for the sleeves.
