Short answer
Thigh room drafted and the knee tapered back — strong legs, clean line.
Why it happens
Athletic thigh volume beyond the trouser block.
Why ready-to-wear cannot fix it
Size charts grade uniformly; muscular thighs is a personal geometry. A block adjusted in one place pulls in another — which is why the correction must exist in the pattern, not in the fitting-room mirror.
How the house drafts for it
Thigh room drafted and the knee tapered back — strong legs, clean line. The correction is recorded in your Fit Passport, so every later commission starts from it automatically.
Where it matters most
This correction carries most for: trousers. It is reviewed at every fitting, in every city, for every garment.
