Front Patterns for Men

There are two possible considerations for the front patterns for men. For many men the front of the body is basically straight up and down and does not need darts for shaping. This is true even for some obvious stomachs. This is because men's garments are commonly not shaped from the stomach to the crotch. However some men can have a distinctly pronounced stomach which can require special shaping for garments that are not going to be tucked into pants.
