The Pattern
The full-body utility step in the Workwear System
Bib + Trouser
Skill Level 4 / 5
1 Service Dungarees
This pattern teaches the foundations of dungaree construction: bib shaping, brace straps, chest pocket systems, trouser assembly, double-knee reinforcement, hardware placement, waistband finishing, pocket construction, rivets, topstitching, and managing heavier fabrics across a larger garment.
Sits after the Field Apron, Yard Carpenters and Yard Jacket in the Workwear System — the point where trouser construction, hardware, pocket systems, straps and reinforcement combine into one proper working garment. Not a costume or fashion version of workwear — a practical, repairable garment that gets better the more it's used.
Course & Tutorials
Build-along support for the full build
Tutorial resources cover the important areas of the build — bib construction, strap assembly, chest pockets, trouser pockets, double-knee reinforcement, hardware placement, topstitching, stress-point reinforcement and final finishing.
Skill Level
Skill Level 4 / 5
Ideal if you're confident with basic garment construction and want to build a more serious workwear project. The challenge here isn't confusion — it's structure, accuracy, fabric handling, hardware placement, and keeping everything clean across a larger build.

The knees will crease. The pockets will shape around what you carry. The straps will soften. The canvas will fade. Repairs, patches, rivets and marks become part of the garment, not damage to it.
Fabric Guidance
Built for durable workwear fabrics
Designed around fabrics that can handle abrasion, stress, kneeling, layering, washing, fading and repair. Inside the pattern resources you'll get fabric recommendations, weight guidance, hardware notes, strap guidance and sourcing support.
Recommended fabrics
- Duck canvas
- Workwear canvas
- Heavy cotton drill
- Cotton twill
- Denim
- Hickory stripe for lighter workshop versions
Heavier fabrics create a more structured, traditional work dungaree. Midweight fabrics create a softer version that's easier to sew, layer and wear daily.
Printing Correctly
📐 Printing Box
- Files included for A0, A4 and US Letter
- Print at 100% / actual size — never "scale to fit" (print guide included)
- Measure the 2" × 2" test square before cutting any fabric (has to be perfect)
- Print from a laptop/computer for the most reliable print settings
- A0 files can be taken to a local print shop
- Bullseye corner tiling system included for easier home printing
- Printed & Shipped is also available if you'd rather skip tiling & sticking at home
📎 Tiling Pages?
If you're printing at home on A4 or US Letter, your pages need tiling and sticking together before cutting fabric. Full instructions — tiling, sticking, cutting and pre-production — are covered on the Help page.
Open Help PageSeam Allowance
✂️ Seam Allowance Box
- Every Roughcut pattern (except a few early patterns like the Ushanka Cap and Duffle Bag) already has 1/4" seam allowance built in
- Cut directly on the pattern line — no need to add anything
- Hems, pockets, flat-felled seams and hardware areas may use different allowances — these are stated in the tutorial
- If unsure, refer to the tutorial before cutting
⚠ First Build? Read This First
- Buy a little extra fabric — mistakes happen while learning, and there's no room for re-cutting otherwise
- Don't cut your final fabric until your test square is correct
- Watch the tutorial before cutting into good fabric
- Use scrap or cheap test fabric to practise tricky steps if unsure
