Jalie - 4454 - FRANCE Cycling shorts (with or without bib)

Designed for cycling comfort, these shorts feature a waistband reaching the belly button, with choice between waistband (A) or bib (B) style.

The thigh band maintains shorts position while the lack of inner seams reduces chafing and makes chamois insertion easier (the pattern also includes instructions for sewing in a purchased chamois). These shorts also include an inset for contrasting colors. 

This pattern would be lovely made in one of new athletic knits such as:

• Midweight Compression Knit - Burgundy
• Wicking Athletic Double Knit - Black
• Medium-Heavyweight 3x3 Rib Knit - Black
• Midweight Compression Knit - Eggplant
• Midweight Compression Knit - Forest
• Midweight Compression Knit - Charcoal
