A while ago I found myself in need of some new swim trunks. So I drafted a pattern and made some:

An early tryout of the Shin
pattern

I asked if people would be interested in a pattern like this, and turns out that yes, they were.

So, after some more tweaking, I think this is ready for you guys, and meanwhile Roy has already provided an illustration for it too.

I'll be the first to admit that this guy wears it better than
me

Options and documentation available

Shin comes with options, and they are very close to the options available for Bruce.

All options are documented, as are the required measurements, and I’ve also written instructions for how to make this.

I still have to do the illustrations, but it’s really not hard so you’ll probably figure it out without them. Essentially, you can go and make this right now.

Enjoy!
