If you lower the rise, I would not change the pocket, so I would copy the old pocket cut out on your new altered piece. I have made my husband six pairs of Iron joggers and they are his favorite because he loves to wear them low too and still feel comfortable. I don’t have to alter these for his rise. You are right about all the fabric choices available now! Bamboo fleece sounds like a very good choice!

Hello! Making joggers used to be so easy..I’m feeling anxious at all the fabric choices now available! Do you have an article on what is available and why I should use it? I am interested in how you made your husband’s pants. I recently made some for my son-in-law. He too likes to wear them low. The first pair I made were too high so I lowered the front and back rise by 5”. I’m sure you can guess the result🤔plumbers pants🙈. I bought a new pattern that seemed to have a lower rise but were very baggy. I still had to lower it but then there was the issue of how to get the slash pocket to fit..I don’t know how to redraft it. I have yet a third pattern and some bamboo fleece waiting but I am feeling anxious over trying to start it. Do you have any advice, tips or techniques for lowering the rise and fitting in the pocket? You have a beautiful family! Thanks for sharing them💕
