Men's yoga pants

I need yoga pants. I'd like to make them. All the patterns I can find look really girly to me. It's been a while since I've done clothing, and don't have much of a head for men's stuff (ironically). Anybody have any patterns/ideas/mad skillz that would help here? I like the look of the longer linen/hemp ones, but am not willing to drop $100 on a pair of pants to wear an hour a week.

You could always modify one of the girly patterns by making it a little straighter and less curved through the hips. Take a regular men's pants pattern and simplify it to make it yoga pants. Use a pair of workout pants you already own as a pattern. Or you could buy some cheap muslin and start piecing it together to make a pattern for yourself. The most difficult part about pants is the fit but yoga pants are forgiving so it should make it a little easier for you.

hope this helps!

Find a good PJ or sweatpant pattern and use a more suitable fabric.
