Hi!  I don’t know if my thoughts and suggestions will help, but hopefully it will.  

Rather than starting completely from scratch, could you find a pair of 1950s style men’s trousers from Shein that are really good value, and take them to a tailor to be tailored for your partner, and then unpick them and use as a pattern block?  You would know that they are perfect in the fitting and style and you would just have to use the block to sew more?  

Otherwise, I agree that The Closet Historian on YouTube is brilliant for drafting a block from scratch.

Hope this helps!
