Magnoli cotton trousers - review

I don't have any pics to share yet, but I wanted to post a brief review of the Magnoli cotton trousers.

These are very nice cotton trousers, made to your measurements. I previously bought a pair of the Magnoli trousers in Merino wool, and was very happy with those, so I decided to buy a pair of the cotton trousers. The fit is excellent. These are very well made trousers (as are the Merino wool version. I also have a pair of the Wested trousers, which I like very much. The cotton Magnolis feel a bit heavier and sturdier that either the Westeds or the wool Magnolis -- they feel like they'd take more abuse. They feel like you could wear these more on a day to day basis than the Westeds or the wool Magnolis (although I wear those often, as well).

I've washed them once, and hung them to dry. They came through beautifully.

I bought the cotton trousers in the Golden Rod color Magnoli offers. They're pretty close in color to the Westeds, with a slight golden undertone the Westeds don't have.

I like the fact the cotton trousers have deeper side pockets. I can stick more stuff in them than I can in the Westeds' pockets, or in the Magnoli wool pants, for that matter. Both pair of Magnolis also have a sort of rubberized non-slip strip on the inside of the waist band on the left and right sides of the pants to keep your shirt tucked in.

Both pair of the Magnolis come with the generous hem for screen accuracy (and to keep the hem from catching on the hooks on the Alden boots).

Anyone who has read my posts on Magnoli's props knows I'm a big fan of that part of Magnoli's business. Now, I'm also a fan of the clothing side of his operation, too. Both pair of pants are great, and I'm looking forward to buying one of his shirts as well.

I was wondering, did he say if a watch pocket can be added to these trousers, or do they come with one?

They don't come with a watch pocket as "standard equipment," but I'll bet Magnoli would be willing to work with you to add one (although I guess I should let him speak for himself

)

Michaelson... for you, I'd add a third pant leg if you needed one.

Uh, thanks....a watch pocket would be all I'd require, thank you.

So... People are covering up their camera tripods now?
Socks for golf clubs, cardigans for dogs... Where will it end.

Why? Do you want a replica of that too?

Jeez, a guy checks out a thread to get some information about Magnoli's clothing and winds up running into a battle of double entendres.

Does this mean we can give Michaelson the nickname "Tripod?"

And I ain't touchin' that "Pandora's Box" line.

Cheers!

You sound like one of my wife's students. ("He STARTED it!"). If you don't straighten up I'll take 10 points off your grade for the semester. Or would you like to go to Saturday school?

Cheers!
