Just got these 5 minutes ago. They are Magnoli's 100% English Wool Indy pants, tailor made.
The fit is dead on perfect. I mean they nailed it. An extra 1/2" here or there and they wouldn't fit, they're that perfectly tailored.
The back pockets have a nice point on them, the fabric is so soft I can hardly believe that it's 100% wool.
His tailors coudn't do the diagonal stitch above the back pockets (I asked). This is just how they feel comfortable making them. No big deal.
They do not have a crease ironed into them which is good. If I want one I can add it later.
Also included is a tall (2") hem.
Very nice pants and they were delivered far ahead of schedule.
These photographed alot greyer than they really are. In person they are a camel color medium brown.
Thanks again Indy!

Well as finished as you can get in this hobby!

Here's pics of the pants outside, slightly overcast, no flash.

And here's the swatch from Magnoli's website which is just about exactly how it looks in real life-

so what color did you order? I am thinking of getting some myself, but in the wool blend.

Magnoli only has one color in the 100% English Wool. If you want a different color, you need to get the blend or the cotton. The blend with the same color name is lighter than the 100% wool, but still a good color. My advice; as Magnoli for swatches of the blend in Dark Khaki and the next two darker colors.

Chewbacca is right. The 100% English wool only comes in the color shown.
Asking for samples is a great idea.

Magnoli doesn't really have anything quite the same color as the 100% English wool in any of his other fabrics.

The English wool is slightly less gray than the "correct" color, but it's the only fabric Magnoli offers that has enough true brown in it to be a contender, IMO.

In case anyone missed it in one of the other threads, here's a bunch of Magnoli's swatches on top of a pair of Wested pants. The English wool is the bottom swatch, second column from the left.

I received my Magnoli English wool pants about two weeks ago, and I have ALL of the same raves TheMechanic has for his. I'll try to post a comparison between them and the Wested pants soon.
