magnoli trousers help

Post by hikz »

I'm considering buying some trousers from magnoli but I was wondering which ones you guys think are the best for the raiders look colour and material.

I would recommend the cavalry wool twill, as that is the most accurate material. Color is debatable. Depends who you ask.

I own a pair of Magnoli pants in the wool blend, and chose the dark khaki color. I find it too light for a Raiders look.

As Tundrarider says, though, Magnoli can be very helpful. He's studied this stuff carefully.

I would go with the Vintage brown if it is going to be from Magnoli's, its going to cost a bit more, but these are the best pants I have seen with the colors close to the ones you have seen in Raiders, you may have been a thread called amazing new adventure pants from Magnoli in the general gear section. Here is the link to the thread, viewtopic.php?f=16&t=43711 I suggest you give a look, can't go wrong with pants from Magnoli.

I have a pair of the "Adventure" pants from Magnoli, and hands down they are the nicest pair of
"dress" trousers I've ever owned. Very comfortable and they have the shirt stays in the waistband.
I wish ALL my pants had those. :)

Wow, and yet again it pays to check the threads before you post. I was just getting ready to type that question!
