New Source for Indy Pants

I went into Nordstrom the other day, and since I live on a shoestring
budget at times, I don't usually shop there. Yet I found a pair of pants
of the Falconnable brand, that not only had two rear flap pockets, but
also had a more vintage appearance than the pair I ordered from
L.L. Bean that had a generic appearance to them. The Falconnable pants
were a very screen accurate color, and they only were 69.50. Ten dollars
more than what L.L. Bean costs yes, but factor out the price of shipping.
The quality of the pants were far more superior to the L.L.Bean version to boot. They were dressy and looked like they could take a beating. Yes
you could get a pair of Dockers for less, but when you look at it from
an IndyGear perspective "Trust me".

Nice find! I'll be at Nordstrom tonight anyway! I’ll have to check these out.

Was there a taper to the pants?

Did they have a permanent crease?

Were the bottoms cuffed?

Did they have double outward or inward facing pleats?

THANKS! And sorry about all the questions, but I’m excited about the prospect of a new option.

Regards,

I think I found the pants online. They were the Falconable brand and they listed for $69.50. Here's the link:

Unforunately you can't see the pockets. The taupe color swatch is appears to be very close. Unfortunately I couldn'r reference the swatch here, but it is available online.

The taupe color was very close to Chachapoyan idol scene. I got them
hemmed at the store I bought them in. They come unfinished. The
pants are a nice addition to my everyday Indygear. There is even
a watch pocket like the old military pinks had. I like them!
They even have the twill pattern that the MBA pants have, but subtle not
like corduroy. If you don't like the creases you can iron them out easily.
Thanks for the posting the URL link Sergei, I don't have a digital camera
otherwise I would have posted pics. Too bad they aren't button fly, but
oh well...

Is it just me or does the belt pictured with the pants look like a reasonable sustitute for Indy's gunbelt? It doesn't have the metal stay next to the buckle, but it might do! I think I may check these pants out as well.
