They just arrived today. I got the wool blend in dark khaki. I'm impressed that they fit so well and the tailoring seems first class. My only concern is that they seem to be made in Thailand. Funny me, I was under the impression they were made by Magnoli. I guess I expect too much.
They are first class, and I might buy some more.
Many Thanks

I know you can't machine wash 100% wool pants, but what about this wool blend? I want to get accurate pants, but I hate the idea of dry-clean only pants. They'd be overly difficult to take care of for me.
Of course I'm sure Magnoli's pants are among the very best. I just need something a little bit more practical and still screen accurate.

Magnoli offers a cotton version of the pants, so no need for the dry cleaner.

Schmidty612....
They cost $99.00 including shipping. They are wool blend, so dry clean only. They are very well made, and I like them a lot. Are they SA? I just don't know. They've got lots of buttons, no zipper, and flap pockets. I like them a lot. I'll post pics later.
I simply said that I thought Magnoli was the tailor, not a broker. I'm a little disappointed in that, but then I expect too much.
Many Thanks

That's what I thought, but last time I checked the site they didn't have dark khaki in cotton. Just in wool blend. I tried to check again, but the site's going slow again.

If the site is giving you problems just shoot Magnoli a PM, he'll be more than happy to answer your questions that way.

Officially the wool blend are "dry clean only", but I have washed mine in cold water in the machine and line-dried them with no apparent ill effects.
As for the cotton, our stock is constantly rotating so whether you order cotton, wool blend or pure wool, I'll match whatever color is closest regardless of name (I've had near identical fabric from my manufacturer called "dark khaki", "mocha", and "camel"). If you want to know the availability of a particular fabric, drop me a line...
Kind regards,
Magnoli

Thanks for the help. Good to know.

So what would be the color closest to the Raiders pants that Magnoli offers in cotton? The look grey, almost like a dull green. I watched Raiders with my 3 year old brother last night and took notice of the pants color.

Your best bet would be to order "camel" in the cotton.

Tony,
What color for LC?

Since the fabric varies slightly from run to run, bolt to bolt, it's hard to pin down exact colors to films. In general, it seems that the wool blend mocha is more Raiders, while the cotton camel is more LC.
Kind regards,
Magnoli

It's nice to see more people turning to Tony for Indy clothes.
I have the same wool blend pants, and while I'm not enough of a stitch nazi to know exactly how screen accurate they are, I find that they hit close enough to the bulls-eye that I needn't look any further for the right pants.
While Magnoli may not personally make the clothes, they are top-notch. More over, his very personal customer service has proven unmatched in my gear-collecting career.
