I received my new trousers from Magnoli. I must say that he did a wonderful job on them. They fit great and are really comfortable. I ordered dark khaki, but they aren't as dark as my Westeds.

Here's a comparison of the Wested (underneath) and the Mangnoli trousers:

Here's a close up of the fabrics. Wested is 100% wool and the Magnoli are wool blend:

Thanks again Indy Magnoli.

Excellent pants! They are very well made. However, I would personally buy them in 100% wool. I saw that Magnoli offers 100% English wool. Maybe medium brown could be a closer SA choice.
One comment that I would like to make to all pants manufacturers though. I personally don't like the buttons' shape and colour! :) I always end up changing them in order to reach a correct colour contrast. :lol:

The thing I like about Magnoli's wool blend is that they are better for summer wear. They'll be cooler in the hot, humid weather than the wool.

If it's hot and humid, I wouldn't wear Indiana Jones pants in the first place. :P

No. I like the different shade. I'm sure Indy had different coloured trousers.

Good looking trousers. Looks like I'll have to order myself a pair. But yeah, I think I'd have to get the darker color.

Cheers!

they are quite a bit lighter than Westeds. I'm glad I saw this before thinking of ordering Magnoli's trousers.

Well, Magnoli offers them in various colors - I wouldn't discount them completely just yet.

Those look great, Hunter! That's Dark Khaki, hm? I got mine in Mocha, I think. :wink:

Hey McFly!!

Mocha is indeed a nice colour!! Also the pants have a nice fit! I had a different impression about those pants because the pictures in Magnoli's website are a bit misleading in my opinion because the pants are worn on the dummies pretty high!
