Club Obi Wan

I have been searching WAY too long already... Both here, and on the Orvis site...

I know it is in here- a link to the Orvis officer's pinks tweed pants (close enough Raider's pants).

I have a $25 discount coupon burning a hole in my pocket flaps so I was interested in looking at those again.

Thanks in advance!

PS mods can delete this thread once the link is retreived; I will post it in my thread of close enough pants options I started a few weeks ago.

J!m, unfortunately Orvis no longer carries them. They haven't in a while, which is a pity because they are fantastic trousers. I have a pair I use for my Indy pants and I wear them to work quite often, as well. I've compared them along side Wested, Magnoli, and Noel Howard trousers, and in my book, they are much nicer trousers overall. (They are flat front, so while Officer Pink accurate--based off direct comparison--they are not 100% SA because of it.) I also like the pocket flaps on these better than any other offering I've seen. They also have a watch pocket.

I really wish they'd bring them back, because the material was terrific and the color spot on.

That really *****. Like a black hole in fact.

I have a discount coupon I was hoping to use... I guess I'll have to get something else instead...

J!m, keep your eyes open, you never know where you'll find Orvis stuff. In fact, today I'm wearing a different pair of Orvis trousers I picked up at a Goodwill for five bucks. It's out there, you just gotta look for it. ;-)

I've been looking- I actually have a decent pair of machine-washable pants that I will post pics of in my other thread...

I was just hoping to grab a pair of these pants...

Like I said, they're still out there. I got my Orvis pinks in much the same manner. ;-)

These are the ones I ordered (in light brown). It took about 3 weeks to come in because they were backordered, but I think they're perfect for close enough Raiders pants.

Those look great, Switch.

However, the point (for me at least) is to find pants like these that are LESS expensive than the "real" pants wrom Wested, (also wested) Noel Howard, Magnoli etc.

These, to their credit, are machine washable, and probably EXACTLY the right pants for a "real" Indy- machine washable. Very tempting, but for the money I would probably get the (dry clean only) "real" pants.

Thanks for the link- I will add it to my collection of close enough pants links in another thread I started (to keep it all in one place).
