Do any of y'all happen to know what kind of fabric this is? I found an old pair of my pants, but the label has been removed and I can't figure out what material it is.

Thanks,

Can't really tell from pics. Could be anything--wool, cotton, poly, or any blend thereof.

Quick test is to take a piece from the material, maybe from inside a hem, and do a burn test.

Good info here: http://www.fabrics.net/fabricsr.asp

BTW: Friends don't let friends wear man-made fabrics, particularly anywhere near a flame. Melting fabric is some BAD juju!

No bc i don't have any left over material.

Just by LOOKING at it, what kind of fabric would you say it LOOKS like?

just by looking at the photos, a wool or wool blend. Has the weave similar to some barathea cloth

Other than telling it's a twill weave, no way to tell from the photos. I have 100% cotton and 100% wool twill pants that both look identical to your pictures.
