- Mushroom Cotton Twill - This medium weight cotton twill gives you the best of a bottom and top weight with structure and suppleness. At 6 oz, it's ideal for these looser fit trousers. In a peaty, medium brown, it's a great neutral on which to build an outfit, so you can layer all winter long, then wear it on its own when the weather warms again in the spring. Sounds perfect to us!
- Royal Blue 21 Wale Corduroy - The bright color of this blue just makes us happy. Add to that the almost velvet-like texture of the corduroy, and we're near ecstatic. Medium weight, this fabric will be comfortable to wear and easy to sew (for a cord). And don't worry about your pants ending up stiff. This cord is soft and pliable. These pants will be a joy to wear!
- Shiraz Heavyweight Cotton Broadcloth - Deep and dark, like the delicious glass of wine, the color is just one thing to love about this fabric. With a silky, dry hand and a heavier weight, this fabric is supple and wearable, like your favorite pair of khakis that you wore until holes appeared. Lightly brushed for softness, this is about as classic as you can get for a twill. And absolute wardrobe necessity!
