wrong trousers!

[luk-cha]

havin been inspired by iammatts ace looking pants from Ambrosi it go me thinking, would you use different materials for constucting trousers depending on season ie; spring-summer (linen, fresco, cottons etc) and autumn-winter (moleskin, corduroy, flannel etc)

- waist band, is it best to use the same material on the inside of the waist band or some other material a silk, viscose or cotton
- pockets, what kind of pocketing fabrics would be best, or can you use any?
- linning, unlined, half linned also what if the fabric is light in color is there a best way that you can reduce transparency in the seat area?
- also what fabrics shouldn't you use tabs or buckle side adjusters and just stick to belt loops?

thanks in advance for you help with this!

I'm not sure what you mean by using the word 'constructing'. Do you wish to consider only waistbands, pockets, zips, lining, etc., but not the material used for the actual trousers?

For summer trousers, I would consider using the following fabrics:-

Below 30 degrees Centigrade (84 degrees Fahrenheit) or airconditioning available - Wool worsted trousers will be OK. Half-lining.

30 degrees Centigrade (84 degrees Fahrenheit) to 35 degrees Centigrade (93 degrees Fahrenheit) - Drill cotton, linen, Seersucker OK. No lining necessary.

Above 35 degrees Centigrade (93 degrees Fahrenheit) - Shirt cotton material, especially broadcloth (the thinner pinpoint Oxford?). Pockets self-facing material. Definitely no lining.
