Tropical wool trousers are a great alternative.

Chinos are IMO terrible for summer wear. Tightly woven cotton in generally heavier weights, no thank you.
Agree with above:
Tropical, high-twist, and/or open-weave wool (lots of choices - e.g. Standeven Explorer, Fox Air, Dugdale New Fine Worsted, VBC/Drapers 4-ply, etc.)
Linen or linen-cotton (drapes better than 100% linen)

Thanks everyone for the many suggestions here.
Some of these are quite good and I will be looking into them. I probably will pass on the linen, if only because I find linen is such a friggin' pain ********** to maintain because of how easily it wrinkles and stains.
