Don't know what you have against chinos. A well fitting pair is great.
That said, 5 pocket cords are a great option in cooler weather, and I've been wearing linen quite a bit lately. That whole summer thing and all, and they've been quite wonderful. If you get yourself down to your old navy, there might be a few clearance pairs of a line they had this spring- a white 100% linen and a 55/45 light brown. They're obviously not the highest quality, but the fit is nice and so is the price.
I'm just not sure what you have against a huge category of pants made from cotton twill. If there's something you hate about chinos, odds are it's not applicable to the entire category.
Was also wondering about this... what pants do people like for casual wear outside of jeans? I feel odd wearing my grey dress pants out to bars/etc.
Cords, Moleskin, Poplin, Linen, Wool... You can find solid casual pants in all of those materials, though bear in mind that the more casual you try and get the closer you'll inevitably get to chinos.
