Perhaps this is an idiotic question, but the further I delve into researching cloth types the more confused I become.
What defines a dress pant? How does a casual chino differ from a "dress" chino? I'm assuming it's all in the cut and actual cloth. (they are both twill, correct?)
Many of the Mabitex/Incotex offerings found in B&S are cotton, ranging from "soft" look casual chinos to houndstooth cotton trousers.
Are these to be considered "dress pants"?
As far as wool pants are concerned: in a regular rotation of 1-2 pairs, would a plain (worsted) weave be chosen? Where does gabardine fall into this with it's inherent sheen from frequent wear.
Flannel seems to be a better choice as an addition to a solid rotation, right?
Hopefully this can be of use to others as well, thanks!
