Hey gang, first post here. I am trying to find some very quality hefty cotton twill / canvas pants in a clean (not too low and skinny) cut that are machine washable. If any of you are familiar with Buzz Rickson drill, I am talking this kind of weight cloth. Pants that can be worn with blazers and odd jackets, bucks and wingtips. I really like the Epaulet Rivet chino, but they are a bit too low and tight. Thanks for the help.

I would suggest always wearing lighter weight trousers. They simply hang better. A heavy weight drill is going to be stiff and fit light a heavy jean.

Disagree with this statement. In my experience, heavier weight trousers tend to hang better.

I have a pair of Sid Mashburn cavalry twills that would probably fit the bill. Check out Sid,
