What fabric for cream/off white odd trousers?

[EddieK]

I would like to get an odd pair. What fabric is best with this colour trouser?

Are you looking for a particular season?

Nope, just a versatile pair. I can preferably use for both summer/winter

That’s a wide temperature range. I’d say cotton would be a good place to start.

I’ve wanted a pair of off white/cream wool flannel to wear in the cooler months. Of course, that wouldn’t do well in the summer but something to consider.

My favorite pair of trousers.

Depending on temperature extremes, a tropical wool is a good compromise.
Here in the Bay Area of CA it seldom gets very hot or cold. I can wear some
dress slacks all year round.

Corduroy

Uniqlo have "ankle length" corduroy trousers as a decent price right now. Havent worn cords for many many moons and I thought they might be a good jumping-in point . They are slim as well which tend to suit my shape.

BUT ... Ankle-length ... Aren't all trousers, ideally , ankle-length? What does this mean when a trouser is specifically marketed as such?
If it means , as I suspect , that they are very slightly cropped so to end above the top of the shoe, rather than touching ... Could I simply buy a slightly longer leg than I usually do, and wear them as a regular trouser?
Lol edit ... Just reminded myself of the title of this thread and realised my reply is hugely off topic. Sorry.

I actually came in to say that I, too, have been looking around for a pair of off-white flannel trousers , and does anyone have recommendations?

Cotton at around 350g.

I like these two fabrics (from Spier Mackay MTO). What seasons are they both suited for?

Whatever you can clean easily/whatever is most resistant to stains.

If it were me, I would just get cotton twill and make them dressy chinos. But I've heard from friends that cream-colored five-pocket jeans or cords can be good with sport coats.

I find that I don't really wear linen as separates. Meaning, I only ever really wear my linen suit as a suit, not separates, even though I initially commissioned them with the intention of breaking them up. I have another linen suit on my list of things to get in the next year or so, but I don't know if I would commission linen odd trousers.

Barathea that would be used for a dinner jacket. Cloth can be found in most formal wear books. It's sturdy, has guts and minimal see-thru of the pockets and shirt etc. Has surface texture but not a seasonal look like flannel or linen.
Various weights available.

I have a few pairs of cream/off white trousers. The most classic are made from Fox Brothers' "Cricket White" worsted flannel at 9/10oz. Counter-intuitively, they are quite wearable in summer up to 80º or 85º. I have a very lightweight pair in a Zegna wool worsted, another pair in a lightweight gabardine, at around 8oz. Kit Blake made a version of its trousers in a silk/wool blend that are really nice. I also have a pair in a VBC silk/linen blend. All these are summer trousers. Then I have a pair of trousers made in a heavyweight Fox cavalry twill that was a collaboration with Permanent Style, and, finally, a pair of cream corduroy trousers. Those two are winter trousers.

So, it all depends on when you want to wear them and what fabric you like.

What seasons is a regular wool cream wearable?
