Wool or cotton trousers?

My Saville Row wool trousers keep fraying after less than a year. Thinking of buying cotton ones instead. Are they any more sturdy?

Not really. Where are your trousers wearing out? How often are you wearing them? Premature wear (eg in the crotch) is often a result of an overly tight fit in that area. How snug do your trousers fit?

They wear out on the bum area. Trousers are 100% wool and are not overly tight (they where tailored). I wear them every other week.
