Just because a pant advertises itself as “cotton” or “wool” doesn’t necessarily mean that the fabric quality will be all that high. There are, after all, different types of cotton and wool weaves that have different effects on how the trousers feel. So the next time yo’ure at the store, don’t be afraid to test out the quality of the material by feeling it and getting a sense of the texture. Eventually you’ll learn what separates a tweed pant from an ordinary pair of denim jeans—and if you really get advanced, you’ll be able to tell the difference of quality between pants of the same type.
