Wool Trousers
I have a couple pair of chinos that need replacing, and I can't stomach the $80/pair that J. Crew wants for cotton pants. I think I'm going to get a couple pair of wool trousers instead.
Any recommendations? Are there better deals out there than Brooks Brothers at 2 for $229?

BB make some nice ones though. Keep that in mind.

Re: Wool Trousers
I'd put chinos and wool trousers in pretty different categories as far as style goes, or level of casualness, at least. While it's great to have a couple nice pairs of wool trousers, if you need chinos and can't stomach the JCrew price, look for a coupon. They're usually on sale. And they're 25% off right now, so that should help some. Or try Gap for a less expensive option. And they also have sales regularly. I pretty much live in their lived-in slim khaki. 5 pairs, 5 colors, 5 days of the week, and I've probably only spent around $150, if that.

Re: Wool Trousers
Although BB is a higher priced item, they are really well made and are made from a really high quality wool.... in other words you get what you paid for.
If you take care of them, they will last a long time. 1 pair of BB > 2 pair of J. Crew or Limited quality pants

Yeah, that's true. I have a wardrobe that spans both categories. Most of my shoes and shirts are a bit more on the formal side, so I was thinking that dressing my wardrobe up a notch might not be a bad idea.
I ended up going with a couple pair of trousers from J. Press. They should show up today, so I'll soon see if it was a good choice.
