: : Thanks for the offer, but they aren't my size. Could you tell me, are they comfortable? I know they are wool, but are they heavy or light? Also does the wool scratch, or is it pretty smooth?

: : Sorry all the questions,

: The wool is relatively smooth...it's a very tight weave. Which doesn't mean they don't itch just a tad, but they're quite bearable. The fabric is heavy - heavier by a good bit than that of the Noel Howard reproduction. You probably wouldn't want to ride an elephant through India on a hot summer's afternoon in them. Which isn't to say you'd be comfortable doing so in the reproduction trousers either, but you'd be a little better off.
